Rapira is a doubt but Crabtree are Symonds won't play.

get rid of stone if that's how he prepares a team for a life and death game they had the intensity of going for jog in the park

I won't be there, but I have a question for Stone.

Has he ever actually coached a rugby league team before?

Are you exonerating Paul Anderson then?

l would not blame Stone for todays game, this is a shambolic performance from a group of players who have shown no pride in the shirt, no passion, and have been totally outplayed by a championship side, the worst performance l have wittnessed for a long time, even l feel ashamed.

The problem is Thewlis, and the senior players who have a mediocre attitude and don't have the balls to win.

Given the team, this is the worst performance for a very long time. Back in the days of Hudds/Sheffield and all that, the team was crap. They got beat because they were crap.

This lot are getting beaten because they can't be d.

I think, therefore, that this may be the worst performance I've ever seen from the Giants.

Ultimately the coaches the players and the conditioning staff are all chosen based on certain criteria.

The club has been mismanaged for a long time.

Thewlis needs to go

The debacle we have seen today has been building up for the last four seasons. Really poor decision making by the club leaves us in a position where we are left with nothing to even feel confident about for the future whilst he is at the helm

id go along with that too

It's just that Stone's been around for about a month now, and he's had a couple of games to get to know the players. I'm not expecting miracles in that time, but his team just served up the worst half of rugby league I've ever seen from a professional team.

So, you know, is he actually any good?

As awful as it was. You can't blame Stone for nobody claiming the first kick off, or conner kicking out on the full the resulting kick off, or Murphy dropping the ball in our first attaching set. Attitude from the players stinks

No but you can blame him that in the biggest of games we took 50 minutes to turn up except for like at Salford a five minute period where we scored 10 quick points until we/Brough did something stupid !!

Yes the players were dire but I expected to see us breathing fire but nooo once again we were 'rabbits in the headlights'
