I expect the highest of things from our club, but I am confident with the team we have and a clean bill of health we can challenge the top 4 and have a good run in the cup. We improved last season and all been well we'll do the same again this season, if not better. I agree that we're still in need of sound cover for halves/hooker, but I'm still hopeful we will make a signing before the season is here. We have some great young talent along with experienced heads in the team, a strong pack but granted we could do with some more depth in the backs. Only one way to find out mate, and I for one can't wait for the season to start!

Tommy Lee?

if wakey go into administration,players contracts are still valid,until their pay stops.if the players,fail to receive their monthly salaries,then i think they are entitled to and free to sign for another club.(i am basing this on a mate who use to play football for Dundee fc,who went into admin,and then subsequently failed to pay the players,and he moved on for free)

cheers, usually the backroom staff get the boot first, then they try to get the best deal for their players to pay creditors

I've been told that the players have been assured that they are ok pay wise for the rest of the year.

Agree with most mate, however I just wonder how we will cope when we get injuries, which are part and parcel of the modern game and not a valid excuse for failure. That why rugby is a squad game and squad is not strong enough. We have a very strong 17 and im sure we will challenge anyone when all players are fit, but a couple of injuries and then were screwed. Its not ideal bring the young lads into a team ravaged with injuries. They need to be introduced when the time is right. I think this year we will be a solid top 8 team and with the luck of the draw have a deacent cup run, which for some is fine, but as Westerman said on radio yesterday " a club like Hull should be winning a trophy every year", and I agree or at least making the semi finals in each comp.

I think we will be a far better team then top 8, top 6 at least, pushing for top 4 IMO. Hopefully with another signing in, and Turner, Lyne, Dowes, Nicko and the other young lads it will be enough. I'm hopeful of a better year then a lot of people think.

Since their salaries will add up to more than the amount owing to HMRC that apparently can't be paid, I'm not sure how any such promise could be honoured. Or believed.

Be very disapointted with Obst.

Just read the sky sports article on Wakey and it seems they really are in the baba being down on forwards and cash generated.
Not the half we need but Blaymire and Murphy would look good in the black and white.

Think I would rather have Blaymire than Murphy.

Neither are better than our starting team, so wouldn't sign either, the only players we shoudl be looking at signing are a decent halfback or another back that would really improve our team.

I would rather play the likes of Briscoe jnr, Lyne, Cunningham than sign these two.

Shows what a poor team Wakefield have, there isn't one player in their first team that I would try and sign.

And we are still waiting for Newton to sing.



'She fell over'

What he said

There isnt one Wakey player id have, let em go to Rovers

They've got no money and are favourites to lose their SL licence in a few months. Difficult to make decent signings under those circumstances.

Who gives a F00k about Sammut,is this how far we've come as a club,pinning our hopes on an average full back,who can't get a job in the NRL.

I'm hearing Hulls chase for a H/B is nearly over

You might want to edit that before the thread police turn up!

i do too. i don`t think were getting one.

Williams to go full time next week then?

Subtle.

Have you ever seen him play? He is just about the complete opposite of average in almost every way, certainly flawed and very raw, definitely not average in any sense.

And Rangi Chase started exactly where? Oh that's right he was only a fringe player at his then NRL club making only 3 first team appearances and an unknown when he came over.
If we got Sammut give the guy a chance before you write him off. Believe it or not but Hull aren't on every players wish list of clubs they'd like to play for. Be realistic.
By the I would have agreed with you had you mentioned Obst instead

to be fair we are probably on a lot of players like to play for list, but very few like to live in lists......
