Does say that Bulls will be due compensation as per RFL rules, so at least we get some brass for him I suppose. Would still rather have kept him though, but like Mat said, you put a value on someone and if they want more than that, let them go. A good approach to take I would agree.

How come we'll get compo?

It's something to do with being under a certain age and us offering him a contract on at least the same terms. If that's the case and they choose to go elsewhere, you have to be compensated. To avoid clubs just stealing all the best young talent. Same rules in football.

Someone else probably knows specifics, but it's something along those lines.

Hudders certainly like nicking our juniors. However will this one turn out to be a Larne Patrick or an Abdul Khan?

He looked really good from what I saw of him.
I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

A Keal Carlisle.

Was that the Asian kid that was signed and the club made a big announcement about? Because I remember that announcement but don't remember hearing a single thing more about him afterwards. Always wondered what had happened to him.

£100 for every week he's spent at the club based on 48 weeks a season.

wardle signed at beginning of 2008 season Iirc so we should be inline for 11-12k from hudds. not a massive amount but could come in handy to put in the pot if we're looking to pay the odd transfer fee.

I think St Helens would wnat more than 11k Matt

Wakefield supporters saying in Obst thread that he ins't joining us.



I really hope it's not Raynor, at 32 he's too much of a risk.

He's playing in Australia for Belrose Eagles in the Manly comp. He's a mate of mine, I went over recently and went to the third state of origin match with him, followed by an almighty pi**up!!

Totally agree. Not to mention the negligible wage he will have been on. Sure, there will be a backline pecking order, but then in his cameos, as you elude to, he pushed through pretty well.

A poor decision.

but one that was taken out of our hands. we offered him a significantly improved deal at a level we thought he was worth. Hudds offered more. should we pay him more than we think he's worth just to retain him?. Exactly same situation reardon put us in when he went to wire and generally we were proved right in our valuation on that one.
