Let's face it 80 mins of crap RL still beats anything any other sport can offer. I can spend £50 easy just going out for a meal with the better half (with drinks :wink: ). £200 for 13 X 80 mins of real action is a bargain.

Well said that man. Just remember, as bad as we may play, it'll still be more exciting than the best puffball game there's ever been.

I'm 100% sure they had a good go at getting a stand off - just disappointed it didn't come off.

Brough / Robinson will give any team a run for their money - but will they do it consistently enough over the season to bring some silverware to the Giants and what if ether gets injured? Just as an example Wire have Briers, O'Brien, Ratchford and Myler - I believe we needed that extra quality player to start the game alongside Brough with Robbo coming off the bench to scoot at a tyring team.

I'm not being pessimistic just realistic. I still believe we'll go better than last year and the forwards will give the backs a better platform to work with. The big plus for me is that with some proper props the likes of Chan, Patrick, Ferres, Ukama and O'Donnell will be able to do some damage around the edges like Manu and Moa.


i was disappointed too it didnt come off.

i suppose if brough or robbo get injured then grix will fill in.

if we kept robbo on the bench then lunt or faiumu would have to miss out and this is no good, we need all our best players on the pitch, this scenario allows us to do so.

like the thought of chan/ferres/taai and odonnell doing some damage on the outside :twisted: manu is top class player, nathan brown nabbed him!

I think this switch around in the halves is a gamble myself,I hope it comes off but need to be convinced very early on in the campaign.

It's hardly a gamble, they have played in those positions before.

I don't recall Brough playing as second receiver (pivot) before for us,charged with putting players into gaps in the style of a Finch or a Briers.IMO his best attributes at 7 were his kicking game,and also his quick feet,that could see him step around players rushing up at him.Often thought his picking of the correct runner out wide, if the halves were split,was an aspect of his game that needed some work.

Robinson not so much of a gamble admittedly,the kicking game obviously not as strong though.

does anyone else think as i do that a new half back isnt dead just yet and 4 or 5 matches into the new season they might sign one agents here and in aus know we are on the lookout so when teams get settled just maybe a quality one may come available

I've been saying for ages i reckon we're going to make a signing after the season starts ala Stanley Gene/Liam Fulton...i dont think we will just 'give up' looking for a half back and accept what we have if we have cap space !

They've stated who are going to be the halves,so let's go with that.They have all this pre-season to practice their combinations.Plus halves are only as good as the lines and options coming off them.So plenty of work for the coaching staff there.

Gaskell has been given the number 20 shirt at saints- so it doesn't look as if NB sees him in the starting lineup. Shame as he could have been playing every week for us!
