phildog Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Well, 'somebody in the know' says we're going DR again with Giants. If we do can we have an agreement that just might work in our favour? Someone did mention a decent half back there on another thread so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9' oller Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'd plump for it if we accrue Isaac Farrell.

RogerT Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 If I remember correctly the main thing we gained with the Giants was the medical facilities for our players with major injuries, yes we have had some decent players from them McGilvery and Fairbanks for two, I know the club messed up playing Fairbanks in the that play off match that led to that massive spat from Keighley.

distantdog Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hadn't Briggs already said he was leaving them? I think Ridyard is an excellent signing. They are really pushing the boat out for that top 4 place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Thackeray does still have a year left on his contract so he won't just go without compensation, and maybe a fee. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Fev are willing to take the risk of keeping a player on a, presumably, decent salary as back up. They may also have other plans for him. Who knows?

Griffin certainly started as average that season, but (in my opinion) was our most improved player by the end.

That would be silly. What I did say is that I felt he was appalling for us in 2010. The lad couldn't tackle and couldn't keep hold of the ball. He was excellent when he returned four years later.
