The tone has to be set to all the current players and FUTURE ones that if they come to the Giants and work under Brown that certain standards of discipline and responsibility are maintained.

If you let them off now it will be a sign of weakness and let other players think they can get away with things.

That causes long term problems in clubs which can take a long time to root out.

If you look at Hull recently and Wire ( pre smith) both teams have suggested that bad apples in the changing room have contributed to their lack of success. I support the club let everyone know what is expected of players or pay the consequence. Any more incidents and ship them out.

i dont see smugness, just a pride in our club that supporters of established clubs will never,ever remotely come close to having.

most of us on here you see, were at fartown,most of us were there every time this club nearly went bust,most of us on here were there when we left fartown and most of us were here when ken davy rescued the club from oblivion (again!) we were there when the brave new world of the mcalpine stadium opened,there in the first years of super league when we were a total embarrassment,and not being relegated just worsened the situation, then the stupid pathetic "merger"

we've come out of the other end stronger as supporters,stronger as a club.
so when you've seen your club struggle for 20 years on and off the pitch then i think having some pride for what this lot have acheived is very much allowed.
makes me laugh when supporters of other clubs moan and whinge when they dont make a cup final or get into the play offs, jeez try sitting there knowing if your club is going to be there the next morning

rant over thanks for listeining
