| Quote: RebelRebel "Roller coasters are all well and good when there's something genuine at stake, mate. It keeps people interested and on their toes. Unfortunately, I doubt the morbid fascination of the Wakefield public will be turned on by this particular dilema.
We've lost our star player to Huddersfield. One of our showcase signings has been banned for drug abuse. If rumours are to be believed, another of our showcase signings wants back to Aus, and the other two have failed to make any significant impact on this season at all.
I hate to say it, but I think we need a "sexy" signing to keep the season afloat. Either that, or we'll be relying on our youngsters again to bail us out points-wise, and tremendous though they are, they don't seem to fire the imagination of the floating supporters.
If this story is true, I feel very sorry for the coaching staff and the board. I'd be gutted if I'd put all that effort into assembling a good, competitive squad to see it thrown back in my face like this. I'm in a very dark place at the moment, and that's not because the light bulbs don't work...'"
come out of the cupboard and stop hiding,
Newton was a gamble and it didn't pay off but didn't cost us dearly,
Broughy was going to go anyway so at least a deal was struck before he went for nowt,
Tronc is a shocking loss to us as it leaves us short in the pack and can't expect the others to fill that gap,
Southernwood makes me feel he is taking a gamble to break into SL sooner than we would of used him as Jay Pitts did
heard another rumour but not going to repeat this one as this will send the fans wild,
so bring on the rain on friday and the duel with cas and looking forward to the monday Wigan game too

Snowie no harm in sharing it, it will get buried in the bad news we are all having to come to terms with at the present

It's how it's preceived by the fans/public at large that counts as much as on the field, at least as far as attendances are concerned. Newton may have been a gamble (one we could afford to take because we have plenty of cover in that area), but he's still a name, and love him or hate him, he could still draw people in.
Brough may have been going anyway, but Cooke as a replacement is just as big a gamble as Newton, and will need time before he shows us what he can do.
Tronc would be/is a big loss, as you say, and we don't have an immediate replacement. For all the praise that people have heaped on Gledhill, you can't expect a young lad like that, with all his talent and enthusiasm, to replace Tronc.
Through no fault of the club's, I have the feeling we've been right royally shafted. I'm glad you still have the enthusiasm. What I fear is that a lot of the Wakey public won't, which will make the remainder of the season and next season all the more difficult. It goes without saying that I hope I'm wrong.

| Is the offloading of Brough and now what seems little effort to keep Tronc to a contract all finance related?
I do hope not as the club has progressed well on the field over the last couple of years...........sadly it seems maybe not as positive behind the scenes?
I do feel for the true rugby fans at Wakefield

| TRB; just reading through some of your post tonight, when you compare them with your usual ones it begs the question, how many beers have you had this evening? The spelling and grammar has gone right out the window!!!

| I may have missed it but there seems to be very little mention of us getting anything by the way of compensation/a fee if tronc is gonna be allowed to leave. it's too easy for a player to turn round and say he's homesick and then him expect to be allowed to leave his contract. if he wants to leave it has to be on our terms. if he doesn't like it then tough, whats he gonna do play deliberately shiit all year? what will that do to his chances of getting another club?
unless brisbane have a wad of cash or a player to throw our way then for me it's tough, you're staying and if your missus doesn't like it then tell her to piiss off home.
For god sake we are talking about a monster of a man here where the hell are his balls!
SHANE STOP BEING A PUSSY AND AT LEAST SEE IT THROUGH UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON WHEN WE CAN GET A REPLACEMENT(S) IN

You obviously remember the CVA, players not being paid, every season scraping finger nails to stay above water, the volunteers of this club sweating buckets just to keep us afloat. We done 5th last year, and are in a position to accept the same this year.
Crisis. WHAT BLOODY CRISIS?. We are going thro' a transition. And out of which we will still be WTRLFC.
