If Murphy's heart is not with Wakefield so be it We move on and use his contact money elsewhere.

well I am hoping the guy is honourable and gives his best to the club this season. From what I hear we have offered him very good terms but can only go so far. If Saints want their man they get him and I am sure he will go really well with them.

Why do we always assume the worst, nowhere does he say Murphy is going anywhere, yet it's assumed he is after ONE contract rebuffle. I swear some on here just love to feel hard done by.

It's very simple IMO where Murphy is concerned. He will stay another two years at least so long as the money is close and Trinity are on the up on the field. If we struggle again this year, and by that I don't mean so much points but the general team performances, he will be off like a shot.

Good update, as always, from MC.
Interesting to hear about the bore hole; at first I thought he was referring to some on here!

Really disappointing to hear that about Murphy.

Proctor lands just after Boxing Day after his wife has had a few issues with her visa , can’t wait to see him on the field , and fingers crossed a few of our new signing get blooded at the Boxing Day match

Sounds ominous really but there’s no harm in seeing how he goes in his second season before we consider another contract offer.

Open and honest from the CEO as always

Well tbf 9/10 most rumours regarding players are true you can liicky licky all you want he's gone trinity are a feeder club end of the day

Unfortunately that’s part n parcel of a mid/lower table club ,your always going to get your best players picked off at some point ,we just can’t get into an arm wrestle with the bigger clubs over contract money , and neither should we in my opinion. To be honest I think we did amazing to keep Johnstone as long as we did ,think it was his horrendous injuries record that kept clubs at bay for so long . Great if he stays and good luck if he goes , won’t be the first or the last for that matter ,but I think the latter is inevitable ,considering he’s just broke onto the scene and now obviously agents are getting in his head .Good on MC , we simply cannot break the bank for anyone ,as there’s a cold wind blowing around the clubs at the moment with the cost of living crisis getting worse by the week and new revenue streams a way off for us yet , and personally I much prefer this steady ship we have at present than those turbulent times of yesteryears , even if that means forsaking a future superstar .

Lets start with Gale

...and then let's work on the 20 others that have appeared on here in the last 3 month and been wrong.

Nobody got Smith, or Antoni or Langi this time around and one person got Proctor.

So as ever you have your demented old finger on the pulse. You meeting the delightful Carter family for Christmas drinkies this year to tell them how you feel? Or are you going to be as two faced as last time?

So what have you heard.

Why are you disappointed.

Is it the nonsense posted on here?

So you are disappointed with something that hasn't even happened,?

If we only have Lewis for another season… that means we get to enjoy him for another season… and still get a fee if he moves on then…

I’m prepared to enjoy him in a trinity shirt in 23.. and if that’s it… I’ve still enjoyed him in a trinity shirt for two seasons

I reckon you may enjoy him for longer than that with a bit of luck

All part of the deal, arriving post Christmas.
