| I know it's not very classy but I think we should be trying to get the likes of Kopczak, Whitehead, Lulia, Elima signed up. I wonder if this will affect Sykes as presumably we pay the Bulls and they pay him.

You think Tom Burgess would go to Wakefield when he's being touted in Australia. I'll have what he's having. Stick with rejects like Paul Sykes.

Presumably (don't know for certain) but we should be able to make Sykes a permanent fixture if we wanted him. I agree we should be looking at the 4 players mentioned, it does sound harsh but other clubs will be looking to do so; should we hold back on moral grounds?

| I dont think we should be gloating here. Although we came through the other side and our club is making great strides forward, just think back 18 months or so since.
Personally I have much sympathy with the vast majority of their fans (excluding the ones who took pleasure in our own plight) and although many of us can now say "I told you so"
this is not a good day for the sport.

I agree with you, unfortunately it's a harsh reality that unless a wealthy benefacter steps from the shadows PDQ, players will have to be sold off to pay creditors. If WTW can benefit from that rather than our rivals then we should. That's not to say I don't sympathise with the Bulls fans. I'd rather the Bulls weren't in this mess, however they are and if there's an opportunity to strengthen our squad we should take it.

I agree, it is very sad what has happened, and you do think to the fans with how we were feeling
It begs the question how can this happen so soon after licencing!

| Thank goodness the fans didn't chuck half a million quid at their ailing club, to prop them up for a further few weeks!
Oh wait...

I've no problem with us picking up their players, that's just business, but I dont think any Wakefield Trinity fans should be gloating or taking pleasure outh of the Bulls current situation.

| We were very lucky to come out of admin as we did.
I hope Bradford have something planned or are as lucky as we were (well maybe half as lucky). A tense 10 days for the fans.
Anybody get an invite to the barbie?

It stinks TBH. Hardworking people have stumped up cash to prop them up and then a couple of weeks later another financial black hole opens up. Either the management were incompetant bordering on negligent when they asked fans for that cash or they knew perfectloy well that the cash would release them from any PGs they had entered and were out to save their own necks. Perhaps if the cash had gone in to some kind of supporters trust rather than being gifted to the club, they'd have been able to salvage something out of this mess.

Which is exactly what several people said on here when the whole debacle started - the advice wasn't welcomed by some Bulls fans.
