brearley84 is the Giants version of NGB4C. I think AR may have smashed him in a tackle, the vitrol he gives him. Raleigh is well thought of viewtopic.php?f=26&t=510799

Obviously he's not quite the guy we thought he was whilst in Admin then. Not RW&B through and through!

Andy Raleigh is a tough as nails and will be a superb backrower for us should he stay injury free.

Welcome aboard boys.

With regards Aaron Murphy time will tell how good he is! The word 'potential' doesn't mean he will definately progress like everyone suggests.

The majority of us want you to do one, so it looks like disappointment all round.

Each and every time you post you have this wonderful knack of outdoing yourself.

Murphy has gone get over it, no player is ever going to tell supporters he is leaving. As the press release says he could have gone at the beginning of the year during the time when the administrators were running the club, but he decided to stay and help his team mates and then go at the end of the season. He was offered a new contract and probably what the club thought was a fair amount. Huddersfield offered more and anyone with an ounce of sense (something you clearly lack) is going to take the better offer especially when they are only able to earn that kind of money for a limited time as a professional Rugby League Player.

Murphy is a good player but he is gone now and time will tell whether he can fulfil his potential.

A bit unfair - he's a young lad facing a short career; he can hardly be blamed for acting in his own best interests.

The real ambition should be that our club becomes sufficiently attractive and able to compete in the market place, such that we become a viable option in terms of the ability to attract and retain quality players; not that players agree to stay here on a reduced deal, out of a sense of loyalty. That's never going to happen and if you wish for it, you'll be persistently disappointed.

Good luck Smurph - time to move on.

2 important points to remember the man that helped bring him through to first team level Pete Riding is now at the Giants and so is his younger brother. I would expect that both would be a draw.

Good bit of business for mine. Wakefield have got a lad who will run himself to water and go about his business quietly but very effectively in Raleigh. He gets some stick for not being flashy, but I played with him for a number of years in rep teams and whenever you need a runner and other forwards go missing Raleigh will be there willing to take it up, time and time again. Great engine on him.

Kirmond good solid strike backrow, nice bit of business for Trinity given the circumstances.

I suppose if either of them were regarded as one of the best players in SL and had just won MoS, perhaps we would?

I agree that the Cas PR machine backfired a bit on that one, but can you imagine if Broughy were still here and had just signed a long deal - we'd be shouting from the rooftops.
