iknow sometimes you are a bit off the wal mate but i think broadly you have got this one right. the player you already have has far more potential than what they are offering. danny is a good player and a great bloke. kyle you don't need and andy raleigh , although i don't know him , you have already got better players than him at the club who would do a better job . in all don't think it is a good deal for wakey.just looks like hudds having a clear out.

My understanding is the 1873 scheme is about signing and keeping all the top prospects & promising youngsters who haven't made it to the first team. This with Murphy would appear to be something else, take your pick it's either, Murphy wants away because he's been offered more money, or the Coach doesn't rate him, or Trinity got a very good deal for him.

Mine too. It's about attracting and developing young players before they make it to the first team.

Being cynical, though, in the light of what may be about to happen, you could say it's about the fans funding the academy and the club/owner cashing in on the profits.

Untill they develope and another club comes calling.

Can you explain how that works, Raliegh and Kirmond are squad players (both decent squad players who will add to the team) why do we have to let a player go who wants to be at Wakey and is more than a squad player, i just don't get it.

Two homegrown british centres out and two Aussies in, is that really the way forward for us.

Not in my view. Although I ca accept George probably was a lost cause and needed replacing, the whole Murphy thing may have been avoidable.
