While the current economic situation is so volatile i have to ask who would you side with in this situation
Player A who is looking after himself and his family (As the majority of us are now)
Or
WAkefield Trinity RLFC (under mr Carter} who knows the extent of what it costs to run the club based upon income or lack of it
As a business owner I know where my vote would go and while it may be harsh sometimes cuts have to be made and you maybe have to take one step back to take two steps forward.

A rugby career is short and earnings have to be maximised I fully understand that but this is unprecedented times and if you sign for a club line wakefield in the first place you are probably not guaranteed top wages so then why expect to not have cuts when the club has no income.

For me the club always comes first players have a shelf life and while we should look after them as much as possible the club should still be there when they have gone

An incentive to players could be based around league position at end of season I don’t know the exact figures for league positions or if that has altered with covid but maybe bonus could be paid pro rate to wage cuts to finish higher up,the table

When all is said and done thousands have died during this terrible situation and I have lost a friend and a family member but life has to go on and an agreement between club and players has to be reached that is realistic my one hope is that the players union are talking to clubs having an understanding of there income / expenditure and not just talking to as a blanket representation for all players no matter what club they play for.

The old stand by for retired RL players was to take a pub: Brian Briggs, Budgie Firth, Ken Trail et al. Mind you that was in the day when there still were pubs.

I've tried to restrict criticism to the political aspect, not the social aspect.
I think "Mick Amos" is possibly the most reasonable, level-headed and affable poster on this forum, (Can you lend us a tenner please, Mick?)

Hull K R players have announced tonight they’ve agreed pay cut with club and ready for training on Monday. Hopefully similar scenario for us.
