Has Thewlis asked him to take a pay cut? Usual practice.
With Crabtree and Johnson on way out we are going to be short.
Never mind the 3 Recruits from Bulls ,Thewlis signings, Rick never Seen them play will be cheap recruits.
After the season we have had, (finished Bottom ) a big shake up needed starting at the TOP.

lunt thought he was too good for us, got too big for his own boots

didnt want to stay and fight for his place at the club so got shipped out, dont want players like that at the giants, ones that arent comitted to the cause are no good for us

huby available then if anyone wants to take on his big wage

stone wants to reshape the squad and my god does it need it !

huby came to the giants on the verge of an england call up but no where near that now

in stone we trust!

If we need to free up salary cap then i can understand letting Huby go. We have plenty of options at prop. Rapira, Mason, Smith with the probability of Clough and Stockwell joining them. I also prefer Taai playing down the middle and thought he did a great job in the last two games. Added to this Roberts although not built like a prop has played well when used down the middle.

Trouble with you Brearley is that you believe everything that the Clubs PR feed you. You should say "in Thewlis we trust" Stone will be like Anderson a yes man .

I have to agree with you. I believe Thewlis has a lot to do with the signings more than people think. A lot of our supporters need to wake up and stop beleiving certain players are worthy still just because they have been solid in the past.

Why is this a ridiculous way of doing things? We hold all the cards. He can't leave without us allowing him to-we hold his registration and another club can't take it on without us releasing him. If he leaves it too late we don't have to sell him on -he is still contracted. Have you thought perhaps Huby finds it difficult due to the environment he finds himself in having bad connotations and he may actually want to move on ....to be able to move on!

So despite a succession of coaches stating that thewlis has nothing to do with signings you still believe he does- based on what evidence????

Based on the fact that if he does not move on we are left holding a player the club have no faith in ( otherwise why tell him he can go). If he does not go quickly we will find it difficult to get someone in to replace him. Then we are left with an unhappy player. That could leave us with two unhappy props.

For the average fan like me who has no inside knowledge of the club or know any players it's difficult to work out where the truth is in any of these rumours, so I work on a mix of what I see on the field and take a view of the running of the club from how things progress. I would hope that a coach puts forward players he wants / doesn't want and that if Huby can go then that is down to RS.
I hope to see a fit well organised team playing a decent type of rugby and a team that is together.
I do hope things change internally as it appears to me we are stagnating and as much as the playing staff needs refreshing it may well benefit to freshen the management of the club and brings new ideas.
Ken Davy talked of getting back to challenging the top, let's hope it starts next season.
Adam Walker has been mentioned here and I also like Maurice Blair at HKR

It was Anderson who signed Huby who was playing well for Cas, but who decided on 3 year deal.? Was it Agent or Player power to get that length of deal? I don't think Anderson or Stone are involved in this detail on contracts. Now the Player is out of favour the length of contract is irrelevant is it? Contracts can be broken by the Club but not the Players. Rugby League is still stuck in a sixties time wrap and does not respect employees rites. Thewlis should accept responsibility for contract negotiations with Agents at Giants.
