Just theorising but if he felt he'd worked hard in the 1st half against Catalan and then CC puts the stats up for the all the players 1st half performances and upsets Dave by saying he hasn't worked hard enough, then maybe he just thought sod the tracker.'"
It would be a daft thing to do if he did. It's not like it's a secret.
I think Opta use that tracker too.

| Egg man, your comments are stupid.
We had this scenario several years ago where people shipped out in bulk.
We had our pound of flesh, he was great, is clearly done with us.
So long, and thanks for all the good times.
Use the money wisely and develop someone else.
It's just deja vu, the club know what to do for the best
Up the Trin.

Out of the game?
If he went to another club, he would have to wear a tracker.
I'm not sure what he wants and perhaps he doesn't either

| If he wants to leave why, do any of you actually know. He could be unhappy with the way the team is performing, coached or run. He appeared fine until the lockdown so did this impact his decision.
I don’t know and I doubt any of you do either, if you do please enlighten the rest of us. What about BLM he must have some idea from the players side.

There are quite a lot of posts on here I could put to bed and save a lot of posters making fools of themselves, which I find amusing, but it’s not for me to do so and never would. Regarding Dave I honestly have no idea what reasons and only know what MC as said in the club statement which I applaud by the way. Hope this is okay.

| There is a problem with the culture of the club at the moment and if we are going to survive it needs resolving ASAP.
This isn’t an observation it is a fact and a fact the club are aware of.
No player is bigger than the club, egos in sport can be a great asset to a player but that can also spiral out of control.
The tail has been wagging the dog at Trinity for a while now.
It’s about time the club made a stand and I’m glad they have. It’s the first stage of getting the club back in order.
David has been a wonderful player for Trinity and repaid the faith we put in him. Let’s not pretend he was anything other than a bit part NRL player.
Thanks for the memories Dave, but best for both parties in my opinion if they go their desperate ways.

| Love him as a player big fan. Think he's one player who is box office and will get kids watching us and he's great for the fans.
However loads of people have died of covid and this measure was put in place to save lived and the players and their families health.
People seeem to be suggesting it may not be true e.g. just the clubs saying it but that could possilby result in a law suit so it HAS happened. I support Trinity the club and the players commited to it. Not sure Dave is and not wearing a tracker is a far more disrespectful to his fellow players and their families than taking or not taking the knee.

| This incident aside, the best thing Dave could do is to have an honest conversation with himself. IMO the heights he reached for 6 months whilst at Wakefield was World Class. It wasn't a one off world class game, it was months. If you're capable of that, the question id ask is why hasn't that been consistent throughout his career? He's 31 now and before he knows it he'll be fish and chip paper. If he wants it he's another 5 years of Rugby League. You don't get this time back, it's ticking.
Too many players don't reach their true potential and if he's not careful he'll end his career one of them.

| Can't really see a way back from this, I just don't see the point at all in not wearing the thing!
Like others, I have fond memories of DF ripping up the defence (remember the run down the left wing!) but he now looks a shadow of his former self and I think we have had the best out of him. He's never been super slim for us, but he looks a stone overweight to me, so perhaps for the sake of both parties we should go separate ways.

Guess you have the rose tints if you think he’s only a stone overweight ! He was probably that pre lockdown . Not quite sure what’s going on with him but just can’t understand his mind set. Given his injury problems would have thought a few months off would have been a great opportunity to come back fitter stronger and lighter . As it stands at moment he’s no great loss but he was a one man team just like willie, Solomon’s and Henry Paul.

| Will have fond memories of the guy - the try from 50 metres out against Hull is a particulate favourite. It’s just such a bizarre and disappointing issue to end on.

Well if he does they are going to want him to track and trace as well. It isn't just for Wakefield players.

| MC has done the right thing. He had no option anyway . Hope Dave sees sense . He needs to swollow his pride apologise to MC CC ,the rest of the team and the supporters and start towing the line off the field and start breaking the opposition line on the field.

| Could be just purely Dave doesn’t want to wear the sensors for his own reasons
Everyone in life has there own quirks and opinions through there own life experiences
Let’s see how things go in the coming weeks with him
Hopefully this will resolve its self
We need Dave
He’s a class player
I also feel he needs Wakey too
He’s got a place where he fits in and is loved
Hopefully this will blow over

| Quote ="Egg Banjo"That's been obvious since the first game back when the players decided not to kneel with him. Why would you want to play for a team which hasn't got your back?'"
.
They didn't decide not to kneel with 'him', they agreed to stand united. He put himself on the outside not the other way around. The rest of the squad took advice and also decided to stand for many reasons, one of which was because of the backlash Israel Folau got for not kneeling because of his religious beliefs, as there are some members of our squad who don't kneel to anyone except their god.
To flip your ridiculous post.
Why would they want a team mate who doesn't stand united with them?

| That is the question if he wants away why now when we can demand a fee unless we take our usual line of if a player does not want to play we let them go.
I wonder how you would feel if this was Johnson for example. If Fifita is causing a problem then I guess nothing further will follow if not then we can probably expect more to follow suit. I guess for balance we should hear from Fifita.
I hope we are not regressing to the Webster era because we could get by with a poor squad due to the fact of how relegation was decided, next season we will not have this luxury.
