You just love to our words in my mouth- funny since I usually have enough of my own.
Nowhere have I scapegoated brierley- made an observation his Wakefield games were his poorest for us- played well against Wigan- but lost out to grix to illnes ar Magic.
I don't dislike Murphy- he's a solid played- but no match winner and few other SL teams would have him in their squad. He's the kind of hard worker all teams need as a squad player.

Sometime replacement for Brough maybe Code?

ah jake connor the young talent thats is in no doubt that he has loads of skill but has yet to find his best position , is that bad management?

not our problem anymore i suppose, hope it doesnt come back to bite us

but i couldnt put him in out starting 17 next season anyway, murphy to centre and ormsby on the wing im happy with

talk of compensation which would help soften the blow for giants if it can be classed as a blow

wondered how long some fans would give brierley at full back before saying hes no good in that position

new to super league and playing in a new positon, said it when we signed him , give him time. best get used to it anyway as he will be a giants for a long while now.

as for murphy im sure every sl club would have him in their squad, like lawrence who had his knockers he is one of the first players on the team sheet

You have to question the motives of the Hull board on this. They are claiming they haven't actually signed him yet but he's agreed to go at the end of the season (to get out of paying a fee) fair enough if that's the case. So why if he hasn't actually signed have they already announced this deal? A deal that's none binding as he's signed nothing. This weekend of all weekends? this announcement could have been made at any time but they chose the day funeral announcements were made for Ronan. Pretty low from all involved. Connor included.

Murphy is absolutely not a centre

so sacking your coach isn't bad timing? think using this poor lad as a tool to have a pop at hull fc and connor is really really low,

Yes sacking our coach was really bad timing. IMO it shouldn't have been done when it was. One poor decision doesn't justify another.

Back on subject:
He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer is Conner! He needed the signing on fee to get himself a new Merc!!

If I read the statement correctly it said when questioned Connor admitted he had already signed a deal which basically means he has dropped Hull in a right mess and presumably the Giants receive suitable compensation.

Not sure of your issue here. I think he has had some good games at centre.

if you go on our board about his signing, its all explained, pre contract agreement signed, all done and dusted

It seems to me that by the rules neither Hull or Jake Connor have done anything wrong.

To reject our offer and accept a better one from what the 'Hull' fans call a bigger club is disappointing but that's life and Jake and his agent have done what Jake apparently wanted and secured a move away from Huddersfield.

The 'heads of agreement' (deal in principle) is used in commerce all the time and of course you can understand Hull not wanting to pay a fee for a player 'club trained' by Huddersfield a major benefit in a sport with an oversea player quota. As our academy improves as it is doing it will no doubt occur again but is a sign that we are moving forward in producing home grown players.

The sad thing for me is that by announcing this now Hull have in effect destabilised the rest of Connors time at our club as the fans and club will see him as disloyal for the manner 'he' not Hull appears to have gone about engineering this move.

The heads of agreement is a statement of 'hands off our player' their announcement of he's signed is deliberately misleading to avoid late competition for his signature or someone driving up the price. You can't blame them for trying.

For a club that has been tight lipped about rumours of a 'rift' between some of its players and coach Thewlis's outburst goes very much against the clubs character which gives one the impression that they thought Jake would stay and this outburst by Thewlis's is one of either disappointment/petulance or the clubs way of saying that we didn't want to let him go which lays this firmly on Jake's doorstep.

For me it's not the time to 'throw our toys out of the pram' but use Jake if we need him due to injuries or form loss as we are paying his wages but I wouldn't play him if other players were to be fit.

It really leaves two schools of thought either Jake is mercenary or the rumours of unrest in the camp have an element of truth in them or an element of both is true but if it is the latter some of the comments about the sacking of Anderson being unfair and too soon would appear wide of the mark and unfair on the club.

If I were to speculate it's probably Jake feeling he's been held back and clashing with Anderson and deciding his long term future lies elsewhere.

Unfortunately for him 'the cats been let out of the bag' and he's got an uncomfortable couple of months ahead.

For the club it probably feels let down hence the reaction by Thewlis but I'm afraid that's probably about been 'done up like a kipper' by a smart piece of business by Hull who if Jake and his agent approached them as is likely how can you blame them ??
