Good prop and had another year in him. Best of luck for the future!

We could be a little light up front now unless Anderson, Raleigh, Daniel Smith and Tautai are all fit now? It'd be nice to still be competitive for the last 4 matches regardless of the top 8 being out of reach.

Might have to, could see Crowther in the 17 Friday night.

Why not Ben Shulver or would he cost appearance money

Moore has tweeted... "Thanks for all the kind messages. I gave my all this year and I can walk away and be proud. Wakefield will be a special place in my memory." Signed for Halifax for 2015...according to Bulls thread... viewtopic.php?f=19&t=572081&tsmp=1407867464&start=530 Has he gone there early to cut the playing budget and save much needed cash? Halifax desperate for a mongrel type prop for their big game? www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/30 ... e-head-for?

Feel for Richie, he gave his all and thoroughly deserved a new deal. Him and Tautai will be missed in the offload department

very disappointing, probably a candidate for our player of the year IMO. Good luck for the future.

We knew he was not being offered another contract so his departure was expected but not the timing. I would remind those in charge that selling and uncertainty do not help sell season tickets.

True but we've signed 3 so far and hopefully in the next month or so we'll see a few more quality signings. It's hard to say atm if letting guys like Richie go is the right thing to do or not, not until we've completed all the signings we need to for next season.

They have created their own catch 22 situation in that they need season ticket sales to help with team strengthening but many won't commit to buy one until they better understand the calibre of the team next season. We have currently confirmed that three will not be offered contracts, four are on loan, one is to retire and one has signed elsewhere. On the other side of the equation we have signed Hall from KR.

Season tickets go on sale 1st September (that's a little over a fortnight off still) and the early bird offer ins until 1st December.
Pointless blowing our load now as it will all be forgotten about come October.
Timing is everything!!

This is my fear also.
I don't what's happening with the player situation at the moment but being a Wakefield supporter for many years I'm quite used to it.
Those Wigan and Leeds fans don't know how lucky they are.

Probably to save wages but would 2 more months pay make that much difference ?
Good luck Rich, we know you were 1 that always gave 100%

It's the middle of August and already the doom mongers are out.
It's about money and no one knows what either Richie Mathers or Richie Moore were asking.
Has been mentioned that Webster wanted to keep Mathers but the board wouldn't let him.
That tells me the figures weren't right.
Moore was probably worth another year but nothing has come out about Webster wanting to keep him, so a mutual agreement has been the best outcome for both parties.
Moore gets himself fixed up with another club to prove his worth and we save some coin, that maybe put to improving an existing player contract.
Sometimes people have to look past the end of their noses and have a bit of confidence in the financial turn around of the club in the last 12 months and the improvement of performances under Webster.
Don't think we will be having 3 of our overseas arriving 3 days before kick off next season!

He's not actually transferring.
He is a free agent, so could possibly get round that one?
