campese and kelly are class players for me but like i said we are covered in those positions. i think campese will retire and kelly will find another club soon

walker is ok but not sure we need a prop like him

we have smith to come back next season from injury so thats like a new prop and also clough from bulls to join if rumours correct.

i think josh johnson will be on his way now , shame as he has abit of mongrel in him which we lack but maybe lacks the size.. close between him and mason and i favoured johnson out of the two but mason has gone ok suppose just been asked to play too many games through senior injuries.

wood on his way too, like him as he is the type of hooker we lack with pace and can cause problems but again hes no mongrel in him and if it means a change of culture in the team then so be it. also his defence isnt good enough for a hooker.

That's just the way of this board mate, Lunt was and still is a good player, but for whatever reason, he left the Giants and so is in line for endless ridicule, Don't try to make any sense of it.

He was a good player, he is a decent player

And he gets stick because he thought he was too good for us imo

According to League Express we have told Huby he can go if he can find another club.

Probably to save money on the catering bill at the club.

This to me seems a ridiculous way of doing things. I just hope he does not decide to join another club at the last minute when we cannot replace him as there is no one left.

What??? When we are currently short on props????

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????
