Quote: jonh "The problem is Wakefield generally have a smaller pot of players to focus on than others, and not just because of finances.
Whilst ever we continue to flirt with survival it is hard to attract or engage with players early because of the uncertainty around our status as a SL club. Most of the top clubs have the luxury of doing their business early and get it wrapped up early long before realistically we can. What we are generally left with is the B or C list of players who have not been able to secure a deal which makes finding the gems all the more challenging.

We are starting a 100m race 5 seconds after most other clubs and will always continue to do so unless we break the cycle.'"

What makes it more worrying is we will potentially competing for said B-C players with championship clubs like Leigh and Fev. It’s just a shame we have never been able to build off the back of top 5 seasons.

At the start of this season I would have happily excepted a 11th 10th place at best finish and hopefully SL survival providing the rich clubs don’t get their way with a reduction to 10 clubs.
6 points from the opening 8 games to be honest is 2 more than I expected.
The player recruitment has been very poor Gaskell Lineham Hood Whitbread Adebiyi Minns a combination of past their sell by date and panic signings to make up the numbers.
Added to this the club have hung onto the likes of Tupou Arona Ashurst for at least 2 seasons too long maybe 3
Having said this providing SL status is retained I do see a brighter future providing the likes of Batchelor Bowes Kershaw Croft Walker Bowes Murphy Hall stay with the other senior players.

Maybe there's a reason the club bought those players, supposing there were not the players available that the club wanted for the money the club had to spend, and just because you and a few more on here think in your opinion the recruitment was poor does not mean that in the clubs opinion they were in, they held the same thoughts as you that they were past they're sell by date or were desperate to make up the numbers with panic buys.
At least then it's good the clubs doing something right in giving these youngsters a chance eh.

Quote: lampyboy "Is there anything you don't know abou give it a rest.
Like I have said in the past you attempt to start arguments with many posters. Name calling seems to be your favourite pass time, and before you say it isn't take a look at your posts.
You boring and to be honest your scants don't deserve a reply.'"


You started the debate regarding the club's ambitions - get real

I've not called you any names - get real

Boring - subjective opinion from you.

Deserve a reply? - read I have not got a worthwhile reply.

Like a few others, if you can't debate the issues you comment on then leave the room. Stop crying foul every time somebody refuses to go along with you - in other words, get real.
