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.

If we had offered a year and missed out on signing an on form player wanted by others then folk would still be moaning. Players want stability for their families. Can't blame them for that.
Coaches want stable teams can't blame them for that either. The issue is how to prevent stagnation. If it's done by offering pay per play or per win then it makes it difficult to judge salary against cap.

In league Express it said half wat through a 4 year deal

Joshy Mantellato is well known to Rick Stone.
Stone plucked him out of park football and coached him through to firstgrade at the Newcastle Knights.

4 year contract. and 2 more left on his deal !!! Now that is stability , bet his Agent is smiling. Why give old Players long contracts and try and get young ones like Jake Connor on the Cheap. Does Ken never look at how deals are done at his Club.????

Huby hasn't had the best season, can you blame him? And who in the club has

He is a quality prop and I am willing to bet will be a cornerstone of our pack next season

If I had a £1 for every time I had seen you write " In Anderson we trust " I would be getting a season ticket free.

made my thoughts clear on thewlis abit back.

stone seems to be rustling a few feathers at the moment it seems regarding the squad, we shall see. he saved our sl place so deserves some backing from the fans on decisions

nah, he cant kick goals for toffee!

we are ok in the wing departments with mcgillvary and murphy, ormsby

got that wrong.

i gave anderson time at the start of the season due to what had been going on with injuries etc but patience wore thin with the defeats and no sign of a turnaround. his time was up for me when we got knocked out of the cup at home to wakey.

huby was on the verge of an england call up when we signed him and i was happy we got him! hasnt pushed on, due injuries mainly and the ferres saga but we didnt have a crystal ball back then.

get all players on a 1 year deal, be no slacking from anyone then, but it doesnt work like that
