Tell ya what Vastman ...that's a cracking post and sums up our 'rivalry' perfectly !!

jesus, never thought i'd say that about one of yours !!

And you wont find one Giants fan that supported the RFL's decision to keep us in SL when it was plainly obvious to anyone we werent ready for it .....best thing they did do was eventually let us go down so we could regroup as a club and come back stronger which i think everyone agrees we did !.

Not one fan i know was happy to be kept up year after year it made a mockery of our sport at the time !.

thank you, at last some humility. See you on Sunday and have a good game (and go easy on us !)

rubbish. complete rubbish.

where were the protests banners asking to be sent down? where were they?

That's interesting to see your perspective on that.
BUT I'd also say, whether it was the RL or Huddersfield themselves, or a particular person like Davey or Smith that changed things.....one thing is certain they have definitely changed.

Huddersfield is constantly quoted as having a professional and good quality set up. That was not built on history of success with club and youngsters like Leeds, Wigan and Saints, it had to be created.
I hope we do something similar.

Ken Davy had a hell of a lot to do with it off the field as he financed the team in the NFP season when we did go down - and also the 1st stint we had in super league, and Tony smith was the coach who got the winning mentality back into our club.
Ironic really cos the year we did go down was the best we'd had performance wise and a lot of peoplw said at the time we were actually too good to go down when we did .

you guys are going through a similar thing to us IE rebuilding the club from the bottom...it does take time but is a lot more appreciated when it does come good !!

Think if shudders has a local rival as we have with Cas it should be Halifax, Calderdale and Kirkless seem to be rivals in all aspects

It is Halifax traditionally but we have been in seperate divisions for the best part of 35 years so not had much of a rivalry with them when we were crap they were doing ok and vice versa now !!

I just don’t get this pseudo rivalry with Huddersfield.

In recent years it’s been with Cas, simply because we’re both very mediocre, before that it was always Leeds.

Page after page of sniping with a club that’s as removed to us, as say Warrington.

Fact is, they have a better team than us, they have a better Coach than us, they have a richer backer than us, however, their Coach will soon be on his way, their team will fragment & their backer will die.

Hopefully, our squad will improve & Newmarket gets built, crowds improve & we don’t have to rely on a Sugar Daddy.

Harsh!

But true.

Will be interesting to see if the money carries on for long at Huddersfield. I am sure constant shelling out and no silverware to show for it will take it toll at some point. Wasn't Glover persuaded to buy us by his Daughters? If so if he decides to take a back step they would like to carry on the good work he's been doing (but this is well down the track of course)
