Wakey have re-signed Ben Jefferies, are they just aiming to be as bad as Bradford?



Ben Jefferies
Terry Newton
Glen Morrison

Who's next?

Why is that a problem to you?

If we sign Menzies and Burgess next I don't suppose anyone will mind??!?!

When you resign Jackson you will be able to add his name to the list of our rejects. Lets not mention Drew and Martin either eh

Considering they're not Cas players, that's probably wise.

There's a bit in the ever reliable Sun today by Dave Parker (ironically his column is called Top of the League!) saying that the players union is suing Cas for breach of contract after withdrawing Tony Martin's contract offer.

No link, which is a shame, because it's a e column!

Have heard similar........including that both the players union and the player himself considers him a cas player.

Whatever the outcome it leaves Martin in limbo for the time being.

Guys, if there are legal proceedings taking place (I've heard this too) then I think it wise to refrain from discussing them here. Be very careful with what you post.

Think we can safely call BJ a prodigal son and let's face it who hasn't Newton played for

Bet you would take em!

Newton and morrison are both good player, but gambles, Morrison has had a few bad injuries these last couple of seasons. Never rated BJ tho. I think if the players can all stay fit, and gell, Wakey are looking better team for next year.

I'd not want Jeffries at Cas and certainly not Newton.

Neither would I

Imho i think with these signings Wakey are going backwards, although I'd like to see them prove me wrong

So would all the Wakey fans as well

I bet you said that about snitch, Wilkes, Fox, Blaymire, Moore and Korki to name a few. Whats your thoughts on Millard and Tronc, more backwards steps I suppose! Kear signs players he knows he can work with and gel into his team successfully.

I think, your opinions are more based on wishful thinking rather than rational thought.

I would make a fair assumption that any off out new signings will make the Cas first 17.

Korki was utter trash for us

No wishful thinking about it, i'd like to see Wakey do well, but with a crock like Morrison, a hot head like Newton and Jefferies who you've got rid of once and he went to a team that did worse than you i can't see you improving on this year

Does that sum up the whole of Kokis 6 seasons in SL for you? "If he played poor at Cas he must be poor". Total rubbish he has played well for most of his SL career, for some reason he had a bad year playing under Matterson.
Imho he is the best prop at the moment at Wakey.

As for Morrison ( no bigger a crock than Sherwin ) his resent form has reflected Bradford's resurgence. A proven quality player that im confident Kear will get the best from, injuries permitting of course. A small risk gamble for a one year deal.

With the addition of Millard and Tronc ( which you conveniently didn't comment on), I would say we are looking good for next season.

Going backwards?

Have you heard of Tronc? My god! your club has little more than hopes and dreams to rub together and you slag other more sucessful clubs off!

IF in 2 years time SL is looking to reduce the number of W.Yorks clubs it won't be Wakefield.

Your a small club in a small town with VERY SMALL MINDS!

'"

morrison, newton and tronc would get in the castleford 17, imo. Although I still feel morrison and newton are gambles.

Jeffries wouldn't, not as good as chase or sherwin.

Don't know much bout that new centre.

But it's all just opinions, and the end of the day we should let the teams do the talking on the field, instead of throwing insults over nothing, or other peoples opinions (small team, small minds... what ever).

Such as??????

1) Attendances
2) An ability to build a stadium without begging the council for handouts
3) Actually, an ability to build a stadium - period.
4) Fewer narrow-minded s whose sole purpose for posting is to launch cheap shots at their rivals.

Point 1, yes for now.

Point 2 and 3











Like Cas are building a stadium all off there own finances. As it stands it's cas that needs council help more than Wakey....fact! What happened to RWs prediction for Oct 08 completion?

In my original post in this thread was a reply to the narrow minded blinkered Cas fan that started the thread.

I noticed you didn't mentioned things like academy teams, League positions, woodern spoons and been in NL.

Ability to promote youth to first team, are you sure Castleford are superior than Wakey in that department, I would disagree. Consider we have just handed 7 full time contracts to out table topping academy team.

Stadium, well your is no better than ours.

I would hardly call that "many significant qualities" as you said.

Like I said before you fail to mentioned things like academy teams, League positions, woodern spoons and been in NL
