HI, it’s Jammer here. What a turbulent year we’ve had – the ups and downs, the good and the bad ... and the referees!

But I’m going to turn my attention to the positives and enjoyable aspects of the season, and I will also give you a little insight into the first-teams bloopers and mishaps.

The last few weeks have given the Giants of 2008 a little bit of respect and deservedly so, three wins from five games and two tight finishes have defined our season – close but no cigar!

To see the boys still battling it out with a top-three side in the 80th minute last week shows the grit and determination needed to succeed.

With new incoming coach Nathan Brown and a host of young new stars and experience from abroad, 2009 should hold exciting times.

The announcement from chairman Ken Davy of season-ticket prices being dramatically cut and players doing extra work with the local community has produced an extra buzz around the club.

Now, we don’t usually get to tell the public of all the little misdemeanours the players get themselves into, but I, Jammer, will happily let you in on a few facts and tips.

This year the team has found themselves split into certain factions, knowingly and unknowingly. These groups have been compiled by me and a few silent helpers who would like to remain anonymous. So here we go:

CHOCOLATE UNDERWEAR GANG: Chris Thorman, Kevin Brown, Andy Raleigh and Luke Robinson. What can I say, the name says it all!

THE WORST DRESSED: Danny Kirmond, John Skandalis, Chris Lawson and Darrell Griffin (worst underwear ever!), please if you see these men on the streets give them some fashion advice.

THE LANCASHIRE BUS: Ste Wild, Stu Jones, Martin Aspinwall and Dave Hodgson. This group has a wide variety of characters from crazy to brainy but are always reliable and funny.

THE BROTHERS: Jamahl Lolesi, Paul Whatuira, Leroy Cudjoe, Jermaine McGillvary, Michael Lawrence, Rod Jensen, David Faiumu and Steven Snitch (Darnell off Big Brother).

THE NERDS: Paul Jackson, Eorl Crabtree. Probably have every gadget available, if not know where to get it, even if it isn’t “legally” out yet. Need I say more?

Now with this wide variety of groups, there were sure to be some Kodak moments and there were.

We’ve had Kevin Brown walking through the Kingsgate Centre in dirty training clothes and his boots, picking up the house keys off partner Kirsty because Wildy took his keys back to Wigan on purpose!

Our famous rehab man, Greg Brown, crashing his £200 car not once but twice. His accident bill outweighs the worth of the heap he calls a car. Not only has he crashed into garden gnome Luke Robinson, he also managed to leave his hand brake down and let his car crash into someone’s fence through to the garden. Nice going Greg!

Andy here. I’d like to add that, yes, although this season has had its disappointments it has also had its great moments.

Who can forget beating Saints at home and winning at Hull FC’s KC Stadium for the first time in the club’s history, this season has set us up for a great year next time round.

Record attendances have shown the potential Huddersfield Giants have in drawing big crowds, and the availability of discount season-tickets all bodes well for the future.

On behalf of all the players, I’d like to thank the loyal fans who have followed us this year and I hope to see the same faces during the next campaign, along with a lot of new ones.

The arrival of new faces, both in the playing and coaching staff, is sure to bring new energy and ideas to the club and I’m sure we have an extremely successful year to come.

But, in saying all this, we sound like the season is finished. Far from it!

We have another home clash tomorrow with high-flying St Helens, who we managed to beat last time around at the Galpharm.

Another win against them would be priceless, as would a win at Warrington. We’ve been close to beating them twice this year and that fact hasn’t be lost on all the boys. Victory at the Halliwell Jones would be very sweet indeed!
