| I reckon about 50k would have sold but it was a decent choice of stadium all things considering.

Give it a rest, Wakefields youth policy up until administration was every bit as good if not better than Castlefords. You are the one who is deluded my friend. So you have tied down 4 players one of whom isn't British WOW no BIG WOW.
We have signed Johnson, Marriano and Amor long term, so snap and again BIG WOW.
If you read the franchise reports it singled Wakefield out as having the BEST and I repeat BEST youth development programme in SL so don't peddle your pap to me.
That said it's still poor and so is yours, just for once try not to be parochial and blinkered and accept reality. Honest to god you're the ultimate photo fit for the typical myopic blinkered fan. Oh wait there's bloomers and co yet to comment so I take that back.
Both teams should be brimming over with local players with people like Chase and Tim Smith begging for a game, the fact that you seem to see the pathetic efforts made by yourselves as planning long term is truly sad.

| Superleague Licence report for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats - Grade C
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats’ application confirmed that new ownership has injected enthusiasm, capital and business acumen into the club. The business plan provided achievable targets for growing the business, and a realistic strategy to reach these targets. Wakefield’s performance on the field and player supply across the current Licence period has been acceptable and their community programme is excellent. However commercial, financial and governance performance in this Licence period has been poor, with the club entering administration in February of 2011. The club continues to face a number of challenges. The stadium position is uncertain, and the significant challenge for the club will be to deliver the commercial and supporter growth required to allow the club to trade in a sustainable manner whilst improving competitiveness on the pitch.
Can't see anywhere in there that states "Wakefield having the BEST and I repeat BEST youth development programme in SL".
Deluded, Pap-peddling - erm ??

Indeed; that would explain the over-reliance and continued over reliance on overseas players, whereas pre-administration we stayed within the limits set out by the RFL without any exemptions whatsoever. Even now we only have four overseas players.
Quote: vastman "We have signed Johnson, Marriano and Amor long term, so snap and again BIG WOW.'"
But none of them are your own youth products are they Vasty? Equally, they're not on four or five year deals are they Vasty? Long term indicates just that - long term. Not mid or short term.
Quote: vastman "If you read the franchise reports it singled Wakefield out as having the BEST and I repeat BEST youth development programme in SL so don't peddle your pap to me.'"
No it doesn't. That's Wakefield fans rumour-mongering again. See the above post; 'Wakefield's player supply has been acceptable'. In contrast, Castleford's saysThat said it's still poor and so is yours, just for once try not to be parochial and blinkered and accept reality. Honest to god you're the ultimate photo fit for the typical myopic blinkered fan. Oh wait there's bloomers and co yet to comment so I take that back.'"
Except we have produced an England international in Michael Shenton, an England train-on squad/England Knights member in Joe Westerman, and England Knights members in Joe Arundel and Jonathan Walker. Additionally, our squad contains approximately 13 homegrown players all who have played first-team rugby in Super League along with a further three promoted this term. It is in no way blinkered - the evidence is patently in front of you.
Quote: vastman "Both teams should be brimming over with local players with people like Chase and Tim Smith begging for a game, the fact that you seem to see the pathetic efforts made by yourselves as planning long term is truly sad.'"
Why would Chase have to beg for a game. He's a quality player. You build a team around him; you cannot replace him. Tim Smith on the other hand, I (and no doubt others) remain to be convinced on that front.

If you repeat something in capital letters, it still doesn't make it true, as anyone who has actually read the franchise reports will confirm.
BTW, thanks for the mention. However, I don't think I'm worthy of all the hype.

| Can you actually mention "Rangi Chase" and "Tim Smith" in the same sentence and get away with any credibility ?
