Sky Sports gave you the chance (via twitter @SkySportsRL) to put your questions to Huddersfield Giants icon Eorl Crabtree (@BigEorl), one of the most recognisable figures in Super League.

@alexhatton10: Which team do you enjoy playing against the most? @BigEorl: I enjoy playing against pretty much all the teams, but for some reason I like going to Hull. I've had some really good games there and just like the set-up, stadium, changing rooms and the pitch. It's always good and the atmosphere is always fantastic so that's my favourite place to go play. I actually played very well in that game (last year's play-off defeat to Hull FC). I played 80 minutes which is the first time I've ever done that, so it's very memorable in that sense as well. @millar1083: How long is your ponytail? @BigEorl: I just had it cut so it's probably only about, I'm guessing, maybe five or six inches. It used to be about seven and a half, I've had about an inch and a half cut off and I feel naked with the fact it's been trimmed. I don't like it! @anxietynomoreuk: Who is the biggest joker and biggest moaner in the Giants dressing room? @BigEorl: I am probably up there with the biggest moaners. There's a few of us, me and Larne Patrick tend to moan together which is quite good. To be fair, we're just a team full of moaners! Biggest joker, I don't know if we really have one anymore. I think everyone just has a bit of a laugh. Dale Ferguson (who left for Hull KR on loan) was always going round so we've lost him and he was a bit of a pain in the backside. We've got a great bunch of lads that all seem to have a funny side to them, always playing little tricks on people and stuff like that which is good. But definitely biggest moaner has to be me. @mattybell02: Where do you think the Giants will finish and who will win the Grand Final? @BigEorl: I'm not sure where we will finish. I'd like to say we'll finish right at the top of the league but over the last couple of years we've not done that and I've been talking about top four. So I'm quite happy to just do a Leeds, finish in the top eight and then just go on and win it! Seriously, if we cement our place in the play-offs then I think we'll be happy. That's what it's all about at the end of the day, we want to be more consistent throughout the year. Who will win the Grand Final? I can't really say that because that would rule us out if I didn't say us. @terry_burdon: Do you straighten your hair or is it natural? @BigEorl: It's naturally straight hair, I'm blessed in that way!
