I’m not suggesting they don’t try and win, just pointing out that what we now have is a long series of glorified friendlies with absolutely no pressure.

The club can choose what it wants to do with this series of games. And getting players who may need surgery and a long recovery period back to full fitness is a perfectly valid choice. As is playing youngsters against good opposition with no pressure.

I think we continue as we are. Beat wakey- and then look to make us the team the rest dont want to play. Keep playing the nucleus of the squad we have. U19s have a shot at the playoffs so let the likes of the senior twins, wardle, Russell do their bit towards that. They will get their chances as Woolford has already shown.

you have a soft spot for the wildcats and castleford we know this

posted a wildcats topic not long ago on here too, can give credit on the virtual terrace if you really need too!!

this

but not sure about just throwing the youngsters in for the sake of it.

but just like last season when we made the 8, its job done....

We have a coach who has galvanised the team and made them into the form team currently second only to Saints. Can't see anything other than us going all out to get as high as possible with every game treated the same. Yes we may see some of the youngsters given a chance within the structure of the senior players and a winning team. That is where both they and the team benefit not by throwing them all in at once and risk upsetting the momentum we have gained or the first team players who have worked their a$$e$ off to get us so far.
If I was one of the upcoming academy players I would be working my socks off to prove myself for next season to ensure a SL future career regardless of which tier of RL I was in. Giants are on the up and we are a genuine appeal to any aspiring player to be a part of.

Agree entirely Code no player should go on the field thinking anything else but winning.

Yup, that's why I put unlikely in my post

Really poor attitude, bet you're a hoot to be with.

We were shot with injuries, you aren’t and are arguably the form team in SL

still missing a few

ikahihifo... 2017 dream team prop
leeming... engand knights hooker

and we have gone most the season with injuries..crippled at the start thats why we were bottom really

could add players that have gone too.. tom symonds (aussie took up a fair chunk of salary cap and a quota spot) and shannon wakeman... adam walne been a waste of cap space too

thats 5 that were supposed to be starters at the beginning of the season but we have got away with it with others stepping up

What was said was
“And getting players who may need surgery and a long recovery period back to full fitness is a perfectly valid choice”

Your pal said this was a bad attitude.

Nowvyour saying injuries are an excuse.

Clearly our early injury issues went unannounced- 13 out in the first few weeks of the season- do you not think some of those are still struggling and playing with injections etc?


Oh- and what WAS the cause of that 2016 car accident?

My point was now you have most of your players back and are in top form so should look to continue to win as many games as you can, whereas we in 2016 were the opposite

It's the taking part what matters, better than languishing at the bottom of SL, Oh and one other stat for you, Salford v Shudds lowest attendance of the 30 weekly rounds for the 2016, an even worse season for you don't you think
