Quote sortedshaun="sortedshaun"aparently wakefeild are offering 12 month contracts because there is huge speculation in yorkshire that they wont get a franchise when there super league contract is up.
i know its been open for discussion but ive heard that widnes have more chance than wakefeild because of there facilities ect.
it seems to me all the franchises have been decided thus wakefeild not wanting to cripple themselves in the lower division'"
Except that the contracts would be void if they lost their franchise. More likely they're not convinced by his quality and don't want to be saddled with him long term if he doesn't turn out to be any good
