Luke Dorn would have been the worst signing the Giants had ever made.
An ageing Aussie who was never any good in the first place and has woeful defence.
His English career no consists of 2 spells at London, 20 at Cas and one at Salford.

124 tries in 200 games is a cracking record though. Playing for those teams too!

Would have liked to see him here. Seems to have really upped his performances this year'"
I couldn't see amor coming to giants. He was especially scathing about our club on twitter at the end of last season when Lunt won the GF with Leeds. Certainly doesn't hold us in high regard.

| I have to say that the Lunt to Leeds rumour keep rearing its ugly head. A number of different people have heard it too - both Giants and Leeds fans.
Hope there's nothing in it

| Perhaps Grix is unhappy at all the negative stick he gets from some of the fans. Chap sitting behind me blames Grix no matter who drops the ball. IMO scott Grix is no worse than others in the team and I really hope this rumour is completely unfounded.

Count the amount if ex Wakefield players in the Salford and saints team and then count how many you have. If you need a calculator I have a choice of a few you can borrow?

Count the amount of ex hudds players you've had in your squad this season then subtract the difference.

We didn't come hunting for your players they signed for us when surplus to requirements by Huddersfield. The Kirmond one didn't turn out to be the right decision though.

| Why not?
You may also find its about balancing the books with skill levels. Good players cost more money and there's a salary cap to stay below.

| Certain folk love to lay claim to developing players unaware of the fact that they didn't. Murphy was at Leeds before Wakey, for example. The reality is that many players spend time at various clubs but ultimately the player has as much responsibility for their development as any club. You can have all the talent in the world but without application it'll get you nowhere.
Unfortunately some people don't seem capable of comprehending this basic concept.

We don't force you to take out leftovers any more than it works the other way.
Wouldn't swap ferres or chan for kirmond so for us it still was the right decision. I'm glad he's getting the opportunity in your side though, and certainly don't begrudge you having him....... Now there's the difference.

| Ferres went to Cas from Wakey before joining us but they still count him as a wakey player
George started at the Giants and went to wakey but they still count him as a wakey players
Surprise surprise players move clubs. They often move to new employers who are not too far away so they dont have to travel much like taking different jobs in West Yorkshire

And the ones we got from Wakey obviously wanted to play for us hence they signed for us ...we didnt force them to !
