I don't think there's a side in the league that wouldn't like to have a player like Eorl in their side. He's always been a hard worker in defence but is now consistently causing opposition defences major headaches himself. He has good feet, great hands and when he gets going he can really shift.

No doubt he'll be getting some form of ovation when he comes onto the pitch on Sunday. Nice timing as well by the club, may well bring a few more down to the game.

The man has Claret & Gold for blood! When I first heard this news, I was made up for Him & Helen. Security & just reward for a hard working individual who has given loyalty to his home town club.

Will this news outshine the next major signing

Well done Eorl

It's also a boost for the areas youth development because Eorl is heavily involved in that too.

Looking on the stats page of the superleague site I notice that Eorl is joint top of offloads with 43 for the season.

Brilliant news for our club, its made my day!!! WELL DONE EORL

Griff is still contracted next year isn't he?

I believe he and Jacko are both out of contract at the end of this season.

Just done a quick search of the Examiner website but it's not as good as it used to be for finding old articles. Will have another squizz...

Signed in 2007 on a 3 year deal.

www.examiner.co.uk/huddersfield- ... -24213740/ upsy daisy's link confirms then that Griff's in the last year of his current deal. If he goes he will take some replacing, he has recently started to find some form again.

I thought he'd signed another deal but could be wrong (I have been before )

He was in spanking form last season wasn't he, but I can't remember him extending. The Examiner site is now pretty rubbish for searching for the older articles though, which is a shame. It used to be really good but the format change doesn't work well now for the archived articles.

great news about eorl best prop in the league by a mile mainly because of his ability to offload, which other than graham at saints not many props do

EORL CRABTREE has today signed a five-year contract extension which will keep him at the Giants until the end of the 2015 season.

The 26-year-old England prop is now one of the hottest properties in Super League and the Giants have acted quickly to tie down their prize asset.

Crabtree has been at the heart of Huddersfield’s rise to third place in the top-flight table, with Warrington and England coach Tony Smith admitting the powerhouse front-row forward was the difference between the two sides in Sunday’s 28-10 Giants’ triumph over the Wolves.

Crabtree still has a year of his current deal to run, which will take in his testimonial season.

But the Ex-Underbank and Huddersfield YMCA rugby union junior has signed up for a new deal now to underline his full commitment to the cause.

"I think everyone knows how much I love this club and how much I love playing for the Giants, and I’m absolutely delighted to sign this extension," he said.

"Huddersfield are my home_ town club and I have always been proud to represent the Giants, especially through an era when we have progressed from National League I to become a force in Super League.

Fantastic news, hope he becomes an international regular now, on the form he's showing there's nobody else in SL to touch him. He should be a "shoe in" but unfortunately I don't pick the team.

Well done Big Eorl a true Fartown Great.

I hope Big Griff follows suit now.


ONWARDS AND UPWARDS

Ive said it a million times before on opposing teams forums, Eorl will never leave Huddersfield, 5 more years, fantastic news
