That one set was the one where he got absolutely creamed by the Catalan pack, got up took another drive and got smashed two plays later, then made himself available for a third time, the Catalan pack all focussed him and we passed behind him for Mellor to score, take a bow young man. Probably too brave for his own good but he's got iron in his veins.

This obsession with size is interesting...we have to get the right player...big doesn't automatically mean good.. seen quite a few "big" players over the years who haven't played to their size yet some smaller ones outshine them....i.e Matty English now. By the way..v Catalans last game one set he took the ball in 3 times...I'm sure we had other forwards on the pitch they need to learn / be told to share the work!!

This is true- look at the big wakey pack who were owned by our much smaller one twice in a row. It needs to be used correctly.

catalans threw it away last time with their discipline

the pack win the game, the backs decide by how much!

Absolutely love us to get Eastmond but we don't have a chance in hell of getting him. Hes from Saddleworth though and mates with Jordan Turner, so I hear.

Judging by Woolford's comments on the Jackson Hastings pull out news item, i would assume they are bringing over a young Aussie half. “It's naturally a disappointment that we won't be seeing Jackson in a Giants shirt in the forseeable future but as one door closes it gives an opportunity for someone else to step in and we are very close now to making a major move with a lad that’s keen to come over and make a difference for us." The way he talks about one door shutting and another opening and referring to a 'lad' to me doesn't mean he was talking about the Matagi deal but about another young Aussie half. I very much hope this to be the case anyway. I was majorly hyped about the Hastings signing and am really disappointed we didn't get him because a quality half back is a major, major requirement and they don't come along often.

To be fair he seems to have a good idea on the areas we need to improve on, and they are the players he is wanting to get not just random players because they become free like previous years.
