"Until a few days ago'? We seem to have known on the Wakey forum for two weeks that he was coming. Knowing a player is not only leaving but knowing his destination too for a fortnight suggests that this was no recent thing.

Earl, will have to put his boots back on. As he was forced to retire he will jump to play again. I told you all on here 3 weeks ago,and Bilko question it, Huby to
Wakey. Had to laugh at Thewlis statement ,how does he get away with his lies ?????

Surely Ken Davy doesn't keep buying it!

Wouldn't be so bad if earl could. He said in an interview the surgery he needed to reconstruct the bridge of his nose required two metal tubes and this would mean any potential collision could cause major trauma. So that's a no go!

Ben Harrison on a 1 year loan deal would be good for the Giants. He was good in the 4 games he played for Trinity last season and is a genuine prop. If you get him and Wakerman then you'll have a competitive pack along with the other props you have....agree with others though Bailey surely is dropping down into the Championship as Mariano has done...

I would rather take Harrison over Bailey any day of the week.

The problem with this is he has got his testimonial with Warrington in January against us. So I presume he will be training with them until then, which means he will have spent all of pre season with Warrington and not us but at least he will be fit.

Unless we sign him and he plays for us against Warrington in his testimonial which benefits all parties. He will get to train with us immediately. He will still get his testimonial and Wire fans can give him a send off.

Cant see if happening though.

i expect to see some signings no doubt its just a shame this mamo deal has hit a glitch

surely the wakeman rumour must come in now!

we got rid of the conditioner this off season and brought someone new in, well done the club for doing this, just a shame davy didnt get rid of thewlis too which i pointed out at the end of last season too should happen.

i dont think signing harrison would be a good one either

getting abit late in the day to be doing deals for players... we would want them in for pre season and settled!

ferguson, clough, gaskell in maybe wakeman and mamo to follow.

dont forget brierley, symonds, ikahihifo and ormsby who came in back end of last season too though

Unless the testimonial is with us because that's who he will be playing for?!

I'd take Harrison. No nonsense forward who has played in some big games and will be on significantly less that crabtree and huby.

It would seem that you had quite a lot of unhappy players' last season that could not be bothered to put the effort in so why single him out.
Can't see where you draw the conclusion even with your vast knowledge of Wakefield Trinity that he would assume by coming to the Trin he would as you expertly put it be thinking he won't have to do as much

I meant this pre-season, under our new coach and conditioner, apparently they have had them really pushing it and Craig struggled to adapt to the extra physical stuff - like i said apparently.

Same old !, get pulled down if you don't follow the trend!
so sad to see what this forum has become

You honestly think that Huddersfield are working harder than all the other clubs just because they have a new coach?

All the clubs will be/have been beasting their players!

The only time Huby won't have to work as hard will be in matches because the prop rotation at Trinity will be greater than that at the Giants.
