Vasty : Massive step forward because 1) Huby is a better player than Scruton ( I rated Scruton who was my player of the year for the 2015 season ) and 2) Huby is a miles better option for us than the the work shy fop Anderson. So in my books that represents a massive step forward.
To be honest Vasty if Huby really is available I can see plenty of other clubs would be in for him so would be a real feather in the clubs cap to get such a high quality player to sign.

Not 2 stone overweight. Saw him on Saturday at Cutsyke after we played and he looked lean and fit.
Wearing Giants gear.

Wish we had gone to the Cutsyke game now. Went to Lock Lane V Methley and if the ref hadn't blown time early the Lane would have passed 100 points.

If Huby has slimmed down he'd be a decent signing considering our budget and the market.

Go on then I'll give you that as it sounds fair enough to me.

Huby must have missed a couple of games in 2015 because he dislocated his elbow and was rushed back after about a fortnight to play in the Challenge Cup.

According to below, Huby played 31 SL games and 1 CC game http://www.loverugbyleague.com/stats/players/Craig-Huby/ Last year apart from his broken wrist, he missed a couple of months with a tear to his pectoral muscle . So it's not like he's been out with the same recurring injury, or one for example on the same leg, which is the main thing when looking at injuries imo. Imo he'd be a good signing but I also think that he isn't leaving Hudds, especially after the retirement of Crabtree.

We have pages and pages of signings rumours, we have some members confirming they are ready to be announced, others who question their fitness or even contemplate what they will bring to the team. The problem is that the majority come to nothing, the players stay where they are or move to other clubs.
I suppose desperation demands that all straws are clutched regardless of how unlikely they are.

The speculation and rumours regarding players is going to be quite active as we have two players of our own who's futures are open to speculation.
It helps to pass the long dark nights, rather than just moaning all the time!
