Eight clubs and he's only 25!?

As a Wildcats fan I would only be worried had we not replaced the players that have left. Last year we had a squad of 28. We have lost 11 players and we still have a squad of 28 with still a couple of signings to be announced. Admittedly we have promoted 7 lads from the academy, but the signings that have been made, in my opinion, will make us a better team next year!

Worried? Not in the slightest!

I thought most Wakey fans had him down as signed for them for next season?

Guess not

Think not.....with a pack that will have Stotic, Tronc, Newton, Latu, Moore, JD, Ferguson, Morrison, Korky and likey to contain Johnson and Galea too......l think we might just be ok!

Nope, was common knowledge months ago.......wont be a big miss l IMHO, good utitily player that spent most of the seaon on the wing and wont make a SL 6 in my view.

A slow news day on Cas forum then?

This was known, and even in papers months ago, and there was at best a 50-50 split of whether it was good or bad.
Sorry to see him go but he is easily replaced by the players we already have. If he'd stayed he would have only started when we had injuries.

Think Grix plays a number of positions, including full back and stand off, but Blaymire is the regular full back for them.

Apart from our best season ticket sales since 2002, nope nothing much happening. Not unless you want to turn up to the Tigers halloween party and frighten the kids. No need for a mask.

We have known for quite a while he was going. Shame as would have liked to have kept him but not a massive loss.

I personally don't think wakey will be weaker next year. The signings they have made will enable them to move on next year, better than can be said for us at Cas.

The one worry I would have though is the astonishing number of "foreign" players that will be at the club next year (I really hope no-one attempts to excuse it with tales of ancestry).
SimonBarrett only mentions the forwards and he has already listed six definate "foreigners" with another potentially in Galea. All this without taking into account the backs.
Admitedly this is not wakeys problem though as it's the RFL who make the rules and wakey are only looking after their best interests so who can blame them.

Korky, JD, Blanch and l think obst are all outside the 'quota rules' as they were here before they came into force.

The whole quota system is a good idea, but SL will not see the true benefits until the players with dispensations are retired, but it has to start somewhere.

TBH i couldnt give a $hite what the polecats do

No-one at Wakefields nervous. You wanna know why?

1 reason alone. We have a GOOD COACH! we trust him & he hasn't put a foot wrong!

Wot e said..

yet

not that i am too interested in this thread but i have to say you do seem to have a very short memory, its not that long ago that loads of you pussy cats were calling for kears head, many of your fans on this forum didnt seem to think he had a clue with team selections and his obsesion with picking 4 hookers in a starting line up. anyway forget about kear, your season next year depends on one man alone, danny brough if he plays well you will be ok, just out of interest is he deffinatly signed up for next year ?

Yes.
With an extension of another 3 years to come any day now. Which will make him the highest paid Wakefield Trinity player of all time.
For what its worth i figure i heard was 125k rising 15% per year over 3 years.

could be a big risk but will probably turn out ok, just depends how he gets on with newton that could be interesting.

Brough is a proven SL player with several years of good performances under his belt. I would say it's a safe bet to give him a long term contract.

A bigger risk would be giving someone a long term contract based on no more than 1 season of good performances. Chase, Snitch, Westerman and Mcgoldrick are the names that spring to mind!

Except McGoldrick has been here four years, Westerman is an extremely talented youngster who would probably play in most other sides (and played three years), Chase has proven his quality this season and is an important cog in our side for many years to come.

There's only Snitch I can agree with, the rest you talk rubbish.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha get a grip 15% rise a year that would see his final year salary hit the £190k mark that is way beyond wakefield's spending capabilities. i'm surprised you have managed to table £125k in first place to be honnest!
