I can agree with that. I thought Wane did a lot to damage a lot of players in fairness! I bet bizarre selection philosophy that's been discussed to death. When things are going right, Lewis can be unstoppable. When things are going wrong, he can self-destruct.

The 2 halfback roles are not the same.

Where's Ben going?

KR fans are starting to turn in him now. The amount I've spoken to that can't stand him. He's becoming what Connor was for us in his latter days. There's an excellent player there, but he's going to tank his own career if he doesn't cut the grubbiness out. He's been found out now and it's biting him and his team big time. I was all for him starting for England last year. Wouldn't have him in the squad this year.

Do we know what the rules are this year yet? Are they the same as last year?

I always thought a regional Championship might have been a better way to go for growth considering the limited funds we have as a sport. Finish with a national play off. That ship has sailed now though as we don't have the clubs to sustain it anymore. You can't grow a league without enough clubs, and we seem to be retracting further. We should be encouraging the use of feeder teams to expand the league numbers in my opinion.

That's assuming it's one or the other.

But this is the norm in any business transaction. Their priority is getting the best deal possible for them so they can control what they invest later. I don't get why people seem to think they would just throw away money beyond the actual value? Their involvement is not just human monies.

What figure were you expecting out of interest?

It's not really bonkers. It was a lowball first offer. Feeling out. They'll probably have expected it to be rejected. They'll come back with a better offer and the clubs will probably accept thinking they've forced more money.

Which means he'll get injured in Round 3 and be out for the season.

What I took from that is we must've signed James Tedesco as well...

So what you're saying we shouldn't try and sign the best players we can because the players around them won't be as good? Seems odd.

Kirklees Giants will be announced within a few years to get around some kind of IMG grading no doubt.

Biggest announcement in Huddersfield Giants' history?
