Crofton lad living down in OXFORDSHIRE! You probably know me better as GARY!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_78251.jpeg



Quote: vastman "Sorry but I really don’t get how 54 games over a ten year career counts as loads of NRL experience! That’s five games a season.

That makes Crowther a SL veteran!

Sorry but he strike me as exactly one of those players who will take us absolutely nowhere.

Of course I could be wrong but I’d put a fiver on him being anonymous at best.'"


SORRY VASTMAN but as pointed out by ex Trin half ISAAC JOHN - the average NRL player in the NRL makes around 40 appearances in first grade. I get what you are saying but 50+ games in 4 years aint bad going IMO.

Quote: PopTart "I agree.
I find that the Giants have a good recruitment policy compared to many clubs.
Giants have changed coaches and have money so if he came on the recommendation of the last coach you can understand the move.
Plenty of clubs in NRL thought he was worth getting in their team.

If Chester likes him then I'm happy.'"


I fail to see the logic of some on here.

They wet themselves over a thirty + low grade NRL player from the Titans who may or may not be a decent acquisition?

Then balk at the idea of signing a near identical player from Huddd. In fact a player with a somewhat better pedigree, why!

Hudds were relatively poor last season full stop, nobody really shone. Now they have a few players they wish to offload, most clubs do. These players aren’t necessarily poor just not required by the new set up.

Didn’t Hudds offload Huby to us, didn’t that work out very well indeed despite the same people as in this case calling it a mistake.

Personally wish we were signing British but if the story is true then he’s about as good as what’s out there and more importantly he’s already here!

Again I have to ask, who exactly do people think a small cash poor SL club in the North of England are going to attract?

If your going down the overseas route this guy is about as good as we are going to get. There maybe better available but it’s pure speculation and opinion there are no stand outs in our budget.

Unless CC can pull a rabbit out of the hat, it’s happened before, not that he gets any credit, then this is it. Reality check.

Quote: FIL "Why brings Leeds into the equation ???
Although I realise you're having a laugh there is a grain of truth in it. That stadium re-build seemed to drain Leeds and although they have still won stuff they are a shadow of the team they once were, especially in recruitment terms.

In fact, I struggle to think of a club that didn't dip when they sorted their grounds out whether that be moving or redevelopment.

Warrington and Hull maybe?

Wigan, Saints and Leeds definitely did.

It's going to be a challenge for us, assuming, of course, it actually happens.

Still, on the plus side we don't have anywhere near as far to drop icon_lol.gif

Gavet was 31 in October not 32 as reported....Not identical player Gavet played prop for his flengthy 75 game NRL career whereas Pulu played second row for his 45 games from what I've read.

Think if Gavet has settled in UK he'd be good for a season long loan if he can be squeezed within the cap..think he's an upgrade on Tangata with the level he's played at...

I would certainly say he's an upgrade on Tangata, no disrespect intended to him.
I guess the cost does come in to it but assuming we can afford him think he'll be ok.
