A long term strategy of continuing to have a very large number of overseas journeymen. Very poor.

| Just a question, but would Jay Pitts have stayed at Wakefield if he was being played every week? He's gone to Leeds where he probably won't be in the first 17 to start with.
10 overseas players in a team is way too many, and can't be defended on any grounds at all.

Who knows, but i do know Jay would have ended up at Leeds at some point (given the chance) its always been his club so i expect once Leeds got mentioned that would be him on his way.
10 overseas is more than i would like to see at Wakey (or any club) but hey we are just fans.

He was playing each week,the only games he missed were due to injury.

| Well its a step in the right direction,because it was 11 last year.
However it is still very poor to have 10 non fed players in a squad.
But what does that say about the rest of the clubs that have 7/8 in their squad?In my opinion that they are not very poor,just poor.
Barring a couple of exceptions(Rhinos...)all clubs have too many non fed players in their squads.
Unfortunately the clubs put club before country and we are no where nearer reducing overseas signings than we were 10 years ago.
I dont have the answers to stop it happening,because the game tried,but clubs broke rank and challenged the quota systems and went looking for exemptions.

Too right TRB, the botch up over a 'macedonian passport' and having 10 or 11 'non fed trained' players and the fact you have kept having so many of these players is very disappointing.

| As I already posted my take on the issue on the Trinity board and openly admitted my disappointment that the club are relaying heavily on imports this season. I’m happy the number of imports has been reduced but sad that it is Stosic who is going, especially when the club needlessly signed up Ben Jeffries.
Apparently it was a clause in Stosic’s contract that he needed to obtain his Macedonian passport to enter into the second year of his contract. He could’ve also represented Serbia in the recent internationals and he would’ve been registered as a non-fed player but he went to the USA on a pre-booked holiday instead.
Neither side are blameless in this scenario, Stosic and his agent should’ve sorted this out a while ago and the club should’ve put plans in place to guard against losing their best prop, i.e. not filling up the 5 quota places before this issued had been resolved.
Still if he does leave Trinity then any club with the available space should take a look at him. He would make an excellent signing for the Crusaders.

the rfl did once help you out, they deducted you 4 points in the season 2001/2002 and upon appeal it was reduced to 2 points , thus relegating the giants .. normally i dont abuse wAKEY AS THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THE FACILITIES THEY HAVE but sometimes i take exception to the bikering

| RL in general, and Wakey in particular, are beginning to put their house in order, but it will take time.
As support to these facts I point to the 7 products of our Champion Junior Academy side 2009 who have been promoted to the first team squad.
Wakey are working within the rules as set, but are also well aware of the spirit of these agreements. The current policy is the correct one for our club at this time.
Our junior development is very highly regarded by the RFL.

Your junior development may be spot on and I would applaud that but when the munchkins can't get into the team because of a two-bit, tin-pot Aussie you are making a rod for your own back. They youngsters have a sense of belonging to Wakefield and would run their blood to water for the club, yet are dispossessed by several over-the-hill pension seekers.
When the Championship and Superleague are filled with disillusioned Ex-Wakie young guns you will see what I mean.

Not true.
It is true that we have not produced sufficient quality or quantity of players for several years - we are not alone in this as other clubs have had to put their houses in order as well. The ones we have produced have been able to find a way through to the first team, and eventually the current crop of youngsters will hopefully do exactly that. But you have to have the quality and quantity coming through if you are going to create a void in the shop window.
It won't happen overnight - but it IS happening!

Sadly you seem to be confusing starting a thread with bickering.
The thread is on a legitimate topic. However some wakey fans can do little more than write personal insults (see chapsters playground jibes) or continually indulge themselves in off topic rants (see dee hell going on about sugar daddies etc).
Now, back to topic
