Why not?

Whenever I see a game at the Galpharm on Sky it looks like the Huddersfield fans have boycotted the game

(If that doesn't bring in the Huddersfield fans onto this thread.... )

Nope, turn up in numbers, sing like we did at wigan. Feck em. If we're going to go out of the league we should go screaming and kicking, not quietly into the night.

Support the lads and try to get into the end of season playoff party dispite the points deduction.

I would bet good money he has been as respectful of the Bulls as Caisley and Hood have been of the Giants.

first bite

problem is cripes and you well know this - it is only past three years where they have really been interested in youth.

Eorl crabtree is a testament to hard work but he was quite big and very raw in his early career - took a long time to get to where he is now.

Tbf, the emergence of a Bradford Davy would cause jubilation on these boards right now. I wish a RL club could be sustainable at Odsal through people power alone but it would appear that is very much a dream for the foreseeable.

That was what I assumed when I read the subject matter.

well this is one of problems with their not been transparency with supposed teams wanting us out - i suspect giants are one of teams against would make sense a few fans of ours live closer to giants and with the pool of youngsters close enough to choose from hudds would not have to fight as hard as most youngsters would still sign for a super league club over a championship club.

really the support from most fans would appear to be other fans want us to stay - comments on boards and other fans talked to outside of grounds etc - why not let the fans of each club vote to decide rather than chairmen whom could hold grudges?

The giants have been interested in developing players for much longer. There are several good sl players who came through the giants. No where near as many as from the better established clubs. Recently they are getting better at player development.

Posters claiming we do stuff all in development are ignorant.

I agree that you do more than some people think but it has not always been their first priority. Like you say they are taking a bigger interest .... it is just when players are poached on bigger contracts from your own academy that it does get people thinking that you only poach not develop.

The likes of patrick who we had written off you have developed well but the likes of wardle - who i think would have played a lot more games for us had he stayed, to claim he has done better with you is shocking as i watched him play 6 in academy and centre for 1st team and im thinking he has played centre,wing and back row for you which shows he has been moved around and maybe found a better position rather than been out and out developed.

Players move from an academy to other clubs all the time. The Giants have done very little of this 'poaching' others have done much more of this.

Wardle has been at centre throughout at the giants. wardle did not stay because Mcnamara, and more particularly the asssiatnt coaches advising Potter, were not over keen to keep him. i am told his initial giants contract was not something the bulls could not match.

Looking at their attendances it seems they boycott themselves..

I've mulled over this myself and have come to the conclusion that I'll be there to support the team and will worry about Ken Davy another day. If it turns out that he has been manouvering to remove us and denying us the ability to make 10, I'll just stay away from all future RFL events a the Galpharm (much like most other England fans if I'm honest)

Why not boycott RL as a whole, as the RFL are obviously out to destroy you?
