Quote: Tommy Duckfingers "Paleasina and Fozzard possible replacements?'"


If they'll let us play both.

In seriousness, I'd rather Fozzard, just for the game time he'd give you. And as he's local - there's a lad who's happy with a night out on Westgate. Can't see it happening though, he's playing fairly regularly for Saints.

As for Tronc, the more I think about it, the more it annoys me. Big tough Aussies, reckon the NRL is the hardest league in the world. 3 months of a bit of rain and snow, a moaning Sheila and they're off home, tail between their legs pining for flavourless fizzy beer served in small glasses.

I think it helps that arguably the biggest Rugby club in the world are lining up Tronc on his return. He only come over because he was out on a limb salary cap wise.

Whatever happens here, it is a real shame for all concerned.
However, being far from home in a strange country, trying to make new friends, trying to make sense of the weather, schools, food, lifestyle etc, can be very daunting.
It takes a while to settle in, and some get through it, and some don't.

True, up here I did.

What the bloody hell next absolutely devastated, well if ben hannant is still expensive we shouldn't release tronc at all and we should get a mahussive transfer fee or player in exchange.

If he isn't settled well thats bad but he knew what he was letting himself in for.
In these situations the club should look after itself say stay out your contract or get big bucks for him.

So depressed and any chances of doing anything this season would have disappeared. ARRGGGHH

Quote: mwildcats "FFS
I've got some sympathy with that view, losing Tronc now will be damaging to the rest of our season.

We've already incurred costs to get him here, agents fees, travel costs, relocation help etc. .

Then there's the potential loss of revenue, drop in gates as some disillusioned fans stop going to games (and there will be some), shorter cup run, finishing lower in the league etc..

Being realistic we shouldn't even try to force Tronc to stay if his heads been turned by Brisbane, however we shouldn't just roll over either. We should look for a financial settlement that not only offers us recompence but also compensation for future losses.

I'd take a hardline because I don't really beleive this is about Shanes wife, I think this is Brisbane Broncos offering Shane his dream move despite the fact that he's under contract to Wakefield. I think this is Brisabne Broncos showing zero respect for Trinity and riding roughshod over us to get what they want. For that reason I'd play hardball with the pair of them, Tronc and Brisbane.

Surely this seems more like Tronc having the oppotunity to go back to oz to a big club and in an area he feels at home.Wether his other half is homesick or being used as an excuse is open to speculation ? What ever happens the best thing is to get it sorted as soon as possible and move on. Wakefield have enough experience this season at coping with adversity !!!

At the very least Brisbane should recompense Trinity for the costs involved thus far with Tronc. With 50K fans filling out Land Park every other week I’m sure the can afford to.

It's the tradition (enough throw themselves at them!)

Was it Clinton O'Brien who left for similar reasons or someone else?
