BIGAL - Cant agree more and would like to see the quota drop to 2 but as it is if it helps the club in the short term so be it lets use the system.If and when Newmarket gets the go and the club moves in the club need to be around mid table to take advantage of it as opposed to being in the bottom 3.It would be a lot easier to sell the club to potential new fans that way.

People are suggesting we sold Murphy in exchance for Raleigh & Kirmond + Cash.

As far as i'm aware these are two seperate deals; We sold Murphy for cash and picked up Kirmond & Raleigh for free as they wanted first team rugby and Hudds had cap issues

Especially when everyone on here seems to be up in arms about Chase potentially playing for England.

Pretty much agree with this but remember we need to progress on this season which has been a bit of a disaster and imports are needed for that progression - we cannot do it straight away with our own youngsters, that is going to take time.

Walshaw will be playing second fiddle as you put to it to 2 Aussies but do you honestly believe he is ready to play SL every week and command a centre spot - I have seen little of him so I don't know. He will replace an Aussie when he is ready and good enough and I would not be surprised to see him get some game time next season on the wing.

I'm all for bringing our juniors through but they have to be good enough and ready for SL before they can come through and of course when they do they have to want to stay with us.

Once Ken Davey pops his clogs the house of cards will come crashing down.

The only cash that changed hands in this deal was the money that the Giants paid AR and DK for agreeing to join the Wildcats.

lets be real AM is not a international class player he is average how many tries did he score last season 3-4 how many did he create for his winger?i think he his made out to be better than he actually is and i think we have a better deal out of this.we now have quite a good set of forwards (maybe a prop short)and it wouldnt matter who we have in the halfs if we didnt have a good set of forwards

Eh? What does Chase playing for England have to do with any of this, second time you've brought this up in unrelated topics.

i hope your happy with all your signings poor old dull fc cant sign anyone because agars spent all there money yes hes still getting the blame for everything at the kc

things are shaping up nicely frankie still needs some work, but seriously carnt blame agar now he aint there!!! sure pearson will sort u out now ugly hetherington has gone

not from the dark side but had to listen to them blame agar for the last 2 years and now even that hes gone there still blaming him its just funny the delusions they have like there getting jamie lyon but ending up with tony martin

It's not unrleated, it is the issue. Young English players aren't able to get into first teams because clubs sign the likes of Winterstein and Leano who add nothing to the sport. It's hypocritical to whinge about Chase getting picked for England but then champion the club signing average imports.

Frankie mariano will be next. I thought you werent aloud to poach players during the season???

Well said Forrest.

How come any report from Hudds never mentions a cash fee?? Didnt this happen with Brough as well?

Dissapointed he has gone, a, because he is good and b, because he has come through the system here and someone else will get the benefit.
The argument with regards to his number of tries and assists he provided are a bit flawed based on the fact we played a 'limited' style of play and we were struggling all season. We all said the same about Atkins 3 years ago! Amazing how players can look so much better with decent players around them.

Dependant on the amount of cash we got, i am reasonably happy with the deal. Raleigh i like and Kirmond, you know what you are getting. Not 100% sure we needed another 2 in the pack but i suppose if good players become available, you have to take them.

Struggling to keep up with all the comings and goings at Wakey but while the net result looks to be a significant strengthening do you think there's a real possibility your 17 most weeks wont include a single homegrown player?

I would like to think Wildie and Davey have done enough to get regular starts. However, with Ferguson, George and Murphy now all departed, there is a very real possibility of there being no Trinity youth in the first team. All the more reason to off load Lee and refrain from signing Obst (although he is a player I admire).

I'm sorry but that is a load of rubbish, the 2 things are totally unrelated and as far as I'm concerned you can have a problem with the standard of import that sometimes finds it's way into to SL and have a completely different view on a foreigner playing for the national team especially when he's no connections to the country and in Chase's case has only come about because of the scenario he finds himself in. I think you'll find that a lot of people moan when second rate imports get signed and people are moaning now with Chase.
