Yes I think if MC had been around as long as some of us, he would have remembered the years where we used the fact that we did not spend as much as the rest as one of strengths. Think back to the years we brought in Richard moore and ricky Bibbey from oblivion and we were the squad that no one else wanted, it was us against the rest, and it worked !!!

But in all fairness to MC, he is still new to the job and the continual drip drip drip of negativity from Webster has also rubbed off on him as well as the players.

Anybody got Russell Crowe's address ? I think he would relish the challenge of repeating his success with S Sydney and it would be much more fun than buying Leeds United !

Don't see what salary cap has to do with anything really?
The squads in 2012 and 2013 were assembled to the full salary cap but with poor value for money, to me we have replaced players lost with like for like quality eg

Poore out Anderson in
Amor out Scruton in
Aiton out Mcshane in
Tim Smith out then re-signed
Mariano out Ryan in
Tautai out Paea in
Fox out Owen in

Could go on but point is the negative whining as got to
stop the most important game is the next one. Not in a few months.
Webster needs to man up or quit , Kirmond needs to lead by example and fire the team up or give the armband away.
Although personally I believe he's shot and has been for 18 month. With hindsight probably should have cashed in when Salford were interested.

The team needs motivating, period and it's not being done by the people employed to do it.

According to Carter apparently our cap spend is 1.5 million which is higher than i thought. Its not that far off some of the other clubs i should imagine and makes the gap in performances even worse. Webster seemed to blame the previous regime for some players being on over inflated contracts. Pretty sure the only players still on Elston deals are Collis, Kirmond, Trout & Annakin. The first two i can imagine being pretty expensive but not the last. Sounded like more excuses to be honest.

In addition to the above we got rid of Richard Moore with Ian Kirke coming in and Andy Raleigh with Mikael Simon coming in....

Although lots and lots of injuries there is no way that WTW team should have been beaten by 80 points. I agree with previous posts there is just too much negativity about the quality of the squad and not enough fight from the coach ......

On the earlier point I wonder why Russell Crowe hasn't considered buying a Super League team to go with his NRL team. If he can consider buying Leeds Utd then Trinity would cost him a small fraction....Does someone want to send him a twitter message?

Buying Leeds UTD he must have loads of crap to get rid of to fill that dump

Excuse me! Quite a few of us support both LUFC and Wakey and we do not need or deserve this comment. If Wakey had half the support or commitment of Leeds fans we would be in a lot better place than we are now!

It's also not our fault you have a habit of supporting poor clubs/teams.

Tell me about it!! How do u think I feel?

At least I have seen one of my teams win something - 1992

Aye, beating Sheffield in The Yorkshire Cup Final!

You're excused then but I stand by what I said for the ones I saw - an absolute disgrace - just bent on intimidating people!

Nice one!! Though funny enough that wasn't what I was thinking about

I know the Comment might be tongue in cheek but Crowe's investment in souths brought success because they had a massive, passionate fanbase who turned up week in week out even though the team was poor pre-Crowe, meaning he just had to focus on the team. Can't really say the same about Wakefield can you.
