Quote: keefie "Come on folks, get real!!

If. at the start of the season , we were offered third place in the league and one point off top spot, we would have bitten their arm off.

We had one bad game against the Dragons, a game that, in my opinion, should never have been played, given what was at stake, or at least been delayed until the problem with the fuse box had been sorted.

I have renewed for both of us and also have got an upgrade, just to show loyalty to a club that has had my support for nigh on sixty years, and will have for as long as I live.'"


Quite right 3rd in the league, joint second without points difference, very close to taking the LLS again. I would say that is a very successful season. The Grand final just depends on 2 or 3 games at the end of the season, it can be won by a team finishing in 8th place, that must be false, surely the champions are the ones that finish top after 27 rounds. The Grand final is just an up market Challenge cup comp at the end of the season for SKY.
Too many of us are getting like Leeds, Warr, Wig, Saints fans and believing it is our right to be winning trophy`s. Let us just be thankful we are still not in the dark days when anything above the bottom 2 or3 was the norm.

Yes, let's be grateful we aren't as sh*t as we used to be....

HUDDERSFIELD - THE BIRTHPLACE OF RUGBY LEAGUE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_43854.jpg



releasing odonnell early from his massive contract paid for the mason case, think we let some players go out on loan at the time too to bulls and wakey, thats passed now

the extra money from sky helps ken davy from bankrolling so much and prob helps renew contracts of our younger players which will be getting bigger salaries.. and huby who wont come cheap on 4yrs.. some big players contracts up next season

grix got in first with his 2yr deal!

Why give players approaching 30, long contracts . Some of them have not set last season alight and the Club seem to be very generous. Could we have a statement from the Club explaining the thinking as too why 3&4 years have been given and too who.

Huby 4yr deal, in his prime for a prop and one of the hottest properties in SL. probably wouldnt have got him if we offered less than 4 yr deal

wardle, cudjoe,mcgillvary and lawrence to name a few been given long term deals, dont see any problem with that as long as they dont become complacent ... maybe they do though but i think we would lose them if we just gave 2yr deals

Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua Of he who was made God in a world without Hope. And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say? Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say "Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war":

No because it's none of our business.

It's KD's business he can do what he likes with it. If he wants to give Eorl an 18 year contract that's nothing to do with anyone else.

Is that why Stuart Fielden lost his coaching job to cut costs? The MD and the 007 should have resigned in shame. Poor Ken having to pay for poor decisions of management. Well some think that's acceptable ???

Given that was KD's statement issued after the conclusion of the Mason case I don't think he feels anyone at the club did anything wrong.

Perhaps it was his methods rather than saving money that cost him his job!

I dont think anyone sees that as acceptable.

Virtyually everyone on here thought Mason had been treat badly and was fully supportive of him and his case.

Glad you siad 'virtually'.

Without wanting to drag up the whole affair again, what Mason did was totally unacceptable.
