We'll the mini bus is almost full, there's 6 of us plus a possible 3 more who will have to hang off the roof

Hey what about us two???? I'm gutted we are kid free and the funbus is full for sunday!

Now then, who is talking Balony? While I would agree that we are not better in every single position, with the exception of Smith all your examples have me thinking, no I wouldn't swap:

The two props- Poore I don't know much of but hear he was (ahem) poor v Bradford and stupidly sent off v Leeds. Amor is a worthy opponent but I prefer Fielden, Kopczak and Eorl. Different skill set to Patrick but Larne is a bit of a change up which I like.

Kirmond - you are having a laugh, great going forward, suspect defensively, particularly later in games (50-60 onwards) and was shipped out to make room for Jason Chan who nobody at Giants would swap for Danny.

Aiton? Again a hard opponent, might be on a par with Fooey, but without the step but not as good as Lunt or Robbo (whom I have taken the liberty of moving back to hooker as you are so keen on giving us Smith).

There are certainly a few of your players I would select in a composite team, at least 6 or 7 in a 19 man squad, but you need to consider the strengths of both squads in each position.

Ok, so Amor is better than Eorl, Poore better than Fielden, Aiton better than Lunt and Kirmond hasn't twice failed to take his chance at Giants.

Are you Steve McBanana?

Did I say that, I said they would be of interest if available.

Having said that Poore and Fielden no contest, Poore will frighten the living daylights out of Fielden because most people do since Willy got him.

That's a really pathetic jibe at Kirmond who gave you great service, how typical.

Who is Poore by the way ?? did you not sign him in the off season ? if so then he was available but Anderson obviously wasn't interested as he signed Fielden and Kopzcak instead of him so that blows your theory straight away !!

Why would we be interested in players who aren't as good as the ones we currently have IF they were available ? granted the names you mentioned would be decent squad players but nothing more !!

Actually yes you did say that. Stop your blustering wipe the spittle from your mouth and think it through. Your comment was in response to my initial post where I said man for man our squad was better. You said it wasn't and gave the names of players who you said were better. no one denied we would have some of those players at our club at all.
No good backtracking and pretending the debate was about something it wasn't because we've put names against yours and you've been found out. I was going on basic squad numbers 8 for 8 etc.

You said they would make our first team. Now you have changed and are saying they would be of interest. Squad players then? Which doesn't do much to dispel the original claim that we were better man for man right across the team (a point I disagree with).

Your examples are wrong other than Smith over Robbo. I don't think Anderson would be interested in any of the players listed, apart from Smith. He may be interested in Raleigh, but as an extra prop style loose forward, he also doesn't seem convinced by Luke George so may be interested in your wingers or Collis.

So there are five that hypothetically we may be interested in. Other than Smith your five that would make our team actually would most likely not, good players though some of tham are.

and as ever the wakefield and huddersfield fans getting along again

on another note silverwood is reffing, good ref for us, and cant be any worse than the last two we have had childs and hicks

The fact that Anderson wasn't interested because he didn't sign Poore is pure speculation, I could quite easily speculate that it was due to the fact you needed 2 props and couldn't fit superstar Poore +another under the cap.

PS is George going to be likely to be playing against us? He scuppered my fantasy team last week by not playing - selfish sod!

toss up between him and murphy... on last weeks showing murphy will keep his place. depends what team anderson feels will get the win

To be honest think George might have to sit out a few games as Murphy did well after a shakey start on Sat and can see him getting a run in the team especially as most of our attacking is through the middle and Murphys decent defence outweighs Georges pace and attacking flare at the moment.

Sorry

1-17 the giants squad is better on paper

I certainly wouldn't swap a single one - and I'm a big fan of Raleigh and Kirmond personally
