I'm sorry but the thought of BJ being our main play maker next year leaves me very cold indeed. Nothing against Ben as i think he would link well with Brough but he's not a pivotal player as we know only too well.

The club has to make a stand and for once prevent our biggest player leaving as history tells me if we dont pull our figure out another 1) Topliss to Hull 2) Ellis to Leeds 3) Solomona to Bulls is well on the cards.

If we are serious about building a team for the future Brough must stay or its yet another step back

your sentiment I make 100% right, but in practice I fear not.
It is a wholly unsustainable approach, and would hold the club to ransome, by both players and even worse agents!!

We should make a fair and honest offer, that we can afford and that values the player, JK should then be giving them the big sell and the I have a dream speech, etc.

It is then up to the playerto make up his mind in the time allowed by the club, if not move on, simples!!!!

I know it's not that easy really, but it bloody ought to be!!!

I tend to agree with kinleycat.
There's a global reccession on at the moment,i've not had a wage rise in three years and don't look like getting one next year either.If DB's got anything like a 10% percent increase he should deem himself a very lucky guy,we can only pay wages in line with our crowds and income stream, move away from that and we'd be comitting financial suicide.
I hope DB sees sense and accepts what i'm told is a very good increase in wages,if not we'll have to sit back and see who comes in for him.

agreed sometimes players are happy and they wont rock the boat, we cannot bankrupt the club, hes just a part of it, if he wants to stay and hes gonna be happy then good. if he wants to keep pushing for more then bye bye danny.

I know one thing for sure, DB agent is a top bloke, and agents are no worse than clubs when it comes to contract talks. I just think that DB needs to do what is best for him, we are fans, they (players) are employed by the club.
I dont know what he wants, or what he is being offered, but Wakefield are far from sqeeky clean when it comes down to wages, promises, and loyalty.

He could be talking about the time when he was at FC!

If three or four companies' were after your services would you turn them down out of hand, or would you go for better wages and conditions simple choice really for the sake of a few extra quid do we want to keep one of the best scrum halves' in the league or not right or wrong thats the situation.

Hadnt thoguht of that, fair enough, though his carear did once again go into stagnation until he was loaned out to and eventually signed for cas.

I'm sure as you say, he is a top bloke, I don't even know his name.
It is however in his own best intrest for his client to earn as much money as possible, in order to earn his "10%". that is not in the "clubs" best interests.
I am a fan of wakefield trinity, not one player or one agent, therefor I am scepticle of agents.
You are right also about the "clubs" not being aqueeky clean, not just Wakefield and not just rugby league, which is why we find ourselves in a situation of having to use a third party, reap what you sow!!!
3 into 2 doesn't go for me, the clubs should be trusted to make there best offer and the player should be honest and deal responsibly with their club, basically that's what most fans want.
So come on wakey make him the best offer you can, danny take it, cos we want you to stay, and lets kick on next season and look forward to a bright new future in a shiny new ground!!!!!

In a short career you cant blame anyone for maximising there earnings and if he has the possibility of higher offers elsewhere then you have the possibility of a disgruntled player on your hands?

fair enough, everyone has the right to choose there employer and if someone has the choice they also have right to go to the highest bidder.
All most fans would like is a bit of up front honesty, we do get attached to these guys, and we feel a bit let down when they turn us over.
A bit if honesty is all I ask, and that means from the club to danny aswell!!!
