Seems that Brierley wanted to go so club had little choice really - seems we have enough players who don't want to be at the club already given the standards of performance???

think he just wanted to play love to go back 12 months as a club we where in better shape just needed a new coach now its a coach and a full team how bad can things get

1. It would appear , if they looked in the mirror that possibly they are the reason they want away perhaps?



2. I would presume someone has asked them WHY? WELL HOPE!

Would imagine the why is cause we are losing every week...

Is Farrell injured?

No No he just had to go, He didn't turn out to be a miracle player, Unlike our contingent from the Bulls, not to mention some of our highly rated Aussie stars.



He had bags of pace, and he was the only player we had who was even likely to back up, but that's not so easy from the stand, Still he was here 6 months, more than enough time for him to turn us around, must have had all of 15 games i would think.

We have players who we have persevered with for season on season, Some we have offloaded as not good enough and then re-signed, A regular feature at times.



We have a great coaching team, that's obvious by the quality of our game and our lofty position in the league, and most of them are Giant through and through we are told, so the problem with Brierley must have been brierley . On yer bike mate, ya can't fool us.

Not Brierleys fault he could not tackle, pass, organise a defence, make anything off his own back, bring players into a game. At least all Ellis could not do was tackle



Dropping 2 divisions probably puts him at his correct level, and shows his lack of ambition/confidence in his own ability.



Good in a dominant team, useless where he has to take responsibility

but was brierley allowed to take any responsibility?



sergeant brough would be on the case big time if any one dared take charge of a game

If it wasn't for Brierley winning the Hull KR match last season we would already be in the championship. Who do you think will be next to leave the Titanic?

Well everyone knew the type of player he was when they fought so hard to get him, And according to PA he was brought here to play Fullback, I would have thought the plan was to play to his strengths, but obviously not.

You may have a point about being in a dominant team. That was never going to happen with us though was it ? We can't dominate an injury hit team of Amateurs, If fact i don't think i can remember the last time we dominated anybody, Our pack is well adjusted to coming off second best. Worth remembering also that without Brierley we would almost certainly have been playing in the Championship now



Ellis was a honest trier who was capable of a good game in and among , He had been at enough S League clubs to have made his mark but failed to do so at every one, Including the Giants, and it wont have escaped your notice we now have half a team full of Championship players, Including a half who can't tackle either, mostly because he spends as much time crocked as he does playing.

Except it could be argued Gaskell isn't really a championship player- in the same way as brierley, unlike him He spent his junior years learning At a SL club in a full time environment from some top class players. Saints would not sell him when we tried all that time ago- so thought he had something. He then played at two other SL clubs- and it could be argued he ended up at a championship club through showing loyalty rather than his ability. For me Gaskell has shown himself to be a better 'rugby' player than brierley did.

Darnell has escaped a ban and just received a fine for his punching charge so will be available to play Thursday.
