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

Yep me too......but look who starts most of the threads!

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.

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

Why can't it be defended?
The job of our club is to get the best team it can with the resources it's got.
We seem to be doing that. The situation might not be to everybody's liking but if it's the way it has to be, so be it. Tbh, whilst you and the likes of MG are perfectly entitled to your views, you come across as pompous, self righteous g1ts with too much time on your hands.
You worry about your own team and let us worry about ours.

How long have you been in SL?

No point in an argument with such a one-eyed snake as you seem to be.

I've put my view across. You decide what you will - as if you haven't already, Mr Judge, Mr Jury and Mr Executioner!
