Of the new signings...

Of the major new signings who are you looking forward to seeing the most?

Drew
Will he have as much influence on the team as he did with us last time?

Grix
Nathan seems to see something in him that will improve the team?

Fa'alogo
Will his 'controlled' aggression be a lift to the team like Eorl's introduction on to the field?

Gilmour
Not many SL players have experienced more 'big' games than him. Will it make the team more composed in those tight games?

Horne
I can only see him as a back up player but will Nathan take him to the next level and be as good as his Brother?

I have to be honest, it'll be good seeing all the signings particularly having Drew back and Fa'alogo making his debut.

But i most looking forward to seeing Gilmour and seeing what he can bring to the Giants. Going off performances and the players ive seen, i think Gilmour is the most exciting of our signings imo.

Fa'alogo for me, wanna see him dot someone!

Sean Long preferably for me


and for me, I'd say Drewy and Fa'alogo

Haha well i do, i assure you

The big kiwi has to have the most potential. If he plays with the sort of passion when he wears the New Zealand shirt, then he will be one of the top forwards in Super League.

I think he went for the cheesiest 'show your teeth' grin he could manage on the photo beneath GD's post! I like the avatar one though!

Looking forward to seeing Gilmour and Fa'alogo as a second row partnership.As well as being able to carry the ball strongly and defend I believe that one of the most important aspects of a top modern day SR is to be able to run good angles off the ball,we know Gilly can do this he was famous for it at St Helens, and hope Fa'logo is just as good.It appears to come more naturally to some second rowers than others,but those dummy runs back inside are vital in the todays game to hold up a defensive line sliding across.

I have to go with Matt, Fa-alogo must be the big hope, but also Gilmore is a player of proven quality, i can never remember seeing him have a bad game at any of the clubs he has been at, although he has been around a bit, so i assume not everyone has been totally impressed. I dont know too much about Grix other than i rated him at fullback when he was at Widnes. Drew we know all about, and he can win games on his day, I think he will be happy to be back with us, depends how much time he can spend on the field really but i dont see him being a let down. Horne who knows? N Brown thinks he's worth 12 months so i will go with him. Over all i think we have a stronger squad, and i also think we are going to need it to maintain our position. One last thing ,I hope A Raleigh moves up to prop, i think he could be as good as any in the league.

This has now become the major issue Bo,which second rower is going to step up to fill that vacated prop position.Andy Raleigh could be the man,he's experienced but in truth has mainly been used running out wide,where he has done his best work.There is talk of of Larne Patrick,mmmmmm unless he's bulked I think he could get stopped no gain and slow play the ball afraid to say.Nathan says Fa'alogo will stay in second row.

There was mention on t'other site that Grix may be the given the scrum half role,we will find out when they hand out the squad numbers whenever that is.

Drewy is class with ball in hand either as dummy half or first receiver can't wait to see him back in the C&G.
