| Murphy! Sign this lad ASAP! Years in him yet and proved too valuable not to have in the squad! Defence and attack and versatile! Mr consistent!
Fuey! Again one hell of a player who has done what ever has been asked of him positionally! Good long timer who I think has a good few seasons yet and a lot to offer in way of knowledge as a coach!
Grix! This lad stepped up when hodgy left'! Has built in confidence and his role in the team is massive! Has the occasional bad day but they are few and far between! Sign him up!
Chan! My sons fav player now he seems him everyday dropping off his kid at the same nursery! Explosive and clever play, another lad who looks happy in the squad and adds a whole lot! Sign him up!
Johnson can be very good for us I feel! Certainly not let anyone down with his performances this year! Would sooner see koppy leave than this young lad
Blackmore unfortunately to go. With jerry, Murphy, broughton chances maybe to few and far between for this lad to break through
Mason with mulalley coming back and looking so good and Johnson performing his pecking order is at the bottom! Unfortunate with injuries but he may be able to serve more up for another side
Miller! Keep him with us! Not had the chance with the first team but certainly one to watch!

That's great news! He puts himself about and will only get better and bigger with age! What's he signed up to?

| Huddersfield Giants have handed 20-year-old prop forward Josh Johnson a contract extension that will keep him at the John Smith's Stadium until the end of the 2016 season.
The academy product made his Giants debut 12 months ago and has appeared in four of their last First Utility Super League matches.
Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson said: "Josh is deserving of a longer opportunity at the club and he is well aware of what he needs to do to keep improving as a professional."
Johnson said: "My aim at the start of the year was to get an early extension to my contract and obviously I am pleased that it's sorted out and I have a great chance here to become a fully-fledged Super League player."

| i like robbo at hooker with lunt .robbo at 7 if he catches it tends to send out to many red cross passes for me wood at 7 did OK for me against wakey .but i would like to a top class 7 to take some pressure of brough.It would also help if our props would up there game as well a couple not pulling there weight at the moment.

| Brierly does look to be tearing up the champ. Think he's 23 and we have a bit of rep with lower league players like lunt/kirmond
id prefer to see a signing like this than an old oz croc, we can't keep ozzies fit!

While Robinson is good at hooker, playing there will end his career a lot earlier than playing at 7.
Since he has moved back to scrum-half he has consistantly improved in a lot of areas, one in particular is his kicking game which has taken some pressure off Brough. He also takes the line on a lot more.
Wood is a good back up in the halves and hooker, with him gaining more and more experience as people like Brough and Robinson come into the last few years of their career; resting them between big games and trying to prevent injuries.
If the Giants were to look for anything then I think a specialist hooker to interchange with Lunt, it would take a bit of the work load off him. At the moment we miss him too much when he is injured.

| When 100% Lunt should be playing 80 mins. He did it for Leeds.
I watch the NRL and you very rarely see hookers replaced.
Brearley has said he wants to play super league. I think his first choice would be with Leigh.
I assume every SL team is looking at him. I think we should push the boat out for him!

| To me it's about options. I'm happy with Robbo at 7 and Lunt to play 80mins but the issue for me is that the only back up we have to that is Kyle Wood. While he's a steady replacement he just doesn't look like he's ever going to create competition for places in those positions and that's what I'd like to see.
I'd be just as happy looking for that kind of talent in the Championship as I would be down under.
