| Hats off to the players & coaching staff over the last two games, especially the Catalans game, nobody gave us a chance - including me with how things have been going but that was a tremendous result.
Followed it up with a comprehensive result against Wakefield who have just been on a massive high after beating Leeds Rhinos & Wigan Warriors.
Having Jerry back has made a massive difference for me, he's just a beast of a player, takes the pressure off the forwards making those hard yards when coming in off the wing, his wing play is fantastic & its a joy to see him back in Fartown colours, I just hope he can stay injury free now, earn that 1 year contract for next year - imagine having Jerry & Swift as our wingers next year!
Now rest those bodies up, we've a massive game in 2 weeks live on Sky Sports vs Hull FC

| We could have Billy Boston and Martin Offiah as our wingers next year and we would still be woeful with our current spine. Theo Fages is going, who when he has played has been by far the best half. Go look at the stats for Olly Russell on the superleague site:
Tries : 0
Try assists 1:
Clean Breaks : 0
Average gain: 2.9 metres per carry
This is a half back watson thinks is a mainstay of our side, and i haven't seen any moves to sign others. A guy who simply tips the ball on to the player outside him or inside to a forward and puts the odd kick in. Add Milner and Peats to the mix and nothing is going to change here. Wow we have beaten Wakefield twice and Castlefield twice and admittedly got two good wins against Catalans all year. We are totally and utterly knackered for the foreseeable future in my opinion, and we don't even have quota spots available to make any changes.
Listening to what Watson said post match i would imagine that McQueen is going to be leaving at the end of the year too which continues our run of losing our best player at ehe nd of every year (last year it was Leutele and Levi and before that Edwards and Sezar).
Sorry but i find it very difficult to have any enthusiasm at all for the hole i see that we are in due to our horrible recruitment and drubbing championship wakefield doesnt change my mind

He isn't - he is signing on again with Canberra

I had a moan when it was going crap but I was also the 1st to acknowledge that the staff & players had turned it round.
Another win tonight against a Cas team who imo will be the team to be relegated - regardless of the loan signing of Austin.
Huge credit to young Sam who came in for heavy criticism from our own coach with a fine hat trick tonight.
That's 4 wins on the trot for the Giants - we'llsee how far we've come next Sunday when we play Saints away.

| I am happy that the team have shown spirit and turned it around, but i am not going to suddenly change my mind on the lack of quality in our spine. Connor is now playing well and combinging with Lolohea well, as i've said on the Cas thread i think this run will continue for a while yet, but will fizzle out when we play quality sides who want it as much as we do due to that lack of quality, would love to be proved wrong

| looks like a lot of rebuilding been done for next season. i am hearing we have signed
Adam Swift
Andre Savellio and
Adam Clune
These are all decent players in positions that do need strengthening
i expect a lot of outgoings though with all of the below possible going
Mcgillvary
Pryce
Thages
O Brien
Jones
Trout
Ashworth
Mason
Ikahifho
McQueen
Of all those i would most like to see McQueen sign for 1 more year

I believe Ikahihifo signed a new 2 year deal last year, he's one I'd definitely keep, his impact off the bench is huge for us.

| Clune looks a decent playmaker, partnered with Lolohea and with Connor at fullback thats a lot of the spine sorted. Nine is still a problem, Clune doesn't look like a running threat, so there is still no running threat in the middle of the park, would love us to sign someone with some pace or ability to break the line from the ruck. Look at what Ipape has done for Leigh this year. Nonetheless i'm happy we seem to have acquired a better standard of half than we currently have.

Imagine having Levi in that team, he'd be superb but sadly its not meant to be.

Aussie half back who plays for Newcastle Knights. It is rumoured he has signed for the Giants despite interest from Leeds and Hull.

Who's the Knob now? Being impressed with missing the playoffs and losing to the vast majority of teams at home despite having the most resources available to any coach certainly since Nathan Brown would see most coaches sacked by now. All this on the back of 'We will regularly be competing with Saints'. Amazing how little our fans expect, a few wins against bottom of the table sides and you got excited. We are a poor side, that lacks pace has no decent hooker and a shocking half back combination. We are where we deserve to be in the league and it is one man's fault.
