great news for the players and the club and imo all totally justified, having to pinch myself that giants have one in the squad so six is incredible hats off to mcnamara for having the sense to pick players on merit not reputation.

Absolutely.

A slow steady rise from

"well, we might avoid relegation" to "You'll compete in at cup finals, semi-finals football and be considered for international selection"

This is a huge pat on the back to Sir Ken, Nathan and all the staff at the Giants.

A Quick scan through other club boards seem to rubbish Robinson`s selection. What they do not take into account is his defensive work. The lad takes on any forward regardless of size, and I would bet he has done more tackles than any other scrum half. And he is no slouch if there is a gap to nip through.

Robbo has been in great form for the last 12 weeks or more and IMO his selection is justified. Opposition forwards run at him time and again yet he fronts up and deals with it admirably and this part of his game is where NB & PA have really helped him. Add in that he has got that knack of finding that gap at dummy half and backs up breaks and I don't see why people can question his selection. Injuries to his positional rivals make his selection a no brainer and if he actually plays I think he'll do a great job.

All I can say is "WOW"!!

All six deserve their place in the squad. I feel for mason too as he's been solid all year and wouldn't of been far off a call up.

These selections bode well for Fartown and will increase our stature throughout the game and help us push onwards and upwards in Super League

Mase has had a great season, but I wonder if Macbananarama thought it might be a little unwise to include both him and Fielden in the same side.
It would certainly lead to a lively dressing room

The squad does worry me though. The outside backs look weak (toby clubb is a joke)
and i see no one in the squad with a decent long kicking game to relieve the pressure the Aussies and NZ will put us under.

Great achievement for the players and the club!

I still cannot believe this.

Bet some of them can't neither.

Not trying to bag here as it is obviously a success to get so many players in the squad, but how many would be in the side?

For me, it would only be Kev Brown. I rate Griffin but i feel Fielden is the better player, and think we can manage with 3 props as we have Burgess who can rotate between 2nd row and prop.

I expected Crabtree to really kick on this year, but I haven't seen dominating the opposition like I expected (although I have only had limited viewing).

Cudjoe will be in the England side in a couple of years, but where is his best position? I think the centres for England are sorted (even with the lack of quality), FB will be Widdop or Tomkins (the other at 6) and the wingers should be Hall and Briscoe (With Goulding as backup).

Robinson is like Burrow for me, a good SL player but will be ineffectual at international level (although this is the same for many of our backs).

Lastly, I expected big things of Lunt this year, but has him been playing out of position a reflection on his performances, or a need to have Brown, Brough and Robinson on the field at the same time?
