Superb news!

Wonder when we'll find out what's going on with Jacko and Griff?

Griff is still contracted next year isn't he?

I believe he and Jacko are both out of contract at the end of this season.

Just done a quick search of the Examiner website but it's not as good as it used to be for finding old articles. Will have another squizz...

http://www.examiner.co.uk/huddersfield- ... -24213740/ upsy daisy's link confirms then that Griff's in the last year of his current deal. If he goes he will take some replacing, he has recently started to find some form again.

I thought he'd signed another deal but could be wrong (I have been before )

He was in spanking form last season wasn't he, but I can't remember him extending. The Examiner site is now pretty rubbish for searching for the older articles though, which is a shame. It used to be really good but the format change doesn't work well now for the archived articles.

great news about eorl best prop in the league by a mile mainly because of his ability to offload, which other than graham at saints not many props do

Examiner EORL CRABTREE has today signed a five-year contract extension which will keep him at the Giants until the end of the 2015 season. The 26-year-old England prop is now one of the hottest properties in Super League and the Giants have acted quickly to tie down their prize asset. Crabtree has been at the heart of Huddersfield’s rise to third place in the top-flight table, with Warrington and England coach Tony Smith admitting the powerhouse front-row forward was the difference between the two sides in Sunday’s 28-10 Giants’ triumph over the Wolves. Crabtree still has a year of his current deal to run, which will take in his testimonial season. But the Ex-Underbank and Huddersfield YMCA rugby union junior has signed up for a new deal now to underline his full commitment to the cause. "I think everyone knows how much I love this club and how much I love playing for the Giants, and I’m absolutely delighted to sign this extension," he said. "Huddersfield are my home_ town club and I have always been proud to represent the Giants, especially through an era when we have progressed from National League I to become a force in Super League.

Fantastic news, hope he becomes an international regular now, on the form he's showing there's nobody else in SL to touch him. He should be a "shoe in" but unfortunately I don't pick the team.

Well done Big Eorl a true Fartown Great.

I hope Big Griff follows suit now.


ONWARDS AND UPWARDS
