There as to be a reason.

From what people are saying, offering embarrassing offers to the kids will be why.

Micheal Lawrence

Andy Raleigh

Jacob Fairbank etc...

products of the giants and youth system and more to follow

we have lost our own youngsters in times gone by when we were bottom or super league and relegated

chris bridge springs to mind

He may be from Huddersfield but he isn't a product of the club as he came via Sheffield and HKR. Bridge is from Oldham.

We did this to death at the time, but don't be trying to kid anyone on - you didn't 'give' Griffin and Johnson to us - they were released, probably to make room for Ferguson, a player you obtained in a way that still sticks in the craw. And we're talking about fringe players, one of whom was and still is facing a lengthy stretch in the big house.

Korkidas is still on your books I believe - on permanent loan as part of the Brough 'deal.'

Some facts are always useful in a discussion like this.

Griffin is a Wakefield Academy player who went to Hudds then came back.

Jackson, Hudson & Snitch are all Wakefield products I think? Jones & Aspinwall from the Wigan setup & Fozzard from Leeds. Kyle Wood is a product of Castleford junior rugby but not sure where he served his academy years.

I don't think there are any Huddersfield products in the Castleford squad.

Any the Giants aren't doing anything wrong by the way, it's good to see them investing in young English players, it'd just be nicer if we could keep ours at our club but that's our problem, not yours.

Jackson & Hudson are Huddersfield academy products.

bridge was from our academy though, we arent talking about places of birth.. raleigh played for hudds before both sheff and hkr.

anyway, think most players have links with alot of clubs nowadays so harsh to single our hudds.

There are many reasons...

Re: Greg Eden : Tue Sep 06, 2011 2:06 pm  

i hear he has been treated in a very shoddy manner over the past 12months by people at cas .

Re: Greg Eden : Tue Sep 06, 2011 3:24 pm  

young player with potential but he was no superstar, the 2 games i saw him play his defence was awful , stayed out when he should have come in, came in when he should have stayed out, total fish out of water could't read any situation right and looked like he had never been coached how to.

he played for 2 years in the academy whilst at Newcastle Uni, was told he was too old for the club to take on (aged 21) by a club official so went to Sheffield.
