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.

www.examiner.co.uk/huddersfield- ... -26300372/ Seems everyone has picked up on it. Reading between the lines. It seems we need to be planning for the future with some new players coming in.

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.

Nice post wigsey and you're right of course but what I find particularly bad about this is the timing and also the sudden sprouting of various rumours. All of staff possibly leaving, no potential good news at all.

I suspect Nathan Brown leaving is probably inevitable but I would imagine at the end of next season. Holding onto Baloo I would say is much more key. I would think that in a season and a half more he will be a very good head coach.

But once again I can see why he would want to take a head coaches job at a club he knows very well. On the other side of the coin Giants are on the edge of putting together something very special and he may stay around to be part of it.

In any event all of this stuff is for next season. I think it's time to enjoy this season and let the future look after itself. The other cloud hanging over the team does not seem to have affected things and TBH the new rumours about departures should not either.
