Lafai and English would be great business...

Josh Griffin



He was offered to all clubs for free recentley, but no one wanted him.

you are wrong about Griffin
Think Hull would pay a small part of his salary to get rid
has been offered out but cant see a S/L league club wanting him.
Rubbish as a centre,lazy as a player and a real poor attitude

Having had a look at the Giants squad Prop (middle forwards) does seem to be the one position where they are overloaded. Think Oliver Wilson would be far more likely than Matty English though.

Olly Wilson is a good young prop forward
He played for England Academy v Australia Schoolboys in 2018 whilst still at the Bulls so he has good pedigree

Yeah, he's a good player. With respect to Sharky and his source I do find this rumoured swap deal a bit of a puzzle. There aren't many obvious holes in the Huddersfield squad and certainly not ones where Leeds have the depth to lose a player. Guess we'll see soon enough.

The Giants have a bunch of centres as well.

They have 3 Centres, if you include Bibby. Naiqama and Marsters will start. Bigger issue is where they fit, Connor, Fages, Lolohea and Pryce…

Could it be that Will Pryce is the younger player who wants more game time?
And he is coming to us?

And we're sending them a more experienced player e.g. Donaldson, Leeming?

The power of a good rumour.

Pryce for Donaldson.



Fartown in meltdown.

Could it be there prop Nathan Mason he's experienced

Didn't Pryce play in virtually every game he was available for?

If Pryce goes anywhere short term I reckon it will only be Catalan or NRL. Hudds will want a hefty fee to sell to us.

On sharky’s news, I’d be happy and surprised if Kallum came back next year, he is still class for mine.

going to Newcastle next year isnt he?

Im sure if a club offered us a fee for Griffin we would snap their hand off. His agent has being shopping him around before the end of last season.

Could Huddersfield be interested in taking Johnson on loan havent they lost Levi ?

Yes, but they’ve replaced him by signing Peats

Ian Kirke for Chris Thorman. Done deal.

Not sure what will be from sharky stuff above but been told that Nene MacDonald is complete

Hope he improves his defence.
Would rather have had Lafai but fingers crossed for MacDonald.

Didn't he do pretty poorly in the RLWC?. TBF though he would be facing lesser opponents

Lafai had a great year for Salford last year, but I think on balance Nene is a better bet. At 28, he's three years younger than Lafai and in terms of achievement in the NRL he certainly doesn't have to take a backwards step. He'll get plenty of good ball down that left hand side and at six feet four he'll definitely be a threat in the air. Smith knows him and has coached him before and I think he's earned the right to back his judgment. Lafai is also under contract at Salford, so even if they had been willing, it would have cost us money we don't need to be spending.

Yes you are probably right AC and the majority of games to date in the WC make it hard to judge a players ability.
Lafai did look good for Salford and MacDonald looked good for Leigh against inferior opposition last season.
But I`m happy we have a player Smith clearly rates in a position we are weak in.

I'm hearing that Sam Walters could be on his way out of the club. Him leaving makes sense about a young player wanting more game time that has been rumored. Not sure which other club he's linked with maybe could be involved in the swap deal Sharky has suggested. Him leaving makes sense imo he is down the pecking order in our pack in the Prop department and second row department he's probably 7th or 8th choice for both positions.
