At least our chairman was prepared to face the press, well those who weren't peeping through the locked gates at whatever Belle Vue is called nowadays after your club decided having the press around wasn't such a good idea. That was embarassing, they expected the chop & we all know it, sickening to see them celebrating about an hour after the Cru debacle became public.
Shameful.

Well said.

now now children! dont let this news turn into a slanging match again. wakey are in SL, we are not. however future looks very bright at Fax, and wakey dont seem to know whats going on, which seems to happen quite alot. im sure if we keep building and challenging for honours we'll do just fine.

great news about matt james, was quality for us before, and was a stand out player at barrow (when he played). we have effectivly signed a SL quality prop for 3 months, and if the rumours are true about wakeys salary cap, i cant see him going back anytime soon.

im sure MJ is delighted with the wakey board if this is the case.

"heres your squad number, now go play for halifax."

strange one, and makes you think about the way certain 'SL' clubs opperate, i suggest not very 'super'.

Very bitter. You didn't deserve your place otherwise you'd have got the invitation. Amazing how you know the finances of our club. Weve just sold nearly 4000 season tickets and over 1000 shirts in less than a month. James has been loaned to you to get him up to scratch if he's needed for us in super league, at the moment he isn't ready for super league week in week out, u20 rugby wouldn't improve him where as a stint at a top end champ club will improve him no end. Good to see your club have put aside their difference and formed a professional working relationship with us. Now it's just the fans who need to realise that you weren't ready and hope your club takes the rfl advice in order to gain a franchise next time whether it be in place of us Cas Salford Bradford (who are going backwards in my opinion) or whoever else.

By the way I beat no grudge against fax and would like them back at the top table. Used to love days out at thrum hall (proper rugby league ground) and have enjoyed my visits to the shay. There's nothing you or I can do re the last licences but just remember if us Cas or any others fail to live up to our promises then we have been told we can expect to be replaced. At this moment in time we have done everything we have said we will do in our application. If your club are making the improvements demanded of them then I'm sure if there are any slip ups you will be the first club the rfl look at to promote and the I ones going cant have any qualms about it as we all know the rules. Happy new year and enjoy your rugby

If you are going to go on a rant then get your facts rights. The 50% rule was abolished a few years ago. James was brought in before Agar got the job and quite frankly he just doesn't rate him. He has been trying to get rid since he took over without any success. He will be way down the pecking order so the move makes sense. It has nothing to do with the salary cap, we are well under that.

Yep

Back to james he looked out of it on boxing day at Headingley either he aint good (or perhaps fit) enough for SL or needs to some match practice, 3 months with Fax should sort that out either way.

Quality signing, would be nice to get him for longer. Best prop in this league AINEC. Cant wait to see him rip it up for us.

Wakey fans Your club has been run like crap for years. You have lied to stay in SL based on empty promises. You have NO chance of even getting close to making a final let alone winning a trophy. You wont be in a new stadium in the next 12 months or have a WC game. Yet you all believe Fax fans are bitter. Keep living in a dream world as cant wait for your little bubble to burst when you get kicked out of SL next time. 6 months down the line after the SL announcements Wakefield are still the shame embarrassment as they were in July. Thankfully Fax are in way better shape. Good luck in your season Wakey as you will need it with Agar and co who have such a great record
