This week Connor said his contract negotiations were ongoing for three months ! I posted Huby to Wakey 3weeks ago. Ferguson they could not offload. Yet again Thewlis comes out with lies, when will Ken realise that he needs replacing. He is pulling the Club down and Rick Stone in the peocess.

Can't even bear the thought of R Bailey coming to us, why did you guys mention him and spoil my weekend. Going to start with an early drink today to drown that thought!

What he is actually quoted as saying is, that Huby was seemingly happy at the club and very much part of the plans until a few days ago, regardless of what the media/social media say, if the player says he's happy then the club have to take that as gospel.
So Huby then asks to leave, so what do we do? agree to release him, presumably for a fee? or make an unhappy player stay?
Can't see anything wrong with what the club or Thewlis has done or said, to me, it's just another "bash the club" thread!

Good luck to Chubs, it never really worked out for him here for various reasons.

If Rick Stone told Huby to find a new club then I expect that his replacement will be announced pretty soon...

Pinocchio Thewlis is in full flight now, he can't help himself.

He also lies to people within the club, even former coaches. "Thewlis is driving the club into the ground" - That was from somebody who was employed by the club until the middle of June!

How Thewlis still has a job is beyond me. Surely the only thing saving him is he's a friend of the Davy family. His arrogance is beyond words.

We are pushing it mighty fine. If we don't get 2/3 players in over next 2/3 weeks we are going to have had almost a full pre season where:

1 senior prop (Rapira) is going to be trying to bring on the rest of the youngsters during the whole of the pre season. If Rapirs gets injured we are F***ed.

No recognised full back participating in all of pre season.

Brough our main influence out till almost Christmas with his injury and not participating in most of pre season

Joe Wardle unsure whether he will be going to Newcastle or not.

Id say things are looking extremely bad for us at the moment and we are in a world of trouble with only 2 Quota spots available and pretty much NO English players within reason available. If we are looking at the likes of Bailey/Harrison etc we are going massively backwards.

What I would expect him to say is "Thank you for your honesty Craig. We will of course accede to your request and make you available. However I think you have to understand that from our point of view you are an experienced prop forward. Having already lost Eorl Crabtree it would be foolish of us to release you without an adequate replacement. Therefore, although we won't stand in your way, we would expect you to be professional enough to continue your commitments to this club as per the four year contract you signed just two years ago. Until such a time as we can put something in place regarding a replacement."

I wouldn't expect him to offload him with indecent haste and then release a statement that says that I have no idea what is going on at my club re personnell relationships and that i've yet again released a player in the full and frank knowledge that we haven't a replacement which just reinforces the aura of incompetency that surrounds me.

But maybe that's just me.

no surprise huby has gone, was rumours at the end of last season

glad to see the back of him as hes obviously unhappy at the giants and we dont need players like that as last season the culture at the club was rotten.

barring the odd good game huby has been a huge disappointment and injury prone

will be a big earner of the salary cap so give stone abit more money to play with, hope we get this wakeman in

the rumour huby was going has been around for a long while, come on dont be so naive

make an unhappy player stay?? what like we may do with wardle if we cant offload him too
