Anyone know if we are still paying this guy?

If he's still contracted to us then I would imagine we are.

Got shot down in flames on here at start of season when I was slagging him for taking weeks to get over a slight groin strain. I was proved right again. He should have been sacked.

I think some people are being a bit harsh without us knowing the full facts. If he is injured he is injured. No point rushing a guy back too soon and risking another injury.

Plus with our newly formed squad there is competition for places. We don't see how they perform in training nor do we hear doctors reports. Maybe he is fit just not selected?

I don't have big issue about injured players taking a pay cheque when they are under contract. Injuries are part of the game. Everyone heals at different timescales.

Without further facts I'd rather people gave the benefit of the doubt.

Could it be Ian Shirk

And what would the grounds for dismissal be?

Breech of contract, signed to play rugby not sit on sidelines nursing imaginary injuries.

You're starting to sound like NGBC with that - good, you were right well done

He is takin the p##s

Why judge the guy when you don't KNOW the reason why he isn't playing. I like to see somebody call him Ian Shirke to his face not hiding on here!

Kirke played well against Halifax and scored 2 tries in the CC but has had a very poor injury prone season.

No mention of injuries by BS so it must be lack of form. Its a real shame as Trinity could do with all their players firing on all cylinders. ..hope he proves people wrong in the middle 8s and if given the opportunity plays really well.

Didn’t he wriggle out of coming to us a couple of years back, then when his time was up at Leeds he begrudgingly rocked up at B.V.

Terrible signing by whomever, a total waste of a salary.

Yes he did he only come in end as he had no where to go.its ok say he injured but he plays 1 games then misses how many not as if its been one injury and he always bragging on twitter what excersises hes up to.money spent on daddycool been more well spent than kirke.he as been a waste and sandeltrinityfan i would day to his face IAN KIRKE IS A JOKE

He was available the other week but not selected. Maybe BS wants to develop and improve players with the right attitude. We have shipped a few players out already but maybe we are keeping hold of him just in case
