As expected really.

Thought they might have wanted to run their stars out before the start of their Dumper League campaign next weekend. They may be a bit rusty for the Wigan game.

Ah well.

Re: Giants : Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:36 pm  

im amazed that they arnt sending a stronger side than that!

that squad does nothing for the preparation of their 1st team!

and i think shows a big lack of respect for Fax!

Grow up.

Last 3 or so pre season games between Fax / Giants we have had a mainly reserve grade squad, with some of those guys pushing now through to our first team.

Brown would have to calculate whether a game against a weakened Fax side who have been stuffed by Salford and Leigh would be particularly helpful in terms of prep for next week. However the chance to see how our kids (there are many U18s on show) go against a leading Championship side with a good coach may be far more useful to the club.

Brown will attend but the coaches on the day will probably include Lolesi and Riding,

So nasically what you're saying is that we're doing you the favour and should be grateful?

So depressing. I remember when they were in the pits of Rugby League hell without a hope and a prayer. How times have changed. We are where we are and it doesn't help when you have memories of Championship and Challenge Cup winning years.

Hey ho.

I'm off on John's bike. Or is it a quad?

Wrong. If I thought that i would say it.

Am saying it may be useful for NB to see how the prospects go against a good Championship side. Also we have around 8 1st teamers recovering from injuries / operations so there may be fewer junior squad members playing on Sunday. And following 2 first rate stuffings KH may prefer a game where you are not on the back foot quite so much. hth.

If the chip on your shoulder means you interpret that as 'favours' and 'gratefulness' so be it.
