Well we have at least got our first points but to be honest we look anything but convincing, Its early days to be sure but we look like we are going to be persevering with the same style as last year which saw us ultimately fall short.
We have changed a few players ( not necessarily for worse ) but we don't seem to be attempting to change our style. Last season we dominated many teams but continually failed to convert pressure into points, a couple of individual efforts last week made our score look decent but that's exactly what they were , individual efforts , we had them last year from some players but the team in general in front of the sticks looks quite clueless on how to convert pressure to points.

Every other team with the exception of us and Wakey seem to know how to score, as i commented its early days yet but i was not happy with the reputation we gained last year for our style of play , I'm hoping Watson has a bit more up his sleeve than we have shown so far.
We have a big squad with some fine players if we can not produce a decent style of play now we never will. Fans want to see some football of the sort we have seen from the likes of Salford Leigh and H K R all who have almost certainly spent far less money than the Giants. For me Ian Watson has nowhere to hide this year it's time to deliver He has been here long enough to have all the men he wants.
We had a good season last year in terms of where we finished and we were desperately unlucky in the CC this year it's time to move forward with a decent style, We have the squad, do we have the coach?







in the CC but this year it's time to move forward

Let's see when Connor comes in and plays at 6. Pryce is not a half back. He's a full back, and just needs to run, use that great pace of his. Missed yesterday's match but didn't seem like many highlights.

you missed very little, Wakey contained our attack without much difficulty for most of the match and offered almost nothing themselves, in truth it just looked like two very poor sides. Fair enough we have only played twice yet but it doesn't look encouraging( hope i'm wrong )

I too am in full agreement with 'Joe Jumbuck' & 'Hangerman2'.
I left the Warrington game feeling unsure of what had changed for the better, but put it down to poor pre- season preparation.
I know both ourselves and Salford were beaten by The Wire. But if you contrast how Salford took the game to Warrington in the first half (which was a joy to watch) to our 'Watson Process' style, there are worrying signs that we're learning very little.
Unless Connor can match the creativity - week in week out - that Levi brought to us last season we will struggle to improve in my opinion.
As for Pryce? I'd be tempted to do a 'Jason Robinson' with him & play him on the wing while he learns to tackle correctly.
Big games on the horizon, we'll know a lot more after the next three!

I agree that the best place for Pryce atm is the wing. Watching the highlights of the wakey game was awful, kicking into opposition players legs, giving hospital passes or clinging on to the ball on the 6th. He has no halfback skills at all, just his step and his pace. To be honest i'm not sure why we are developing him for Newcastle Knights to prosper, he is nowhere near the finished article, a real one trick pony and the wing is the only place he should be playing with his current skillset.

I went to the reserves game on Saturday morning. Ollie Russell was looking pretty sharp, I think he should be in on Friday at stand off , as Pryce hasn't really set the world on fire in the last two games. I know it was against a very weaker Wakefield side but Ashworth look really good as did Harry Rushton
