he was leaving Cas one way or another and was on a decent wedge anyway which effectively reduces his transfer value, but thanks for your input.

We are going to be in the trenches for most of the season probably so we are going to need our troops to stand up and fight. In that respect, Aiton is understandably our biggest loss.

£400k became £600k which is now down to £100k. When you look at it like that, Michael Carter, you've done a hell of a job.

I'm of the opinion that yes we've lost players, but we hardly pulled up any trees last season. If 7 players with the potential for 9 are incoming, I'll be honest, I'm quite excited about 2014!! Bring it on.

Just think we've missed a trick here, assuming the Express name a couple isn't that gonna take a bit of sting out of our announcement, why not have an announcement night at Cats bar? All revenue to the club?

That could be good announce 1 player every 15 minutes giving time for a bit of an interview with each

Quite remarkable that Trinity are still in existence.

The only problem is we've still got the same coach who has pretty much underachieved throughout most of his SL career.

I think the coach has done ok. Pulling a team together to then get 8th spot playing attractive rugby in year 1. Then trying to build on that with the same thin squad which got lots more injuries plus loads of money troubles. Now he has to do it all again and is committed from not walking away. I'll back him to get a team to stay up. Players like him, he will attract quality.

In your opinion- ask the players what think of RA and I don't think they would agree with you.
Quite frankly I am sick of all the negativity being spouted even when a chink of blue sky appears through the gloom.

Must admit, not a big fan of his baffling selection policy sometimes.
But seems to have the ability to pull a rabbit out of the hat regarding quality signings.
Did it at Hull and at Wake.
Will have to really play 'moneyball' this year with his signings.
Lets see if players like him enough to play for less money than they are probably asking for?

I think a lot of the improvement players show when they come here (and so allow us to sell them on) is just down to confidence. How many came here 2 years ago as they were not deemed good enough at their club? A coach wanted them, played them and they did well. I'm sure similar will happen this year

I hope we can attract two or three out of the seven that are rumour to be coming, that have something a bit special about them to re invigorate season ticket sales.
Then come the start of the season, all this doom and gloom will be history and we can look back and laugh about it.

Been having a bit of banter with Doc Koukash (I'm assuming he's genuine with 4,00 followers).....Here is a quote from his/my Twatter.
@drmarwanK: @GINGERWILDCAT I have always said that. The sport CANNOT afford to loose Wakefield. I may even buy a season Ticket at your place
