Best wishes to Paul and a speedy recovery.

With a natural break between games, the players were given a week off - I don't see the issue if some of them chose to take a short holiday.

A Brake!!! with only seven games to go and losseing for the last few games ! dont make me laugh,

more likely managment brake so no one to give them the nessesary lead coaching, and dedication to end the season with more wins than last year.

Bad news, and the circumstances are even worse.

Nothing wrong with the break (as in a holiday), in fact it could boost energy levels and freshen up the player/s. It’s not as if the two weeks of training prior to a match the club have had so far during the season have helped.

Don't let the fact that all SL teams catch breaks if the schedule allows but hey don't let that stop you.

A brake is something that slows you're car down ftr.

Aitons played 80 mins in every game and never looked like hiding once, he deserves a break, even machines need service and down time.

Paulie is out for 6-8 week with broken jaw

From twitter......

Wakefield Wildcats ‏@WTWildcatsRL

Richard Agar confirms Paul Aiton out for 6-8 weeks with a broken jaw. Andy Ellis recalled from loan at Featherstone Rovers.

Twitter has confirmed what we knew- Aiton out for 6-8 weeks, Andy Ellis recalled. No mention of how he got it.

Wakey Express saying he was mugged in Spain.

Correct, and pretty nasty it was too by the sounds of it.

I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

on offical wakefield site says that agar allowed members of his squad time off with a free weekend for the Carnegie Challenge Cup semi-finals hes had an operation to have a metal plate put into his jaw and will be out for 8 week. Also says he was hit with an object to the face and they stole his bag with fone and wallet inside.

Have to agree....Aiton has run his blood to water all season, and has clearly shown he is our best defensive player, so whilst the circumstances of his enforced BREAK from the team are not how we would have wanted them, it obviously gives Ellis the chance to show Agar what he has been missing all season, and hopefully earn himself a contract for next season !!! (Unless he already has one ????)

Why wasn't he as unorganised as Semi T would could't find his passport for the Catalans game??????

How quick can we recall Ellis??????

Where in spain because if some one like paul gets mugged i ant going there

Absolutely anywhere! (I know).

You will miss Aiton - your best player this season by far. Hope he gets well.

Yup.... Been done over in Barcelona and Malaga! Dangerous them foreign places..... Stick to Westgate!!


OT Aiton will be a real loss and is my player of the season FWIW
Hope for some good news tomorrow, lot happening behind the scenes

that was atkins! which is why player passports are taken in before travel

Hes already been recalled

I'm sad to see aiton will miss the rest of the season, he's been our outstanding performer throughout the season. Unfortunately there are a lot of muggings of tourists abroad as some of them carry all their cash cards etc on them so are seen as easy pickings.

Back on rugby matters this is a great opportunity for us to see what andy ellis can do. Long wait for the lad but at least he's been playing regularly. i understand from some of the fev fans at work he's been their best player in the last few matches. Depends if agar plays him or wood as starting hooker for me it has to be ellis i've not seen anything from wood that warrents him to start.

Roll on sunday and come on the wildcats!!!

Thats such a shame, Aiton's played very well for this season and its an outrage that its in this manner. Hope those cowards get caught and have the book thrown at them. Speedy recovery Aiton.

Come on lads, lets beat fart-town for Aiton!!!!!

Atkins may have done it but Semi got there first - he didn't just lose his passport he also lost his visa and not just once.

Hoping to be back before the end of the season: wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news/ait ... e/2012/07/

Not sure if the loss of a visa would be a problem as many these days are electronic and you are given a reference number as with USA or Australia, but I always wondered if Semi's loss of passport was 'tactical'. in that he didn't have the right paperwork to get back into the country once he'd left.



As conspiracy theories go, I like it. It's up there with the fact that Brad Drew was always 'injured' when we played Huddersfield
