Not before time our captain has also left his position only 8 weeks too late this should have happened after he tweeted he was going the night before a big game . I said then that grand final winning captains do not do that see Winfield etc. Cullen said last night on boots and all you need everyone to be going in one direction just to have a chance. Anyway the question is now has Huddersfield giants as an organization learnt anything from this whole debacle if not if it was my millions being poured in I might be also looking to make another key change ie managing director Thoughts giants fans

WOW that is mind blowing. So if it was Ken Davy's decision to stick with the Browns you are saying he should step down from the club!!!

You are the first Giants poster I have seen who has implied such a thing. icon_eek.gif

That is a bit mental

I dont think I was ever convinced by Kev as captain, but over the years he has put in some brilliant performances for us

Think he's on about thewlis. Spoke to a couple of giants player regarding Brett not being offered a new deal befor wire had signed him and that was all down to thewlis. It upset quite a few of the senior pros who in turn thought about their own careers at giants on how Brett was treat. It's one of the strangest decisions that we've made and has bit us on the back side more than once not offering Brett a new contract over 1 year.

You are if you think someone like ken davy does not have the main say re terminating coaches / captains etc. To think otherwise is stupid.

Are you really so simplistic?

Reasons why a player could leave a club that is run well and success is imminent:

* the player is stupid

* the player has a mental health problem

* the player's partner wants to move

* the player has been a sh*t to team mates but his protector is leaving so he gets out quick

* the player is money orientated and someone else offers him more

* the player thinks a wholely artificial surface will be better for his ankles ( icon_lol.gif )

* the player is easily manipulated by his agent

* the player wants to play alongside his mates

* the players wife has fallen out with people and wants a move

* the player has some historic link with his new club

There you are 10 reasons. It is easy enough to come up with 10 more. Though not as easy as jumping to a conclusion that fits your prejudice.

PS I forgot the official Kevin Brown reason:

* the player has had a kid an MUST relocate in Wigan and cannot commute to Huddersfield (that extra 40 miles a day is a killer) _ I think that is the excuse / reason we are expected to swallow.

BH showed us again last Sunday, why he would have been worth a 2 year deal, great bit of business by the MD, I bet KD gave him a big pat on the back for that deal icon_rolleyes.gif

currently exiled abroad , thinking of batemans dark mild and fartown:



my memory of brett going was that many fans , myself included , thought it was a risk giving a bloke his age a 2 year contract .Especially as he had had a few injuries during the season . My memory also tells me we had few complaints about grix at full back last season , or that we were displeased at signing edan . Hindsight is great , unfortunatly you never have it at the right time .

Thats pretty much how I remember it too camraman

Hodgy was a risk that paid off for Wire
Grix was a shockingly good replacement for him and no one missed Hodgy
People were clammering for Eden to be signed on at all costs and IMO he is still the best fullback at the club and has the potential to be one of the best in the game, that potential wont be realised if he isnt playing though

I think they tried to learn the lesson by giving Gilly an extension. That didn't turn out so well. At the end of the day loads of stuff has gone on in the last 3 years that have annoyed a lot of people. A clear out was needed and looks to have started. If it occurs again the club must look at factors that are constants ie Thewlis and take action.

Brett has been great for wire- but I don't think keeping him would necessarily been the best thing for the giants regardless. He has still had a lot of time off the field with various injuries- I think that would have disrupted us more than it has wire. Grix wouldn't have increased in confidence to the point he was at last season and Eden wouldn't have got all the experience he has do far.
