If he does go I can see MC getting a return if not a fee then a player at least on loan for the rest of the season. Leeds been shopping Parcell and Cuthbertson around recently. One of those on a reduced deal similar to that miller signed after leaving hull might be worthwhile

Doubt either Parcell or Cuthbertson will leave mid season now. Think they along with Garbutt were offered the chance to go in the offseason to free up cap space and whichever went first would mean the others stayed.

We have a winner.

That said we have to offer him that contract.

Is Fifita a quota player or non fed trained? If it's the former, we couldn't fit him in anyway unless we moved someone else on.

His Tongan heritage means he counts as a Kolpack so is non-fed. Anyway, it's a non-story.

RE the Fifita rumours, reliably informed there's no substance in it. Club, player and his representatives all surprised to see that earlier today.

I doubt his representative was!!!!!

It's easy to act surprised!

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if one time a representative said “yeah I know where that rumour came from...wink wink”

Losing Big Dave would be gutting hes a fan favourite and our best prop! Would be a disaster. Cant we just swap Randell for Parcel.

So if he's in contract now. How come they can talk to him?

Im sure they are interested. Why wouldn't they be.
They could bolster their pack with another 3-4 of our pack as theirs is pretty weak.
Whether we sell any is another thing altogether.

A few years ago it could be possible but not now. The days of clubs unsettling our players are over hence I do not believe it to be anything because they forget it is no longer considered a lack of ambition to play for Wakefield.
