Do you agree though that for Wakey to let one of their key players go now there has to be a really good deal offered from our perspective. We are unlikely to be able to replace Brough before the end of the season and perhaps you are breaking your rule of no transfer fees to force our hand.

I don't buy into we need the money, we have just saved a fair wedge on Newton's wage and if we needed the money we would just keep that and not bother trying to sign Cooke.

I have no idea on names at all - except that they are not any of those allegedly involved in any incidents! I have heard that we gave a list of 5 players that we would be interested in - and that's as far as the trail goes.

You may not pay cash, but there may be some 'under-writing' of contracts - which amounts to a similar thing, and it keeps your policy intact.

Interesting few days ahead - shame it didn't all happen in the close-season!

Then presumabley you aren't getting danny, well this season anyway??
To be honest Robinson ran him ragged so why you want him I don't know?!?!?

ok but we wont be letting him go for nowt and it would have to be to our benfit or we would say no.

Robinson is turd except when he plays against us!

ah i see we get the players and their wages are paid for too thus in effect win-win "in kind" payment to us and "policy" remains intact
clever! clever!

Thats why I put that post on, its so difficult to choose the best option. This thing with Brough and Hudds has been going on far too long for there not to be something in it. For me Brough is one of those that has a plaster for every sore, it seems that whatever you offer him there will be something else that doesnt suit him. But back to the big question though, do you let him go or do you make him stay, just glad its not my call. So long as it works out for us I'm not fussed either way.

Your not wrong there, Even when he was at Salford he always saved his best game for us.

Tell you what Wadders old boy, If Broughy does go to your place there will be plenty on your board who have sworn blind that there is no way Brough is going there left with egg on there face

Yep Chizz its a tough call

However like I said remember Griff and what those shudds ts did to him

I think to be honest you've got to forget about the money, it's about weather or not his heart is in it, Kear will, know and make the decision, if one has to be made on that.
The money angle can work either way, I would imagine what's best for the team is number 1 priority, if we have to take 1 step back to take 2 forward later then so be it, it's his "kevin keegan selling andy cole and then buying alan shearer" moment!! If this is the case it shows kears continued commitment to the club, so maybe as DBs off at the end of the season anyway, it's a bit of a win win situation for us?

Isn't Korkidas still under a Giants contract...

yet he is the general of one the top teams in the country , i never rated mike ford but many others disagreed

yes I think that's right we have him on a seasons loan

That's why they need Brough.

Just been adding two and two togther and coming up with five.

Brough released early from Wakefield for some wonga and a couple of players.(with Fart Own 'underwriting' their wages). Any money saved plus any money saved on Turry's wages goes to signing Brett Finch who gets an early release from his NRL contract and comes over in time for the Salford game.
And despite all this Marsden Giant will be saying that we only sold Brough to pay back money owed to the local milkman who had threatened us with a winding up order.

Ahhhhh, this Bostik is luvverley.

heard it from Danny himself on Friday morning...said it might be his last game tonight....gods honest truth not trolling. Find it a little strange but you cant question it when its straight from the horses mouth

Ted Richardson, If your reading this... DO AS LYNDSAYGILL SUGGESTED!!!!!

The 90k Newton was on + the potential DB contract = A massive signing & a fitting steward to lead us to Newmarket!

i like many people will be disappointed if danny goes but he would gone at end of season anyway but we need a like for like replacement.him going would leave the club with out a in my terms a proper scrum half, i disagree with some posters saying there is no difference between 6 and 7 to me there is big difference,who we bring in is any body guess (i know its def not kirmond)but as long as they come and do a good job thats all we can ask for.i am though dissappointed in the club for letting him go at this stage of the season for what i thought wouldnt be a large amount.i also think danny is making a mistake he is going to a club where he wont be there main star i cant see how he and robinson can play together then there is drew to come back.i also wonder what shudds fans think cos they a getting a quality player but somone who sulks when hes not in the limlight(happend many times last season when on pitch with drew)but a player who is only going for one thing MONEY

I for one don't doubt you, the guy is bankrupt and has to chase the money afterall he's a young man with a young family to keep. How he's managed to get in to trouble when earning what I presume will be a very good wage only he knows. He's got himself into this mess and he's got to get himself out of it. Heard a figure of 150k per season offered by us which is a mammoth contract. Hudds allegedly able to offer around 20k a season more over 4 years. That's nearly three quarters of a million big ones! Also heard mr davey willing to get him out of debt too so depending on how much trouble he's in the whole package could be worth an absolute fortune. He's been great for us on the whole but we have shown before we can manage without him and if he does go no doubt we will manage without him again. Thanks for the memories danny (if you do go which seems inevitable) and good luck in sorting out your life whether that be at the wildcats or elsewhere.

Any official announcement?

getting announced tomorrow at same time as the annoucment of him going to kr

The bit I don't get here is, Danny, judging by hair do's etc, is well in touch with his appearance. (Something, I may add, that I am not

)
So why the hell does he want to cavort around a rugby field in yellow and purple.

Hmmm you sure?

Theres one thing i dont quite get here --- the bankruptcy.

If hes bankrupt - thats the legal way of clearing your debts.So why the need for a financial package to rescue him.Surely he has already "rescued" himself by going bankrupt.
