But you'd only say it because you want it to be so. There's no foundation to any of the negatives you are posting against the club.

I'm pretty sure there is nowhere in his contract that says the club has to play him.

Politics aside pop tart ,the team it’s fair to say are in a hole and this is exactly the time for our talisman to step up to the plate and lead us on the field ,but whatever the reasons he’s sat at home kicking his heals .Ive no interest in apportioning the blame to either side, all I want is our great team to take the field with the best squad we can and play to the best of their ability.

Its pathetic to be honest, he's the biggest earner at the club, we are obviously doing it tough at the moment and for him to be stood down for 14 days over a device that is simply too big is a joke. What would we be saying if relegation was still on the table and our so called best forward wouldn't take the pitch over minor issue like this. He's certainly changed my view on him thats for sure.

I'd go further than that.
He's barely played for the second half of last season and most of this and to chuck his teddy out of the cot because he doesn't want to wear a tracker, that every other player is wearing is mickey poor.
Fifita is by some distance our best prop and possibly our most effective player and as a club, we need players like that on the field and leading the side.
What sort of message is being put out here ?? it absolutely stinks.

How is this device too big? It sits in the pocket sewn in to the neck of the shirt doesn’t it? You can barely see the thing through the fabric

The big fella needs to take a good look at himself and bloody quick. I dont see him pulling a Trinity shirt on again but would be more than happy for him to show up in a couple of weeks time.Not seen the best of him for q while now and any mature professional would buckle under . go out and show his worth . I did ask the question if he was still on the pay role and if not can we still hold his contract. I know hes been stood down by the club but hes refusing to conform to regs.
Think the best the club can hope for is a fee with a player exchange.

A lot of things wrong with this post.

Firstly, a lot of people inherit money. I lived on Kettlethorpe as a kid, so you can imagine that I never will, but some people do. That's life.

Secondly, MC said right at the beginning that he sort of ended up with the club. So, a guy with some hobby-cash to throw around decides to throw a bit towards a local rugby club, at that time under the rich leadership of local blowhard Glover, but did so because it was fun and why not? The club hits the buffers because it was badly-run, so the guy puts everything on the line for the club, going from a side-interest to a full-time pursuit.

Thirdly, and in line with your previous posts, sometimes tough management upsets people, but a club like ours needs it, because we can't afford any passengers.

I get that if you get enough poison on a drip-drip basis, it gets into your bloodstream, but maybe time to pull out the drip for a while. I don't know the guy, and I might even find that I wouldn't like him if I met him, but he's turned the place around, at immense personal risk. I'm sure he's upset some people, but that's life. We need strict management.

As for Covid breaches, people do all the time. I can bet everyone on here has met someone they shouldn't have met, a relative or someone, or not counted the bubbles, or strayed within two metres, or done something. Players have. I have. Even Wayne Bennett did!

Whose late father are you talking about?

Does that matter??
If they can do the job then what difference does it make if they're married to the groundsman, a player or the CEO?

I coach a junior football team and we have appointed someone to be our Covid19 officer. Again, I ask, does it matter who that person is, who they're related to as long as they know what the role entails and are capable of doing it.

Excellent post Slugger

About 4 years ago MC sent out a plea to all fans asking if they knew anyone who could possibly invest in the club and I sort of half knew a very wealthy local businessman who is also a prominent sponsor of the Whino's. Despite not having spoken to him for a number of years I phoned him and asked if he would be prepared to meet with myself, MC and TRB (luckily he still remembered me ) and he agreed to the meeting, so the three of us went to his offices and I introduced him to MC and have to say that the meeting went very well and he agreed to meet up with MC at a later date to go into further details. Unfortunately the guy didn't end up investing ( I suspect that may have had something to with Whino interference, but may be wrong), but I have to say that MC was exactly as he comes across in the press - a thoroughly professional, really nice guy who only has the interest of the club at heart and if it weren't for him then I honestly believe Wakefield Trinity would no longer exist today.

EW...as other's have said, I am really shocked at your outburst, as I too considered you one of the most sensible, reasonable posters on here and am truly sad to see you come out with such comments. You are obviously entitled to your opinion, which I respect, but as some wise sage said many years ago - YOU DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU !!

I would just like to say if Eastern Wildcat is going to post on here he gets his facts right and not make accusations against senior people at the club.

What was underhand regarding Rocky?
