TBH from what i have seen of him he as pace but could not tackle me, put money on he wont play regular in super league.

A shame Greg's gone but a two year contract was offered and turned down there's not alot you can say , move on

Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine)

Huddersfield bound, he'll be a star.

I can sympathise with you on this one - Shudds don't need to bother with an academy set-up, so long as they've got WTW and Cas doing it for them, and access to Uncle Ken's bottomless chequebook.

3 now from Cas I think bren2k. Matt Dawson, Jamie Cording & Eden.

how do you explain...

Micheal Lawrence
Leroy cudjoe
Eorl Crabtree
Andy Raleigh
Jermaine Mcgillvary
Jacob Fairbank etc...

products of the giants and youth system and more to follow

we have lost our own youngsters in times gone by when we were bottom or super league and relegated

chris bridge springs to mind

yeh but we ofload a few back to you



jackson
hudson
snitch
jones
fozzard
aspinwall

all ex giants



and even do you the favour of loaning you kyle wood!

as for wakefield...

Luke george
Korkidas
Griffin
Johnson

You offered george a big wage to leave our academy setup and we gave you the last two for free!

but think george is coming back home soon

And if the contract was out of sync with current market prices, below par, as the directors themselves admitted in Feb?...he should have just taken it anyway should he? C'mon lets at least be real about these things.

Jackson, Hudson & Snitch are all Wakefield products I think? Jones & Aspinwall from the Wigan setup & Fozzard from Leeds. Kyle Wood is a product of Castleford junior rugby but not sure where he served his academy years.

I don't think there are any Huddersfield products in the Castleford squad.

Any the Giants aren't doing anything wrong by the way, it's good to see them investing in young English players, it'd just be nicer if we could keep ours at our club but that's our problem, not yours.

We did this to death at the time, but don't be trying to kid anyone on - you didn't 'give' Griffin and Johnson to us - they were released, probably to make room for Ferguson, a player you obtained in a way that still sticks in the craw. And we're talking about fringe players, one of whom was and still is facing a lengthy stretch in the big house.

Korkidas is still on your books I believe - on permanent loan as part of the Brough 'deal.'

Some facts are always useful in a discussion like this.
