Wouldnt Drew be quota?

Am sure Gilmour signed for longer than one season with the Giants so a fee would be involved, don't think so some how. Brown would be a decent signing but in all N Browns chopping and changing trying to find a win recently there has been one consistency in his selections and thats K Brown so cant see him going anywhere and as for Drew, you're having a laugh aren't you, was over the hill about 3 years ago and is quota anyway so won't be coming here

Youre forgetting that N Brown is off at the end of the year.

kevin brown is the new rich horne...same build,stauture and body movements......younger,fitter etc he cud slip into hornes number 6 no doubt about it for me...

No, and I agree another coach could see things differently, but think he has probably got enough support from Paul Anderson and the rest of the coaching panel to be staying put. Looks to me that he is the most consistent performer at the Giants, certainly rate him higher than all there other halves and there's enough of them to fill about 3 teams......

Wouldn't disappoint me either but think Rich has a couple of years left in him yet, just needs to get his fitness problems behind him and he'll show the doubters

Yes, but don't let facts get in the way of a good rumour

L Burgess from Leeds
B Harrison from Warrington
K Welham from Hull KR
S Tomkins from Wigan .... no chance I know but sling some cash at them from money we save getting rid of the surplus players and the half back we have now ( R Horne )

Quite possibly the most unrealistic list I've ever seen put together.

Are you for real? It would cost money to get rod of Richard Horne, not save money!

And he's a great club servant who still has a great deal to give, he deserves better then comments like that, IMO

I think some people get rumours and fantasy rugby league mixed up.

It's great.



Lets face it, all the big signings we have made recently came out of the blue.

Of the names been banded about recently I would take:-

Kevin Brown, Keith Mason, Stuart Fielden. All the sort of players we should be interested in.


Would not take:-

Sheriffe, Drew or Gilmour.

Ben Harrison is going to be a quality player, would love him here.

Spot on.

Thought Fielden was average in this weekend's cup game - no better than what we currently have. Nowhere near the player he was. Not keen on Mason either. Brown I would have here in an instant a massively improved player - more skillful than Horne in my view.

Already is - he is one I would certainly take.

Fieldon has taken some stick since he went to Wigan but from a metres made perspective and an offload perspective he's head and shoulders above Dowes, Radford and Cusack. I'd take him in a shot for the right price. He may be Crusaders bound though.

Matty Smith is a player we should be looking at, if we cant produce a half back ourselves then he would be a good choice. Would like to test the Giants with an offer for Cudjoe or Lawrence, can see a big future for either of them but would not be so sure about Mason as he reminds me a bit of Fozzard with the size of his heart. Would have a go for Murphy at Wakey, pace to burn and offers utility value as well. Someone off the beaten track who would offer something for the back row as well as up front could be Ben Flower from Crusaders, had a big impact in a couple of games recently

Stephen Wild from Hudds? Or Ratchford from Salford

Hope so. He was largely ineffective against Leeds. Would prefer a younger player with more to prove.

I'd prefer a younger player too. Guess it depends which other English prop forwards are available.

I'd rather have Fieldon though over Dowes/Radford/Cusack if that was the choice we had to make.

Wild has been held up a bit the last couple of seasons through injuries so would slot right in here. Not too sure about Ratchford, as was pointed out by someone else on here his tackling could be described as Thormanesque at times, would like to see him have a run at halfback as he doesnt appear to be a centre that we should be falling over ourselves to sign

Didn't realise fielden is 31 soon , except for LMS is there many young props available ?
