He may feel he is worth more that we are offering whatever that may be ,but we simply can’t pay anyone more than we can afford and go back to the bad old days
We may not have a lot as a club but we have stability on and off the field ,and a real canny business man at the helm thank god .'"
How do you know if he feels he's worth more, if you don't know how much that is?

He did not claim to know anything
May - "expressing possibility"

Or maybe he might be using that word to express in his opinion that he believed Arona thought he was worth more, and without having accurate knowledge of his wage demands and was just guessing, either way it wasn't that funny, unless you were laughing at your good self

| Arona is not worth paying overs to keep in my opinion.
think he has been pretty ordinary these last couple of matches to be honest- maybe he has already been told we are not paying him what he thinks he is worth.

| From his interview today suggests as if the problem might be he's the only quota player ooc. Maybe the club are seeing what's available overseas wise before deciding on using last spot on T

| and I think that is very smart from the club.We have so many backrowers who do the same job as arona.
maybe a half or 5/8 available.....
there is plenty of movement at nrl clubs Manly,Parra and Bulldogs at the moment due to salary cap dramas -time to strike now
anybody say Trent Hodkinson?

| I think Arona had his best season with us last year and was my man of the season. This season he has not really stood out for me however he does have a very good work ethic.
I'd be sad to seeing him go, however not having insight to the negotiations I don't know what % of our budget they are negotiating on to keep him (unless it is a quota spot issue).

| It's a tough call on coach and chairman, and one I'm glad I'm not having to make that call.
I like Arona, and is one of the first players in the team sheet for me. Having said that, I also don't think has reached his best form this year.
I do think Jordy us more than capable of filling his boots.
If Arona does go, that will free up a spot, and then you look at the other players.
If Finn ends up going too, then regardless of how Miller and Hampshire pan out, we will probably be looking for another half, to provide cover and competition. That is of course, unless Ackroyd is ready to step up, and be given game time.
Although Trent Hodkinson is a good player, with his dodgy knees, is it a gamble we are willing or can afford to make. Maybe there are younger and fitter halves around that would be a better fit for us.

Usually think there's something behind what you post EW but I'm presuming this is more your gut feeling? Apart from some slightly above average games in the Championship I can't see where the evidence behind your comment comes from.
I agree on the point about Trent Hodkinson, he is a gamble and an expensive one at that.

| Been a great player and hard working every time I have seen him play yet you would rather chance your arm bringing in some other second rate Aussie! Great advert for any player to come to Wakefield.. I am sure he will find a club that will appreciate a player that gives what he gives. A top coach will pick him up im sure, might be on his way to Cas.

Awww Diddums!! Still not got over another defeat?? You should be used to it by now.
Obviously not going to be coming to your place though to play in the Championship so why would you care where he ends up??

| After tonight's game and the players that started, I believe apart from Hampshire, they are all contracted for next season, maybe trying to work something out with Hampshire, whilst seeing how the team plays with Arona on the bench?

Well if you read the post, Ketty Cat says "he MAY feel", throwing out potential possibilities as to why Arona MAY not be here next year. Why jump down someone's throat for that

I like Arona, he's a solid no nonsense loose who does the hard yards and is defensively good in my opinion. That said, I'll never know the ins and outs of who's coming or going or for what reason but if he was to leave it's obviously a precious quota spot freed up and Chester has a nack of luring decent signings from the NRL. People keep talking about Trent Hodkinson coming, and if he was to take the quota spot I'd be happy. Hodkinson with two gammy knees is still twice the player Finn is and ever has been. No disrespect to Finn but Hodkinson was playing SOO 2/3 years ago

Here's my post that clearly offends you, it asks a simple question to his comment it's followed up with a question mark and not an insulting smilie like yours, I'm not sure what I'm guilty of here, or where your perception comes from that I've actually jumped down his throat and I'm even less sure why you've brought it up a month after it was posted, is there anything else you feel you need to get off your chest while your at it

I knew you had a problem understanding the English language when it took a month to digest a post, so I thought I'd highlight it in an attempt to clear up your confusion, I'm glad we've cleared that up, at least you got that smilie right as well, lesson learned here, in future if your not sure please ask it saves embarrassment.
