The stadium must be looking likely or else why would the quality players such as Tronc, Morrison and Newton want to come?

Pitts- leeds Bibb-KR Rooney Barrow Peterson released add that to constant speculation about our financial stat and the issue surrounding our future. Agreed on Tronc signing but newton and morrison have no more than two years left in the game so licence wont effect them. agree they have gone for money and good riddens i say but if our future was more certain imo may have been easier to hang on to snitch pitts wilkes. Another problem is english players always jump ship as soon as a so called bigger club comes knocking albeit the club has to release them. Pitts snitch wilkes and moore tried to go to wigan are examples imo

Music to the ears of any fan when a new signing says things like that.

No silly predictions, no half hearted statements just a solid promise of 100% commitment.

Sounds Good to me, Welcome Shane to Wakefield, the home of the Trinity Wildcats...

Out of those that have gone/are on loan/travelling round Europe who are you really bothered about going? Only Pitts for me as he will be a quality player in years to come the others will be no great loss as they will be easily replaced I would imagine. The rest is just rumour especially those 4 players to Wigan, where did you pick that up, on here by any chance? More unsubstantiated rubbish!

Tronc quality signing by the way, though he's gonna be gutted when he gets here and finds out we have no money!

Has looked good in the NRL games i have seen this season.......Cant help feeling a tad jealous

Nevermind the negative rumours, lets stick to positive news.

Excellent signing. Seen him a couple of times and been impressed and the stats back it up. He has everything that JK likes in a player and a bit more.

Now get us the 6 to play outside Brough and the signature of Snitch and i will happily go with that

PS Having said that im not sure who out of the current players are OOC at the end of the season?? As far as i am aware the following are OOC

Bibb
Rooney
Obst
Wilkes
Drew
Martin
Snitch ??
JD??
Bibey??
Henderson
Sculthorpe

Are there anymore? Are the ones with ?? OOC? Have we re-signed any already?? What about Korki, is there a deal to be done cos if we lose Wilkes along with Sculthorpe that leaves us a little light in the front row.

Don't know about Snitch seems that it was announced he'd signed a 2 year deal but it was actually a 1 year deal with an option of a 2nd year. Though it does appear he might be staying now.

As to Korki I guess it depends if Hudds want shut of him as I can't see us paying a fee for him.

All except JD I think.

Plus Blaymire / Murphy / George.

Negotiations ongoing - internally and externally!

There is another aspect to the 'ins and outs' of players, we have lost (or possibly about to lose) from our initial 2009 squad: Rooney, Scully, Pitts, Bibb, Snitch, Wilkes. All of whom are British, so I would assume that JK, PB et al are scouring other teams in order to increase our 'Britishness' as per RFL/ESL requirements. I also assume that we are not going to fill the gap with current academy players although we need these to meet the 'home grown' quota or whatever it is. I wonder if anyone knows all the various quotas etc or does someone at RFL HQ just make them up as the need arises?

Agreed, all the press releases at the time said it was a 2 year contract, not 1 with 1 option.

But that is what we have I'm afraid!
