It shows that the squad is too lightweight as we haven't enough experienced players to plug the gap as with all due respect Nathan Mason and Josh Johnson can't plug the gaps and Larne Patrick for a man playing for a new contract ain't cutting it for me.
To avoid being negative who's faults that ?? The players ?? The fans ??
If we loan another 1-5 shirt player and not a forward it just beggars belief as it's an experienced aggressive forward we need or if not an experienced hooker and whether he likes it or not Hinchcliffe to 13 where he played in the NRL if we can't find a 13 this season.
It's not Jack Hughes we needed to replace Michael Lawrence does that nicely, it's Brett Ferres and Larne, Mason or Johnson ain't the answer!

Agreed but you can't use Ellis as a measure of the rest of the squad, hes always looked like hes carrying a few extra pounds

I'm with you on Larne, but hes all we've got the younger guys are doing ok for but perhaps its a season or two too soon for them.
Do you not think that of these players were available we would have been in for them? We have space on the cap I'm pretty sure on that, but at the moment they just aren't available. You can't sign whats not there.

Yes I know that's why the Ormsby loan doesn't make sense either I totally agree with waiting for the right player but it's a forward or two we need not an outside back that was a few weeks ago we needed backs and got Foster and Tansey

| I actually think J.Johnson is ready for SL, he's looked a solid player to me this year. Pretty much the same player as Koppy but 7/8 years younger and probably a third of the salary. Agreed we need a strike second row, and while I think Bruno has shone down the right I think we have missed him in the middle!

159 metres and 54 tackles last week for Mike a superman performance for me. Yet there are those who would still leave him out !!
J. Johnson stops before he is tackled and gives away too many penalties for me

| Quote jools="jools"Of course Greg brown was replaced- it would have been a daft thing to do to leave the club without a set of conditioners. You are talking like Greg brown was sacked- it could actually be that since Greg brown had been with the Giants since he qualified from hudds uni he may have felt that he needed a fresh challenge and to add something else to his career-he may have CHOSEN to leave. You also assume that Anderson was the one making the new appointment- perhaps not!'"
NO it was Anderson who wanted to replace Greg Brown.
No assumption fact

| You're 100% sure on that Durham? Able to elaborate? I mean, why on Earth would the coach want rid of the conditioner who had such a fantastic track record over the last couple of seasons?

I heard from a good source associated with the club although i dont know for sure why Anderson wanted to replace him.
The suggestion was that Anderson was looking for a reason on why we faded away at the end of the season.
This i was also told links in with Anderson losing the dressing room blaming others and not accepting responsibility .
There must be others who know more than me about this.
Jools and others sometimes bump into players . Someone must know something.
What i do feel is that anything official from the club i would be sceptical about.

| sorry fartown a big unit with pace yes please also lets joe move to 2nd row. hinchcliffe in the NRL was a similar type of player to bruno in d but offer more in attack so i can see where breailey is coming from . only 2nd row we could sign to replace ferris was jj who playing for Salford
looks like middle 8 with leeds we need to sjgn 2 more quality players for me 2nd row and a outside back for me or run the risk of 1m game
