Club: "you have to wear one of these now. It's compulsory, Dave"
Dave: "you know I don't like them. Get me a smaller one and I'll think about it. Until then, no."

Not sure the club needs to do anything. Wakey's top earner not doing his bit, as far as I see it. As he doesn't bring as much to the team as he used to, the club are right to reassess his demands and refusals.

Don't forget also you talk a load of rubbish I accept that old cocker

Can I just remind you that you wrote the analogy

Health and Safety requires removal of the risk and if that is not possible a fully risk assessed alternative can be considered which could be a change in working practise, grills or shield along with PPE and they would have to cooperate 'reasonable adjustment' is not a method used in safety. Your goggles fearing chap would lose a tribunal, assuming he has the money to start it

Even though you have added a few extra bits to the initial post and the task before it escalated you still come up with the the wrong answer but his safety is paramount and if the only way to guarantee it is to remove him from the task so be it, no doubt they would seek to find another role in the company to suit someone with a fear of safety goggles.

As for 'reasonable adjustments' I am assuming you've picked this up from the Equality Act which requires employers do this for people who may need additional support in the work place be for people with disabilities.

The analogy is well and good to keep Scarlett happy but it doesn't apply in this case.

No one has been sacked so there is no tribunal

A better analogy would be that the employer said they couldn't do that job any more because it wasn't safe so asked them to work in the office for the same money.

The issue will be when the contract is up for review. No tribunal for not renewing a contract.

I hope we sort it all out amicably and Dave can get back to playing but at the moment he has made his position clear by not wearing the tracker.
Seems like a pointless point of principle to me.

Nothing stopping Dave or his agent releasing a statement. Isn't his agent Harrison? He's never short of an opinion on everything.

It wasnt a very good analogy was it? Apologies

I see he’s up before the head and HR on Friday. I hope but don’t expect that they realise he is a cult amongst the Wakefield supporters who do not frequent this forum. What I expect is that they will agree for him to see out the season and allow him to leave because there will be no shortage of clubs looking to sign him.
The bottom line will as per usual be money, the club have made it a point on every occasion to state he is our highest paid player and I expect that they think he can be replaced by our London loanee who will warrant a much lower salary.

Sorry...can you clarify this. I haven't seen this info.

???

CC has said it in his pre-match interview.

Cheers. I shall look now.

It doesn't say he's up before HR - it says he returns to training on Friday.

Are you reading something different?

I think the general feeling out there is that he is more of a Prima Donna these days. If he can be got back into the group he will have every chance of showing that there is still a valuable squad member in there somewhere.

If he leaves he leaves.

Can't say as any player leaving will ever have the same effect on me as when I heard Willie Poching had signed for Leeds.

I was using the analogy of a school with Carter being the Headmaster and the best I could think of for Chester was HR, I did think deputy head.

CC stated in his press conference that he and MC have a meeting with Fifita on Friday.

Why didnt you just say it as it was then??

Hi all, quick question. Is Fifita signed up next year for you? With Catalans apparently wanting him he could be trying to rock the boat to get out if he is contracted to you next year.
Does seem a proper dick move though

That's a simile, not an analogy.

And it's utter made up .

I would go as far as saying it's a lie.

I agree completely. Busted Scarlet.

W Poching now you talking legend Had to leave the club because we were short of cash,cried in front of of the fans when he played is last game Came back with Leeds scored a try in front of the northstand, and the fans sang Ther's only one Willy Poching.Though Big Dave was going to be up there but think he will be away next year Hope we do not waist the money 'but think we will

I wish there was some way we could get him as our conditioner.

W Poching is out of reach but we definitely need a better conditioner. Think that is why Dave is struggling for fitness kept been pushed back to soon.When he moves on hope he can win something,think he deserves that

I was treating the club like a school based on how the meeting was relayed in the press conference therefore I will stick with analogy and what is a lie is the meeting not taking place is it not between the player, Carter and Chester and will it not take place on Friday.

Well, either you're talking rubbish [iagain[/i


Or, CC is telling porkies in his pre match Yorkshire Post interview.
"David Fifita is returning to training on Friday - there will be some discussions [uthen[/u with myself, Dave & MC"
I know who I believe......

I hope we get rid .

Ridiculous comment
