Hopefully the silly season is about to end and we will find out who is going staying

but given talk of a 20-21 man squad and the likelihood of some players going petereson, snitch? Atkins? Wilkes? Drew? and the definites like bibey and martin

We are also only allows 8 non local trained players next season - so am pretty sure that jd would count as foreign, and so would hendo - altho am sure he could do a finnegan and appeal

1 Matt blaymire
2) murphy
3) Gleeson
4) Millard (non fed)
5) Blanch (non fed)
6) Grix
7) Danny Brough


Tronc (non fed)
9) Newton
10) Stosic (non fed)
11) Morrision (non fed)
12) Ferguson
13) JD (non fed)

14) Obst Non fed
15 Korky ? & is he non fed? as he has a greek passport
16) Moore
17) Hendo
1icon_cool.gif George
19) Latu Non fed

assuming the young lads like davey etc count as home grown but dont form part of the senior 21 then realistically unless one of our non local trained players is going and we arent keeping corky (in which casev why would u let wilkes or bibey leave ) cant see how we could sign bj and i for one would not like to see obst go to make way for him

also if the numbers are right then cant really see more than another one orv two signings at most

And him jumping ship for money after having had his career put back on track by us will probably make them feel vindicated.

we don't know the facts yet so why speculate?

Whether he goes to Cas or as is now being speculated on, Hull, he has no better chance of furthering his career and winning medals than he has with us, figure it out.
I must add that I was not one of those that crucified him when he signed, personally I thought it was a great signing not just for the player he is but also for the fact that he was academy trained, but I do believe he has used us at a time when his options were very few if any other than us to put himself in a position to get better money elsewhere.

you are not on your own there fella. think bj and brough could be a great mix. think drew and brough never quite gelled.

If BJ does come back, I think he needs to be given the chance to prove himself - he is clearly a confidence player so fans getting on his back early doors won't help. Just hope if he does come back, he is playing alongside Mr Brough

don't think there is any doubt, if he does come back it will be with brough

All the speculation surrounding Brough is the reason for my comment. I know he still has a year left on his contract, but if someone was prepared to pay a fee for him and he won't sign a new contract with us because its not what he wants that may force the club to cash in now

don't think brough is going anywhere. i wouldn't hnow but can't see why he would want to leave. everything is on the up for him at wakey. finish in the 6, new ground, drew leaving, he will be the main conductor. all the indicators are that he is happy at wakefield with jk and if rumours are to be believed, he has already signed an extension but that is just rumour.

Heres hoping that of all the rumours this one is true

Here we go already...give BJ a chance ...he is a confidence player etc, I can't believe we are are going to resign him. As said before he has all the talent but no heart or desire and NO coach can put that into a player. You can count on one hand the number of decent games he had in 5 years with us, yet there are too many occasions where he shovelled the ball as if i t were a bomb or he just totally disappeard. Really disappointed if this rumour is true !!!!!!

I may be in the minority but I'd be happy to see BJ back. I think along side Brough and behind a good pack we seem to be pulling together you will see what a good player he is. I know some did not like him and he was (and still is) a confidence player - I think that confidence will be there with Brough and a solid pack.

Only time will tell - whether the rumour is true in the first instance and then whether he can play or not if it is.

Have to agree. I'd love to believe different, but he was one of the most frustrating players I've watched at Wakey. He still seems to have he knack of doing well in the try assist stats that he did with us, but watching him week i week out he just seemed too reluctant to take the line on and threw far too many wretched passes. Being superb 1 in 5 games isn't enough and as far as my blood pressure is concerned is worse than just not being good enough full stop. At last Tomlinson was consistently crap.

i'd love to see bj back in a wakey shirt. behind a pack we are putting together, him and brough will be sound.

Was v. optimistic for next season ( Tronc, Millard, Morrison)but are we really progressing by bringing BJ back ?? And as for the Hudson rumour , if this is true , can't honestly see myself buying a match ticket , nevermind renewing my season ticket

BJ went to bradford under a supposed dominating pack didnt do owt.

BJ & Newton 2/3rd's of bradfords most creative and attacking areas and look how they've plumented over the years they've been there. (not blaming those 2 solely) but bradfords attacking threat as of recent years has not really been desirable 5th worst attack this yr.

Maybe im being over pessimistic but i wouldnt want him back.

Neither can I. Would be a ridiculous move on our part. Total waste of another go.

no maybe not that minority , for me the lip never shirked work in defence and a partnership with brough would make that area watertight.

like all the other 2nd chance guys kear as signed

i think a jefferies/brough partnership would be the best half back partnership we have had in many years

No fan of Jeffries much to hit and miss. What worries me is the excuses have already started and he's not even signed: 'He's a confidence player.' 'He's a warm weather player.' Got the talent but not the attitude for me, we should be moving on not back.

Opinions on BJ are divided and thankfully whether he signs or not will not be decided by the likes of me or anyone else on this Board but by John Kear and the BoD.

I've said it before and will say it again TRUST KEAR he will do the right thing and I will respect his judgement whatever that is.

How great would it be if the team and signings/departures were decided by polls on here!

Not really a fan, 1 good game in 4 but would obviously support him if he came back.

I thought there was bad blood with him and the club over a flat or something?
