4. Lee Gilmour
5. David Hodgson
6. Kevin Brown
7. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree

15. Keith Mason
16. Andy Raleigh
17. Danny Kirmond
18. Larne Patrick
19. Graeme Horne
20. Jermaine McGillvary

About 1 third. Additionally many of those who came from other teams WERE given a chance to continue playing because other teams were quite happy to block their progression by playing overpaid imports.
If the Giants did not give them a chance they might not be playing now. |

Is this the same Giants that came out and said they have a lot of cap room spare and are waiting on the availability of some NRL players before signing possibly 2 more for next season?

lol
even if they did sign 2 nrl players, they would still only have 5 non british players in the squad... a lot less than most |

Indeed. Just saying that I remember Brown mentioning recently that his squad isn't complete for next season.

good to see the large amount of english players in the squad, but lets be realistic, i'd be very suprised if the squad players from 20-33 manage a dozen SL games between them all

If it isn't, their squad number will be after the comp winner. |

In 2009 Shaun Lunt had squad number 24, Cudjoe had 21 - both England internationals by 2010. Lunt was regarded as our best player in the CC final.
in 2010 Larne Patrick had 23 and played about 21 games only being out through injury. Our player of the season last year was David Faiumu who had squad number 20.
Players are generally given their chances and it's up to them to take them.
Although I agree with your sentiment that the squad does think out quicker as you get higher than in previous years. |
