Was that so ridiculous given the options?

There were huge question marks around the possibility of Peet taking over with many people preferring someone with more experience.

Whilst Peet had been very good to date, his success has proved a surprise to some of our own supporters.

Ian Watson is quoted in League Express as saying that Owen Trout has rejected a new contract because other clubs "are throwing money at him". Are we one of the throwers do you think?

The size of Giants squad is doing them no favours in my opinion.

Got great depth but no top quality and clearly players who are in the squad can get market value else where.

It’s all relative I guess but “throwing money” from a Huddersfield position is probably just market value for other clubs.

Is Watson the new Powell , he seems like a right miserable git and always moaning.

He has a team laiden with talent, that he seems to have stifled the life out of too

It screams the words ‘found out’ at the minute. Talk of his assistants at Salford being the main reasons for the success and looking at Rowley at Salford, it doesn’t shock you. He’s dropped McGillvary publicly today, calling him out and saying all the players need to be team first. His style of rugby is absolutely dire and has to be boring to be a part of.

Yes I do remember. That's the reason why us fans pay money to sit in the stands and trust the process and decisions made by IL and KR. A lot of the time (not always of course) it pays off.

Eckersley's loan at Widnes extended by another month, makes sense with Thornley back in the picture
