| I think you all need to cut Gianttown some slack, as it was only a couple of weeks ago that people were moaning about the lack of activity on this forum.
Gianttown comes along and feeds you and all you can do is slag him off!
Surely he's good to keep going until the season starts, because when he's gone, you'll missed him!

| Quote ="vastman"Agreed, it was the young players who really showed up as you would expect and hope for. Though England played his like a man possessed and Dave looked sharp.
Batchelor sort of eclipsed Crowther when he burst onto the scene but now they look pretty even, which is absolutely brilliant for us.t
Crowther moved up at the same time as TJ and Jowitt but due mainly to the physicality of his position made less of an impact for quite a while, again as you would expect.
Now Jowitt is doing OK and TJ is a phenomena (how high did he jump last night!). Yet in terms of future team building and laying a platform for the other two Crowther may well be the most important of the three. He probably won't get the adoration and recognition that TJ gets but the Jordans of this world are what makes teams great, they give us a backbone.
He who is last will be first.
PS: Now if Big Lad can send me a cheque to Vastman Knows Ltd for that endorsement

Just to clarify
GiantRL is a Huddersfield fan who has a different opinion to us
GiantTown is just winding you up and is not a Giants fan........though may be mildly entertaining until you realise he is winding you up.

| I suppose we should respect Gianttown for trying to improve himself by taking a btec in dog grooming its a tad more sophisticated than just grabbing them by their collar and proceeding with his wicked way

And then when you take into account what they must be paying him to get him over here in the first place!
In all fairness to the bloke though it was his first game back from a horrific injury and was a nothing game, think he will probably come good during the season at some point, just depends whether or not he settles in and is here to play! Was apparently big in the community side of the game when at Newcastle as well which is always a positive for a club.

I think his record speaks for itself and this is absolutely right, an absolutely nothing game in freezing conditions probably wasn't the best one for him to come back to.
If anyone is going to question his talent based on this game then they meed to give their head a good shake.

Yet time and time again we have seen that the this pedigree that we seem to put players on because they have had a good NRL career is setting them up to fail - Who would have questioned Kevin Locke`s talent when joining Salford? Or the like of Inu at Catalan? Until I have seen them perform and make an impact for there club in SL nothing else really matters...
Fans of other clubs bang on about Wakefield not been able to attract/afford these types of player well quite frankly I am glad that we cannot... Give me the likes of Tupou and Fifita any day over Uate and Merrin - They will be on a fraction of the salary and turn up with the right attitude the majority of the time.

| This was a pre season friendly. A warm up. Can't take too much from these games and it's a good job or we'd have a 25 page thread on here about goal kicking. Come the season see if our bogey side comes good, or hopefully an easy 6 points for us.

They are not totally meaningless in that you can gauge fitness and sharpness to a degree.
I thought the Leeds, Hull and Hudds games were played to a fairly competitive level, more so than most friendlies I've seen through the years. The tackling in the Hull game was especially brutal, no doubt a side effect of last years drubbing.
Yes they aren't real games as such but I thought these were three very useful work outs indeed and that we should with a bit of luck hit the ground running at London.
Also only one casualty, which is pretty good going when you consider that Hull and Wigan have generally lost half a team before most seasons even start.

Agreed and I think that it was one of your earlier posts that suggested that players who are confident of a shirt in the opening fixtures dont have to show too much in the warm up games and unless he comes a cropper before the opening round, Uate is nailed on for a starting spot.
He was still disappointing on the night though, I mistakenly thought that he may want to show people just how good he is, rather than just get through.
Time will tell and his reputation will count for nothing is Huddersfield aren't winning too many games.

| Before we played Hudds in friendly some of their fans were of the opinion they were far superior to us in every position.

| What sort of team did he eventually select, said on teletext he'd only named 18 due to injury. Not good this early in the season. great result for Salford but they have no depth at all and will struggle when they start to pick up a few injuries.

| Dunno what you're all going on about him for, its not like it gives a 5h1t about Shudds.
That account is dead until its narcissistic creator needs more attention, at which point it'll declare some other equally ludicrous trolling pov........and so it continues.
