Get off Smiths back !
He is nowhere near as bad as he is being portrayed.
Ratchford is a fine player but his kicking at Odsal was woeful.
Had that been Smith...................................

The Giants have released 6 players do you consider they are a club in crisis?

No because there not salford and have far more money to spend than us.

Gilmour
Fa'alogo
Drew
McGilvary back from loan.
McNally back from loan.

Have all been drafted in, so no.

What concerns me if we cant afford to keep players will we get a stadium the club is falling to pieces and no one seems to be bothered at the club. I have lost total intrest in going and i have been there for 20 years supporting them. The reason i wont be going any more is there dont seem to be any ambition to move the club forward we always seem to go backwards. Will this club be in super league after three years i think not.

Two completely different things. The club is not buidling the stadium. It's like saying "If I can't afford a new car will a friend of mine be able to get new windows?"

i think white will be going too.stapo didnt turn down contract there wasn't one to turn down as he said on monday any wage would have been ok.

So nobody at the club is bothered?Does this include the directors who have put possibly millions into it over the years ?

Does this include Alan Hunte and the Academy & reserve team coaches who have produced Ratchford, Adamson,Palfrey, Turner etc?

Does this include the fans who still have an active interest in the club progressing next season and beyond and who will give 100% support?

No ambition to move forward?What about the proposed stadium which has cost some of our directors millions up to now only to be slagged off by people such as yourself you probably thought that John Prescott putting a spoke in the wheel was justified.

Will the club be in Superleague in 2012, if we progress, increase our fan base and get the stadium, and improve our turnover Yes we will.

With regards to whether we can afford players or not both Richie Myler and Jordan Turner accepted offers higher than we offered them and in Richie's case it was a significantly higher one than the club could afford and the rules state that if they want to leave they can do.

The club are obviously looking at younger players whose contracts end in November when no transfer fee will be required hence little activity and if you took the trouble to ask the correct people in a reasonable way what is going on at the club they will tell you what they can.

Many people have not lost interest in attending matches others have not been too happy but all in all most of the fans that I know will remain fans wherever we play and whoever we play.

Spot-on, but don't expect a response - it's here to whinge, not debate.

Yep - we can't have any reality checks or positive points on here

We need a specialised full-back!!

It was meant to show how only seeing one side (i.e released players) was futile.

Couldn't agree more - I've tried irony & sarcasm - perhaps downright abuse is the only answer!!
