.....yes that is exactly the same if not worse than making a racist remark! I’m outraged by the use of the term deadwood.

Firstly I have no inclination to get drawn into an is he/isn’t he discussion.

I’m genuinely confused by this, when did the term deadwood become bigoted?

It's not, he's pointing out the irony that Ruddy Duck thinks calling a rugby player 'deadwood' is out of order but racist remarks are OK.

Even calling a player who has been a decent signing by us and a nice bloke, DEADWOOD

Good lord. Being overtly racist is ok but saying a player who’s performances have been poor for a few seasons now “deadwood” is offensive. What a hill to die upon.

So is the Ryan Cross to Wigan deal happening or not? I’ve waited 17 years and things seem to have cooled a little...

Huddersfield have confirmed the signing of Josh Jones on the back of Leutele and Greenwood, I actually thought they were better last season than their points total suggest and if Watson is the coach many people think he is they could well be contenders for the top 4 or even silverware.

Building quite a squad aren’t they? I don’t expect them to win anything next season but I’d have thought they’d launch a decent challenge

Clearly squad building promises were made to get Watson there and it’s really good to see them trying to build a squad to challenge.
