Given the shape of it I'm not surprised.

If the Giants do go down then i think that they could be finished as IMO Ken Davy seems to have given up on his ambitions for the club and tbh their crowds never really reached any great numbers when they were relatively successful,so maybe he has finally called it a day with his financial outlays

Moving forward could the Giants take the option to sell out and revive under an out of town franchise?
Would Ken Davy take the money and run?

I would be seriously worried if I was a Giants fan at this present time

He has certainly failed the Hair comb over job!


How long does it take for him to cover that forehead with his comb overs?

Tend to agree though I do worry that they'll put in a performance against us, much like wire did when Smith was seen by many as drinking in the last chance saloon.

Think Huddersfield's woes also show you should be careful when thinking Aussie coaches will be the solution. For every Michael Maguire or Nathan Brown you can get a Craig Sandercock or Rick Stone.

You say that, but Stone's track record was terrible. He got a chance at Newcastle, another team that was in need of a rebuild, and did just as bad leading them to the wooden spoon.

I refer telling a mate of mine who's a Hudds fan at the time they wouldn't get anywhere with him.

I do wonder whether Davey would go through it again if Hudds do get relegated which would be a shame because they have come miles from where they were and i think it would be undone pretty quickly in the championship. I think HKR are at danger of that too, fans have stuck with them this year but i dont think they will next year and the year after.

Saying that, Hudds havent been that bad. Todays result is a bit of an embarrassment but they only lost by 2 v wire, 7 v Les Catalans, drew with Saints, drew with Wigan. Well capable of turning it round.

I disagree. only 1/2 quality players and the rest are bang average

Two of their better ones in Cudjoe and Taai are rumoured to be out injured for a while too as well as one of their Aussie recruits Tom Symonds.

If they are in SL in 2018 I think they should consider moving on Brough at the end of this year and finding someone else to partner Gaskell (who has sounded like he's done ok there). Brough will be 35 before the 2018 season starts and his petulance continues as he has less impact on games. Move him on and start a fresh.

If Gaskell has been playing stand off, then for me thats the reason why they are where they are. Much the same as us last season, playing the Gaskell clone in the halfs. It doesn't work, neither are halfs.

Good teams, teams challenging at the top have good halfs working consistently. We changed our fortunes by our change to the halfs. Cas have good halfs, Wigan have good halfs. Warrington have changed their season around on bringing Patton back in the side. Saints struggle because they have no stand off and are playing the out of position Wilkin there too much.

Teams need to realise how important it is not to put square pegs in round holes. Players may well be decent players, but they can not just slot into any position and hope the team works with it.

He only moved started playing at HB since the Wigan away game that they drew, and also managed a draw away to Saints. In losses at home to ourselves and Catalans his HB partner got himself sinbinned in both at crucial times. The latter seems more the problem than former.

Like playing a centre in the halves?
