If you were a current member of our squad how would you feel. They are reading in the press that they may not get paid in October because the money is tight and the clubs total ambition for next season is to survive. They are being asked to put their ambitions on hold for a season in the hope that we come out the other end still in super league. They don't know who they will be playing with or who will be left when the season starts.
We are asking a lot from them, the future of our super league existence will be in their hands plus some on loan and some from the youth team. All the time they have the continuing uncertainty after all it is their careers. I am not surprised if many wanted out why stay at Wakefield.
I think those that pull on the Wakefield shirt next season deserve our full support it is not their fault that we are in the position we are, to be honest without the money we will get for some of them we would not be here now. The improvement in our squad has been a benefit because in the past we have had one player worth anything in the transfer market. I fear however, we will be unrecognisable from the team that played this season. It will be interesting to see how many we have when training starts.
In conclusion having said all the above I think we would be stupid to think we could survive if we sell more of the current squad but that will be down to MC & KH who have taken on the responsibility for our future.

Where would they go if not at Wakey? Brisbane Broncos?

We can't have more than 3 top line and 6 decent players that could get into another SL team.

Unless they all go to London, where everyone of them will get a start.

I'm sure people propagating unsubstantiated rumours on Internet forums is really useful though.

You should ask the question of the club because I have not read anything that would fill me with optimism.
With regards our current squad, we have sold Smith & Amor, accepted an offer for Cockayne. We have at the moment rejected an offer for Kirmond plus rumours persist regarding Aiton &Poore. That's not bad out of a team of 17 and much better than in previous seasons. I thought we had finally stopped being a selling club but this off season could be the worse .

Would you rather have a team or no team at all?

Without no team, there'd be nothing for you to discuss!

The optimism should come from the fact that you have someone who wants to turn the club around and is proactively acting on what fans want. It may take 3 months, 2, 5 or 10 years (who knows what may happen) to sort the club out and properly rebuild for a sustainable future but it is ultimately the fans that keep the club in business and give the club the impetus to compete. I say the same thing to Cas fans.

You may have to sacrifice the odd player and bring in a couple of loans to tide you over but if they do a job and let you finish 12th then the job will be a good one. And I suspect the target right now is ensuring your club finishes 12th and above.

Trinity need not be a selling club if their supporters backed them to the tune of 4k adult season ticket holders. While ever we're hovering below 2k money has to be raised somehow.

If Aiton goes to Leeds put in a offer for Godwin as he was out of contract @ Salford though the fans wanted him to stay.

The only point I can really get from your post is that the players are having a hard time and need our support.
I wholeheartedly agree.

Right, you're posts seem very similar to tryscoresrs, so I'll ask you the same question, have you renewed your season ticket?

Because every negative poster I read haven't renewed theirs, and you know why? In my opinion the negative one's only need the slightest hint of a reason not to re new, it might be Ted, it might be JE, it might be AG, but if you are of that mentality you'll not put your money up..... Why? Because they're all hoping someone else will get involved!

If we bought Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith & Sonny Bill Williams Agent XIII would still be on here moaning & whinging about something.

the future super league existence as always been in the hands of the players . Most of them are well paid individuals and who at times with a little more application last season could have secured better results and we may have finished in the 8 ...we showed we were capable of competing with the best it was sometimes with those seen as equal to us they let us down...v Cas at Manchester , v Bulls and Hull KR away , and Bulls at home . With regard to the finances no its not directly their fault we are where we are we could have offered them less money and they may have chosen not to join us , then we would be where we are now risking losing best players and signing more unknowns. Truth is the club are doing now what should have been done 2 years ago signing players on contracts we can afford and not on ones we cannot.
