Richard agar has confirmed Wakefield have accepted a bid from hkr for Ben but he himself hasn't spoken to hkr about terms yet...

Yes just seen now I believe it

I might try that myself. I was thinking the new announcements would take me passed 4,000 the way we were going. I could do with a boost

Anyone else think Ben's worth more than £30,000 considering he was named in the England squad? Seems rather cheap for me!

Probably but with 1 year left on his contract and people knowing our situation they could let us pay him for a year then get him for nothing. Rock and a hard place

£30k? I suppose they all think beggars can't be choosers.
Taitai next would be good, he's a disaster area!
JK had a knack of sourcing players many of whom are still holding a shirt in SL.
Looks like some of his guys have gone to Koolcash.

I think we have done well with £30k for a guy of BC age, with a year on his contract and taking into account the usual transfer fees involved in RL.

What was the figure that the Bulls were incorrectly chasing us for with regards Sykes? Bet it was nowhere near that.

I agree with that.

Being said Salford paid £112,500 for Chase, that considered £30K not too bad

That's less than half the figure that most were expecting.
Makes you wonder what they paid for Smith, especially when we hope that he should be replaced at some point ?

Figure being quoted £90k-£100k. I think we can discount the £150k add ons rumour.

Don't know where you've got that from but we currently have irons in the fire to replace anyone who leaves. We may need to swap class for players who have fight in them, we may need to let expensive players go and repace them with cheaper but to say we're not replacing is incorrect.

Agar been on Radio saying Cockayne not a done deal yet.

Di you go to Warrington ? No bet not, Liam took at least 2 difficult high balls , scored a length of field try and had one disallowed for a forward pass

Its 5 month to the start of the season so no way can we say who will be in the squad.


We need to be positive and back everyone who is trying to help us out of this hole !

Spot on.

with Ben making ££££ from herbalife he might consider that all he needs is to play his rugby just down the road rather than travelling to hull everyday, I presume with him still been contracted to Wakefield it's down to him? Just a thought...

If that figure is true about Chase then they really did get him for peanuts. I wish it was as easy to find out info about the cas transfer fees as it was about the wakey ones,but if we did only get £112k for him i am not surprised they are keeping it a secret.

He'll try to get slightly better money and a longer deal at KR.

Oh and Liam Kay is OOC.

Hopefully not for much longer now.

Despite previous posts he looks very promising initially as a winger but hopefully long term as a Wakefield Trinity Super League stand off.



Aiton, Amor or Poore will be sold next I think....

Rumour has it maybe another 4 players to leave. This is when the lack of belief in your juniors comes back to bite you.

Whose fault do you think that is?

Serious question

Who's the four?

Its a collective respondibility IMO. Agar hasn't helped matters with his refusal to give raw kids a go in favour of seasoned pros playing out of position and choosing to bring in young fringe players from outside of the club above those who are already here.

When Agar arrived about 20 months ago, do you think the young players we had were ready?
