Says who? He wanted out when we were heading to NL 1, not the same thing at all is it.

| Quote: Trinity Till Death "I don't understand the need to put the boot in or slag off a player when they leave the club. Josh started well for us but lost his way. There is potential in him, but i'd say he has quite a bit of work to do to become a regular starter for Castleford.
Good luck to the lad, he came to us at a difficult time.'"
God knows, but it's very arbitrary. It's basically a case of whether you have pleased the mob or not and if you are not over 25 and an Aussie there is no mercy.
Accuse me of point scoring if you wish. If you don't join in the worship of JD you are branded a heretic by some. However you can slag off a young lad learning the game who is guilty of nothing more than looking after himself just like JD did as much as you like. It's a huge double standard. I'm not pretending Griffin has given us what JD did but he still deserves some respect.
Why is everybody either gash, disruptive etc etc - just let players move on and welcome the new ones (with a few exceptions) by giving them a chance - simple.

Never said he was a world beater but you don't know he didn't want to be here - you're just speculating.

Have you some sort of crush on these two, give it a rest you're like a stuck record. We get the point.

| We signed him because he met the criteria at the start of 2010 ie young English and fitted in with our budget. Any other year we would probably would not have looked at him. If Millward can make anything out of him he`ll be lucky.

One's gone and one's going (probably), but he won't accept it!

I wont accept it because the 1873 scheme is ment to help keep the young trained up players at the club thats why i signed up to the thing in the first place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to see the same quality player leave to that half bit club across the way that will send us over the hill average players!

That's all well & good if we're needing to get wages agreed for a player who WANTS to stay at BV, but if a player either isn't wanted by the coach or (more pertinently) no longer wants to be a Wakefield player then it doesn't really matter how much we are offering or what pot of money the wage come from.
The first priority is to build a squad that wants to wear the red, white & blue. If we get to a stage where the majority of the first team squad has come through the ranks at the club then so much the better. Once a player shows they don't want to be here then it's simply a matter of getting them out of the door in the way that benefits the club the most.

You have no idea of the conversations that have taken place over this! How much; how many years; what match payments; what players; do you really want to go..... You can't make it true just by wishing it so!
Just accept it, be disappointed if you like, but overall I take next years side to win a hell of a lot more games than this years and that'll do for me for now - oh yes, that and signing Walshaw, Davey, Cowling, Annakin.........
Time to move on!

The 1873 scheme was set up with the intent of attracting, retaining youngsters to and from within the academy and to give them a chance to go onto first team rugby.
Murphy is unfortunately past that stage, he's now a developed regular first team player and has been so for a couple of season. This is aimed at the likes of Spiers, Annakin, Trout and mainly at those at younger ages e.g. U16's etc. Whilst it is frustrating that an academy product may leave, that doesn't mean to say another 1 or 2 won't progress and become the next Murphy, Ellis, Westwood etc, with your money!!!

| To succeed at anything you have to work hard, (unless you are naturally gifted) and I just don't think he worked hard enough, good luck to him in the future.
