Reported today and repeating what I said in an earlier post above, something has to give as there is a lot of unrest at the Giants at the minute and it is not just Brough either

But a source tells us that the conflict is between Brough and coach Paul Anderson. The two strong-willed characters don’t see eye to eye, with Brough losing the captaincy and a recent sin-binning against the Airlie Birds not helping matters. If the Giants’ losing run continues, one of them will surely be leaving the John Smith’s Stadium this season.

That could well be near the mark, We shall have to wait and see.

The one thing we can say with a fair amount of certainty is that with the exception of Brough, and possibly Gerry all our players have gone backwards individually under Mr Andersons coaching. We can assume they have not made a collective deliberate decision to do that . So where do you start to look for the answer. Or are we saying that whatever the reasons for the present situ they are nothing to do with the coach, and everything to do with the players not doing what he tells them to do.

Benji Marshall is allegedly looking for a new club....

From what I heard at the time of Ferresgate, Brough said that if Ferres didn't leave then he would. The interaction between those 2 in the game at Headingley certainly wasn't amicable. Related?

I've also heard one or two things about Wardle.

I hear a lot from two different sources close to the club and it's not about being proved right. I just care and hate to see what is happening and the stories I hear coming out of the club are not good.

I loved the togetherness at the club in seasons gone by and we were the envy of many for it.

Who needs to go and what needs to happen I don't know, I know one thing though, Davy does not deserve what is happening on and off the field. All that will be achieved is even smaller crowds, players who want to leave and others who don't want to come and all the progress we have made over the years will be gone.

It is disappearing as we speak. Maybe a spell in the lower levels would sort the club out, Get rid of some prima donnas, both on and off the field, Start from the bottom up again, as it were . We have no super stars to worry about losing.
It could be a long hard grind, Just a thought.

What's all the negative talk about. Do you really think a season or two at the lower level will improve your club. Relegation a million miles away and even if you are involved in the M P G (and I doubt you will be) it gives you the opportunity to build for next season. I have no idea of the goings on at your club but from what I have seen of you on the t v you don't seem to be that far off. Most teams are capable of putting a run of good results together and with the regular season only half way through your chance will come.

if all the players were unhappy and not willing to work for each other then we would be seeing blowout scores

like a 62-0

True enough, We are not getting slaughtered.

I don't think we will get relegated, I was just pointing out that it would not necessarily be the end of the world, and could be a chance for a new start "was it to happen " That would very much depend on Mr Davy.

We look pretty much nailed on to be middle 8, and if that was a straight knockout I would be very worried, but on the system we have I think we should be comfortably in the top 4. Still not happy with the way things are though.

Thankyou "lampyboy", it takes a supporter from another club to talk some sense here and proverbally knock some negative heads together. I know from talking to some of the players that dont share some some negative drivell thats spouted on here, lets hope they never do!!

That was a virus that caused that score.

Believe all is well down there if you wish, but it's not, the difference is plain to see. It does not mean when you are not playing for a coach or there is a lot of unrest you will throw games by 60 points, it just mean you are not as together and as motivated, team spirt is severely affected and it shows on the field, no one is saying they are throwing games intentionally. It happens in football all the time and in other sports, when they lose respect for the coach or there is little team spirit, performances plummet.

We did not see blow out scores in the reign of John Sharpe until Catalans away, but the players hated him, he thought he was billy big balls and they stopped playing for him, what happened the year after he left, we were a different team. That all came from E.C mouth to me, anyone who knows him can ask him, but it's a well known fact anyway.

I hope I am wrong and they turn into world beaters again, but I won't hold my breath.

Well let's hope it shows tonight because the negative drivel on here is pretty much the same as we are seeing on the pitch it would dry up if there was some light at the end of the tunnel and we played a proper 'Giants' 80 mins tonight as in previous seasons

there has been more blow out scores in sl this season, i used the 62-0 as just a point
