Maybe the marketing team/club realised it was too big a job for them ? either way i aren't too bothered, soon enough we will be playing an Aussie side for the real one not a sideshow friendly to it !

if the club couldn't market and make money out of a game like that then they should pack up

lets hope you're right and we win the Grand final then. But then will we say it will cost too much for us to play the game, god help us if we have to go to the Australia to play it, prob let wigan go instead

I'm sure the club wouldn't turn down the chance to play in a game in which there was a trophy on offer !

At least we could very well win the infirmary cup this year

From a harsh point of view it's perhaps best for the Giants not to go

1. It's a lot of money for the club to recoup and let's not deny our marketing team is either terminally constricted or they really are useless

2. Let's be honest our form in high intensity games is not the best and a spanking at the hands of an Aussie team would be hard to recover from in terms of selling us to non converts

3. In continuing from 2 I'd rather see 3 English wins to boost the games profile and international setup - the clubs competing best represent that

4. Its a big pre-season distraction in this first year of a new league format, I'd rather see us start the season well and secure top 8

Most clubs use plastic cards now and not a bingo ticket booklet like something from the 50s but we are talking Huddersfield now, do you also include your turnstyle staff in your official attendances ?

I'm not from Hull. Just thought I'd pass comment on the unprovoked slander to a polite innocent question to someone from Hull by a dullard from gods waiting room.
