Wed April 23, 2008 Source: www.giantsrl.comHuddersfield Giants hooker George Gatis has returned home to Australia for family reasons. The 29 year old joined from New Zealand Warriors on a two-year deal but personal circumstances have necessitated an early return. Gatis commented: "I have loved my time here at Huddersfield but my family need me at home right now. I had hoped to get through the year but it's not to be and I would like to thank the club for their understanding and the help they have provided me. The rugby field is the furthest thing from my mind at the moment and I wish the Giants every success in the future. From day one here the coaches, players, staff and supporters have been great to me and to not be able to see the job through was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make ? however I know I have made the right one."Giants Head Coach Jon Sharp commented: "I am really disappointed for George and everyone at the club that he has not been able to complete his two years with the Giants. He is a very popular member of the squad who always worked very hard at his game. I would like to send my very best wishes to George and his family."News sent by: www.giantsrl.comWed August 29, 2007 Source: www.giantsrl.comHuddersfield Giants have beaten several NRL and Super League clubs to the signature of New Zealand Warriors hooking star George Gatis. The 29-year-old has been a stand out player for a Warriors team that many are tipping as dark horses for the NRL title. Gatis has signed a two-year deal with the Giants and is excited to be joining for the 2008 season: "Playing in England is something I've always dreamed of doing, I'm happy with the form I'm showing for the Warriors right now, so I felt this would be the right time to give it a go in England. I believe I've proved myself in the Australian NRL, and now I'm determined to prove myself in Super League, because that has always been a deep personal ambition of mine.
"It's a fresh and exciting challenge, and I can't wait to get over there. I did have the chance to go to other clubs, but I was impressed with the talks I had at the Giants, and I'm impressed with the quality of the squad. For example, Paul Whatuira is a class act in the Australian NRL, so for the Giants to be able to sign him for next season immediately convinced me this was a club worth joining." Head coach Jon Sharp believes his club have again snared a top class performer in the face of high profile competition: "He's a great signing for us and I'm delighted to have got him. George had offers from a number of top clubs, and to choose us is another indication of the growing standing in the game of Huddersfield Giants. I obviously took a very long look at him during the recruitment process and I can't wait to use him here. He's very athletic, with great attacking skills and a solid defence. He's also a very highly accomplished kicker out of dummy-half. The options he will give us are fantastic."News sent by: www.giantsrl.com
