| I'm don't pretend to be in the know but if all is true which from reading the board it looks like a done deal to Wire. This can only be unsettling for the player the team and the fans.
I am very disappointed that he could be off, as he is world class but if the club will only offer him a 1 year extension as led to believe and he has been offered a better deal else where then it's up to the player to decide.
It is going to leave a big hole and the question on everyone's lips is can Cudjoe do the job full time at FB?
One more thing I would like to add..it is still April why on earth has this come out now? Who has leaked this info? ...Shocking!
Rumours of Nathan going..Rumours of Baloo going..Rumours of Brett going..How do I feel? Sick.

This is all very, very unsettling and something has gone very wrong in terms of keeping these things private at either the Wire end or here. It wont be doing the Wire set up all that much good but seeing as it's our end where all the departures seem to be hinted at, and plenty of them to various places, then it is safe to say it will be doing us far worse.
Not good. We need to have some positive announcements where possible asap IMO. It wont take much for the good work to be undone, our fickle fans soak up the bad news far easier than the good.

You know my views on McGilvary which appear to be echoed by some Barrow fans which is he is good going forward but is suspect in defence.
If his defence is suspect in NL1 then i think it would be a liability in SL. Maybe he will develop further and can improve that side of his game. He is still young. I am sure the coaching staff will judge that . So therefore i will disagree with you without the crazy sign.

Unfortunately you are right. The difficulty is that we will find it hard to announce any signings now as that would mean compromising someone elses circumstances at another club.
As hard as it is we just need to hope that the players say to themselves lets win something before this team breaks up.

| I was thinking more along the lines of saying baloo going nowhere, Nathan definitely here next season, Kev Brown going nowhere. Christ, Brett signs extension if it turns out the deal is not done.
We can make these announcments and not have that affect any other club as these are our staff.

Now you can see what unwanted negative publicity does to our club!
We are 4th in table and into the next round of the CC and have a fantastic squad.
Now it feels like it's going to pot!

| I just don't understand how we could allow for this to happen, especially at this time of the season.
There is so much time for negotiation left. Why is it apparently all over with Brett? It makes no sense.

I can tell you something I don't want Mathers.

| Mathers and "highly rated" just don't go in the same sentence.
The Examiner somehow has the cheek to try it though.

| If you read Mathers on Twitter, it's obviously unsettled the lad. I feel for him, regardless of anyones' opinion of Mathers game he's a diamond geezer and will have an affect on the team morale.

I'd have thought Kings "Storm 07" tattoo may have more an effect on morals.

| Where has this all come from?.
I have read the boards but if Brett Hodgson goes he has gone down in my estimation. I know I am biased but why would he want to go to Warrington?. I know they are higher in the league and ..........what exactly?.
Is this a case of the Warrington owner throwing his money around again?.......is he going for one last pay day................if so be off with you!...quite frankly. Not knocking the bloke as everyone has to look after himself but honestly - maybe NB is going to leave which has prompted this discussion. Why on earth the club didnt extend his contract when he was announced Man of Steel beggars belief but then again he is at the back end of his career but CLASS has no age limit.
Ritchie Mathers - NO THANKS! - WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST SECOND BEST.
NOT IMPRESSED!

| If I were in Brett's shoes I would be asking myself what is my position within the Giants organisation since the coach has made it clear who he believes is most important with regards to playing personnel. But I'm not Brett and I have no idea what is happening behind the scenes.

| Brett has done a good job for Giants but is clearly getting older and more prone to injuries. I can understand the club not wanting to offer him a two year contract.I can also understand why he wants one (as did Gilmour and Long at Saints).
This season he has had more and more knocks and to be honest Giants have played very well in games he has not played in.
Cudjoe is a great prospect at Full back and so is Elliot Hodgson. The Giants are a team and no one player leaving will unduly inconvenience them.
Mathers for me would be a poor signing and I don't see why he is being linked with this if Brett is going at the end of his contract.
ATEOTD if Brett does go there will be more salary cap to buy a decent centre and a decent winger. Those positions are where we are very light on cover.
