God forbid a player would want to leave a club languishing at the bottom of the table and in danger of relegation to go to a challenge cup winning club!
All RTs fault- nowt to do with stone or Connor- pathetic!!!


dont see how it was stones fault, connor had already signed the deal when stone arrived!

in hindsight the club should have paid to get him out of the hull deal but history now

The reality is our CEO thought he could get away with it because he thought we were entitled to compensation.

The reality is we were not and whoever was dealing with it at Hull FC was more savvy and clever than ours.


We were entitled to compensation.
FC weren’t more savvy - they were more immoral.
If connors birthday has been in, say, March they wouldn’t have been able to do what they did to cheat us out of development money.
But then we know their chairman is a rat.

Sad to say but i don't think Connor would have matured into the player he is now if he had stayed here. He was visibly out of shape here, and just going through the motions. He needed the move to another environment to kick on, as some players do. I am sad that the great talent he has become (and i think he will be an England half for many years) has been lost to us, but i really don't think we would have turned him into the player he is now at Hull. We will however, never know.

Perhaps not- it’s often horses for courses. Some players thrive more under certain coaches or at certain clubs than others.
Look at ferres- steady at Cas, brilliant for us, poor at Leeds.
Gale- mr ordinary most of his career, blossomed later in life at Cas,

I think any utility player or half back to some extent however talented is only as good as the players in the group that he is in.

At Hull he’s had to force his way into the team and compete with Kelly, Snead etc etc and this does tend to focus the mind when you are an ambitious young fella like Jake is/was. He will have been mentored by better players with a higher expectation of what they require from him which again will have improved his game and decision making.

He has ‘natural sass’ a definite requirement if you want to make it at the top level.

If we can take any consolation from this saga it is that we seem to have done a far better job of retaining our current young talent since this and maybe if we do sign Uate, Hastings and a couple of others working within this group with coaching from Woolford, Edwards, Thorman and Robinson means that this type of environment will exist at the Giants and our current talent will thrive like Jake has done at Hull as I don’t think he would have done under Anderson or Stone.

Just so you know Jools, your posts at times are usually blinkered, and naive at best, your missive above is obtuse and clumsy, and to be honest downright personal, shame on you, you disgrace the good name of Huddersfield supporters.

Bless. Just think if he’d have had his way with Ken Davy he’d be in charge of a premier league football team now.
