so not to lose the handfull of people who would rather stay home and watch 2 teams they dont support the giants kick off early and lose out on attracting the future of the club,

Ken Davey himself said 4 year ago(when talking about the 7's scheme) that at the age of 7/8 kids are making decisiona as to who they will support for the rest of there life so lets make this decision easy for them and there family's

I think can answer most of those questions by reading the community section of the Giants club website as to why and how it has changed.

lock it - its boring pointscoring bollox !!

I think this is done

"I believe Rugby League’s strengths to be in its community values and fabulous playing spectacle. On Saturday we will see both perfectly showcased at our ground. We have ten local teams playing under 8 curtain raisers prior to the main event then at half time have 20 schools demonstrating their cheerleading prowess all of which have come from our community departments involvement in the local areas. The game speaks for itself in terms of profile and its great that our main broadcast partner has chosen to televise it.”
