That right chissitt it was at the time when M C used to take part on the board.

He signed a 4 year contract last year.

The official attendance was announced during the game as 4,038.

So with SKY comp (if that still happens) then we will have broke even.

I'm sure it does yes. It was a reasonable attendance for a SKY game kicking of at 2.50pm Saturday afternoon with a small away
support.

There's no Sky compensation for the first televisied game then its 15k per game for every home game after that. Trouble is all clubs have to put in extra money into a pot out of their annual TV money every season for this to happen. So unless you get selected for Sky a good few times you don't end up gaining.

Up until his 3rd try against Salford I was undecided if he was just a flash in the pan but that try needed some scoring and showed speed, strength and confidence in his own ability. As some have said above talent such as this will always attract the bigger clubs and an agent usually only thinks about what is the best deal for himself and not the player. Its a hard choice if big money is being dangled.

Well obviously you have not seen as much of TJ as us Wakey fans. We have known for some time that he is no flash in the pan.
The good thing of course is that TJ is not the only rising star at WT, I am sure Max Jowitt is going to make the grade big time and there is young Jordan Crowther waiting in the wings (so to speak!) His chance will come but it is probably a little harder for a forward to break into a team early rather than a back.
Then of course, another youngster with a bright future, Batchelor, has just signed a long contract - so, either we have a very bright future with homegrown talent - which we all prefer, alternatively, a lot of cheque books are going to have to come out with a lot of money!
I'm sure things won't stop there I believe 1873 is really working!

York have just renewed young Crowther's loan period, so he must be doing things right there

The future does look bright with this group of young kids coming through

................the crown jewel of young prospects would be a half back though. They are not produced so readily and take a lot of nurturing.

Absolute bull. Ask the vast majority of agents and the last thing they think about is how much money they will make from a deal. There's far too much at stake than to just think about the money. It's much more than that, if an agent gives a player ill advice and screws up his career then it's not good for him getting new players on board.

When people work in sales one of the main reasons they do so is to earn good money.
an agents job is to get the player the most amount of money possible
The higher the pay the higher the commission
