and I think that is very smart from the club.We have so many backrowers who do the same job as arona.

maybe a half or 5/8 available.....

there is plenty of movement at nrl clubs Manly,Parra and Bulldogs at the moment due to salary cap dramas -time to strike now

anybody say Trent Hodkinson?

I think Arona had his best season with us last year and was my man of the season. This season he has not really stood out for me however he does have a very good work ethic.

I'd be sad to seeing him go, however not having insight to the negotiations I don't know what % of our budget they are negotiating on to keep him (unless it is a quota spot issue).

It's a tough call on coach and chairman, and one I'm glad I'm not having to make that call.

I like Arona, and is one of the first players in the team sheet for me. Having said that, I also don't think has reached his best form this year.

I do think Jordy us more than capable of filling his boots.

If Arona does go, that will free up a spot, and then you look at the other players.

If Finn ends up going too, then regardless of how Miller and Hampshire pan out, we will probably be looking for another half, to provide cover and competition. That is of course, unless Ackroyd is ready to step up, and be given game time.

Although Trent Hodkinson is a good player, with his dodgy knees, is it a gamble we are willing or can afford to make. Maybe there are younger and fitter halves around that would be a better fit for us.

Usually think there's something behind what you post EW but I'm presuming this is more your gut feeling? Apart from some slightly above average games in the Championship I can't see where the evidence behind your comment comes from.

I agree on the point about Trent Hodkinson, he is a gamble and an expensive one at that.

Been a great player and hard working every time I have seen him play yet you would rather chance your arm bringing in some other second rate Aussie! Great advert for any player to come to Wakefield.. I am sure he will find a club that will appreciate a player that gives what he gives. A top coach will pick him up im sure, might be on his way to Cas.

Who exactly are you talking about?
It helps me scoff at your ridiculous posts if you can be more specific please.

Awww Diddums!! Still not got over another defeat?? You should be used to it by now.

Obviously not going to be coming to your place though to play in the Championship so why would you care where he ends up??

After tonight's game and the players that started, I believe apart from Hampshire, they are all contracted for next season, maybe trying to work something out with Hampshire, whilst seeing how the team plays with Arona on the bench?

Thought Arona was out of contract.

Please keep up ! Enough posters have told you tini wont be here next year and its a shame always gives his all

Funny guy! Maybe that's why he's not starting and on the bench?

Well if you read the post, Ketty Cat says "he MAY feel", throwing out potential possibilities as to why Arona MAY not be here next year. Why jump down someone's throat for that

Did I not read last week, that Ackroyd had been released and was at Halifax ??

Yes I posted it after seeing it in the LE
