Thought he played well today, as he has done for the whole season to be fair. Not the type of player who you are gonna be devastated about losing, but a good solid player who's done a good job for us this season.

Wish him well at Leigh and think he'll be a great signing for them.

Thanks and good luck Ricky!

Have we heard owt from'tother (wrong) side of th'hill?

Yes - Leigh have announced him on a 3 yr contract

Ahh well, had a good run from him this year - sad to see him go but we will get over it.

Good luck Ricky, hope things work out for you.

Don't think Bibey has ever had such a continuous run of decent form. In the three seasons (?) we've had him the comments from the fans have been generally positive. But at the end of the day it ALWAYS comes down to money.

thx ricky and well done. hope to see a proper send off because we saw him having his photo taken with his son at the end of the game on the pitch. good servant to the club unlike some..

Yep on all counts, we have had good value from the guy overall.

Well done Ricky and thanks.

When Ricky and Richard Moore signed I thought John Kear had lost his marbles....

Why on earth would he want to sign such rubbish...


Well I was wrong... on both counts...

Ricky has been the epitomy of a good steady prop forward. Puts in the tackles and the yards... always makes himself available for hard work.

I can honestly say I have enjoyed watching Ricky in a Wakefield shirt and I am sorry to see him move on... good luck and thanks for the effort and hard work the team.

Yes agree with all you say, JK should be very proud with what he as done with these players.

Thought Ricky was fantastic again yesterday. Shame he is going but hopefully Tronc will prove to be an even better replacement.


Good luck with Leigh Ricky, thanks for your efforts, now just finish on a high with a blast at the playoffs!!

Well said. I wish him well, especially his primary reason is to ensure a career that will support him after rugby is over.
Good luck Ricky. Thanks for your efforts at Wakefield

He thinks yesterday may possibly be his last game for us this season, he has been playing most of his recent games with a shoulder injury & is due to have an operation this week.

Good luck Ricky and thanx. Hope you help Leigh push on.

Sad to hear that, he deserves a crack at the playoffs and at least a bit of a send-off from the fans.

Thanks for all your efforts Ricky and good luck with the plastering and the rugby at Leigh.

Hopefully he will wait until we see what the disciplinary committee have in store for Korki and Stosic.

Could be a real struggle if we lose all three of them.

2 year deal with option for further year!

Hope it goes well for him there

Yep thats what it says on express website.

Wouldnt be too disappointed with John Kear guys. I believe it was Ricky's choice to leave as the timing is perfect for us. New coach, new players, new board members, new stadium and as some have said earlier a good push for a SL franchise in the next 24 months. Ricky is a local lad who is going to use the next 2 years to work in the family business and learn a trade for future life. Luckily for us we are probably going to get him at the peak of his career as props often get into their best years 27+. You lot seem to like him and plenty of thanks for his efforts this year so I am looking forward to him destroying Championship teams whilst being supported by Robbie Paul and one or two others.

P.S - Dont think we out bid you at all but the a good wage at Leigh coupled with a full time job probably does give him more income!

Thats fair enough just need to be careful with the new cap they have in place in your league, that is an interesting move by the league!

What does his family do?

There plasterers i believe.

Not on the tiles round westgate though

good luck to him.hope he does well at leigh.sounds like thats where the lad wanted to be career wise and family wise. should fit in great with milward, robbie paul , leuleuai and one or two more that may be on their way. looks like leigh mean business next season.

leuluai from salford? not a bad player him

yes i agree and i think they are not getting the best from him at salford at the moment. hope i haven't spoke too soon, but him and ricky should make a good partnership

Been in the building trade years, cracking family and his dad would be welcome onto the Leigh board!!!

they will be trying to get them selves noticed and peak at the right time of the next franchise bid
