| Selling Fifita has no long term benefit for the club, furthermore, if another club wants him and he is OOC next year then they'll just wait 9 months or so and sign him for free. Pointless speculation. Enjoy the positives without looking for the catch, life is much more enjoyable that way.

I was led to believe that he’d already turned down a bigger offer from Warrington to stay at Trinity. He must be happy & settled to do that.
Anyway when it’s confirmed, Kopczak is a great signing!

I'm still hanging on to your last great words of wisdom regarding Fifita.
You'll probably be the only Wakey fan (and use that term in the loosest sense) smiling if we ever lose the guy.

Nope, won't be smiling but I'll understand if he goes.

Could you remind me who's leaving and won't be here next season, to make room for the incoming signings?

And none of their contracts have gone towards improved deals for existing players that have re signed?

Most were signed before these were released, only Hampshire since. If nothing elese Michael Carter won't spend what he doesn't have, a fee plus a wage will be covered.

You asked which players had left. I named some players who have left.
Neither you nor I, know the answer to your previous question, but does it even matter?
It takes a certain kind of person to hear a rumour about signing a good player and conclude that it means a better player will be leaving.
They might, they might not, but why leap to utterly unfounded conclusions?

Should have added, that my reply to your answer wasn't a pop at you.

| I didn't take it a pop at me - I'm just glad we are talking about good players we are (allegedly), signing, rather than the times we were undoubtedly a selling club.
Let's enjoy it whilst we can.

You knock yourself out mate, seems to me you just want something to moan about whilst dressing it up with this fake I know how it works in the real world guff.
Being negative is easy it takes guts to be positive and trust people to do what’s right even if that’s not always happened in the past.
I prefer to look forward.

Ha ha, brilliant, this coming from a bloke who loves to hear the sound of his own voice.
I'm just giving an opinion on our stockpiling of forwards and what it may lead to, if I'd mentioned any other forward than Fifita, nobody would have batted an eyelid!
I'll just keep quiet and watch you continually rubbish every poster that has a different opinion to yourself, if that what gets you off, you little attention seeker you!

You do realise that the SL clubs have to run a reserve team so there's a reason for starters that we need more players. On another note in the modern game prop is a key position and Chessie likes a big pack based on his coaching style maybe he wants more depth and competition and with a reserve grade players good enough to step up at the moment clubs dip into their Academies.

| Couldn't agree more here, I think Fickle and Redwhiteandblue are spot on.
Also, I think if we seriously want to break into the top 4 here, then I feel we need to improve on the quality of our back up props need to be improved.
In those last few games if 2018, when England and Fifita were missing, our pack were well and truly on the back foot

So in what way does that make Fickles point correct, especially when you consider it’s almost opposite to RWB and your own for that matter What an odd post.
But hey you can use the vastly is a know all card if you wish. It’s always the last resort for anyone losing an argument with me, fickle panicked and went for it straight away

Well you’d think so wouldn’t you but no mate it’s a disaster. Apartantly according to some experts on here it opens the door for Fifita to leave so MC can stitch us up.
Now hey it’s not impossible but only Trinity fans could be so negative and pathetic that it’s the first place they go.
Let’s not be positive and make good noises on the hope of storing up some interest. No it’s far better to take an instantly negative approach and instantly nullify a positive signing and then the exact same people wonder why we have no new fans.
Do you think Cas fans would be so retrograde - not on your life and there is the difference between the clubs. One set of fans want success and will always back the team and the club whilst the other set of fans want to keep the club down so they can carry on there personal fetish of wallowing in misery.
Really don’t know why MC bothers, yet despite not being ‘local’ he supports the club far more passionately than most.
Sad really, just incredibly sad - people go on about Peter Box yet it’s not hard to see where he gets his apathy from.

| Is Monaghan being replaced, that would free up some funds if not? I’m sure someone posted elsewhere that Dickens & Gilmore were taking more on.

Its a good signing in my opinion and I'm happy that MC can add up well enough to make it work. No downside for me.

Sorry sir, please tell me when I exactly 'lost' the argument with you, because as far as I'm aware, it's a conflict of opinions, or in other words, one that doesn't fit in with your views.
I'm talking about Fifita being on his way to being 30 when his contract here finishes and will probably be looking for a big last contract, I hope it is at Wakey but with our current situation, can't see it.
Hope this clears up my negativity.

I'm not local either, probably easier for me to ignore the apathy and negativity.

I'm with you PT, Kopczak is a top signing and he shouldnt get homesick either
In a poor Salford side, he's always shown up well and he will be a top addition to the squad.
