No, it isn't, there are two sides to every story and I doubt you know either one. MC and CC don't strike me as the kind of men who would cut their noses off to spite their faces, do they? They offered I suspect exactly what they thought he was worth and what we could afford.

As for Brough and Kirmond what the hell do they have to do with the price of fish?

Stop stirring for the sake of it, a deal couldn't be done, end of.

Salford have signed Kevin Brown to replace Jackson Hastings

Hampshire is off to Toronto isn't he?

Well he just found out 47 minutes ago that he wasn`t staying at Wakefield so I doubt anyone knows where he is going yet, including himself.

I'd add Joe Arundel to that list - he's put in a transfer request.

Even more disgraceful is the fact the he found out they were letting him go when he refreshed his Twitter feed. Shocking treatment.

I suppose they had to replace him with someone, such a shame they couldn't hold on to him.

From past comments made by himself and the Wakefield chairman, I dont think there is much love between the two. Probably Wakefields idea of getting one over on him

“Getting one over on him” is Not a particularly smart way to conduct business. Not going to help with their recruitment in the future if players leave on bad terms. It’s a small world the RL one and players’ recommendations can make the difference between a signing made and a signing lost.

I agree with you about this torrid affair, Being out in the Public domain hasn't help and with the club alleging trying to offload him to you (hudds) it didn't go down too well either.

Maybe it was a ploy by Chester when he banned the players from logging into Facebook and Twitter last week.

Yeah right and you know that to be fact do you, well I seriously doubt that to be the case but hey players never get it wrong in the heat of the moment do they, I mean social media is such a reliable carrier of the truth

This is the clubs statement, “And finally, it has not been possible to agree a new deal with Ryan Hampshire, despite every effort being made. I wish him well in the future.”

So I'd like you to tell me which one you believe and why? Go on stun me.

His contact talks have been going on for months, just like last year and he's choose to sign nothing and wanted money the Club either wouldn't or couldn't pay. He was on a one years deal and it came to an end because he couldn't agree terms, I'd say he'd have known way before anyone else that he wasn't coming back, you know because he hasn't signed a deal. The Club just left a thanks explaining that he'd be leaving, plus other players who are moving on.

Heard Hampshire was off to Huddersfield?

I like Rocky, though I feel his strength of versatility is actually his major weakness. He's a decent winger, a decent FB, can do a job in the halves , but does he fully nail down a position ? Think he played all but 1 minute for Wakefield all season though, plus his home town club . A shame a deal couldn't be sorted. I think both will move on from it reasonably positively.
