| Quote fartown since 1961="fartown since 1961"The brave Tickle and equally brave Yeaman both targeted Luke Robinson to run at and came a cropper with head bumps not foul play. Luke is respected for tackling blokes twice his size and not shirking.
The Hull hard men of the front row Lynch and Radford also targeted LR as Manu targeted Danny Brough but sometimes size ain't everything. I have a lot of respect for Hulls performance today don't spoil it seeing demons where there aren't any !!!!!!!'"
You've posted this same rubbish on several threads now. You clearly have no idea about how RL is played. Have a think about where poor little defenceless Luke Robinson was defending and where those players where playing. Then watch who Crabtree spent most of the match running at, here's a clue it was our smallest player as well. Get a grip.

Doubt it. Just brought Pitts and Radders in, and we should have some players returning in the next couple of weeks.

Probably a good thing he is not a hull player from your pov.
I think most Giants fans would disagree with you. LOD is very likely our best forward - in a very good pack. The Giants are a better team when he is in the 17.

As my point was that LOD brings a lot to the Giants and is not a mere fighter your response is irrelevant, so you can go on as much as you like.

Yea wasn't sure if we had and de-registering might not be a bad idea if he aint back this season.

Assuming AP is willing to pay both Heremaia and a replacement to the same salary. Until the fans respond more positively to his obvious investment and start getting themselves to matches for £19, I'd be reluctant to do this if I were him, unless someone very special becomes available.

Understand what you are saying but looking at the games coming up i can see us sliding down the table and thats not going to endear floating support.

| On a 'glass half full' basis, whilst our current injury list is very dispiriting and may well lead to defeats in our upcoming games against strong opposition and an early exit from the cup, in the context of the season overall it may well be better to be playing these at best 50/50 win/lose games now rather than fixtures against teams we would reasonably expect to beat.
IMO we can target a top 6 finish if we continue to win 80% plus of our games against teams outside the top 6 and to date we have won 7 from 8.

Fair point. If money were no object the opportunity to deregister Heremaia would be a great one assuming there was quality in the market to bring in.
It's a bit chicken and egg in terms of what the club and fans are doing. Pearson's take some bold steps to try and get momentum going. Put the cleaners through the back room staff. Invested in youth facilities. Brought in Lynch and Gareth Ellis. Held the price of passes. Made match day tickets available for £19.
The response, given where we were a few years ago, must be disappointing to him so far. Recession is one factor, but the recession is not a localised phenomenon and others seem to be seeing upturns in crowds. AP can't be any clearer about the importance of returning crowds but gates I imagine are behind his expectations. Does he spend another, say, £90k on a player to replaced Heremaia, when to re-coup that in this season would need about another 1000 on the gate each week? Not sure I would.
