Tbf on everyone you are a victim here of your predecessor habit of using such expressions regarding some very mundane news.

Personally I think Batchelor looks the potentially best young forward we've produced since Ellis - much as I love TJ forwards win games. When you think we have Crowther as well under any other circumstances it would be "exceptional".

However you have to accept that even if you didn't intend to you've scared us to death with the ground and for many that's blighting the future and puts a huge downer on any "good news for the future"

Sorry but it's hard to reconcile what's happening on and off the pitch - not your fault but you are the man I'm afraid

I think sometime we all look at what we really want and that is to support our club going into the future and long term ground security is what everyone looks at when good news is announced. If at this stage this is at a stand still what is the second option?

Retaining youngsters! So hopefully unless we are announcing Andrew Frew (sorry Fafita) this will do me.

I know some on here have been following Bradford plight. I would say they are/were a bigger club than us and can't find a chairman to get a working realistic model in place. With low resources and small fan base last year we were the 8th best team in the country. We have junior set up that is developing Super League players. When clubs are unable to find quality half backs we have attracted one that maybe a star this year.

There are more goods than bads under our chairman. No admins and home grown players. We have too many half empty supporters, with the lowest budget when have alway been predicted to go down, but we survive (At times I don't know how we have done it to be honest)

Over the years Ellis going, Westwood going has been met with a resignation and acceptance, nice this appears to be changing, Miller would have been gone like the half back who went to Warrington (Name escapes me) but we kept hold of him.

I agree

And I think you are talking about Nathan Wood.
But in the past you have been able to build a team of Wakefield players playing at other clubs. Now not so much.
Looking forward to seeing the guys today.

You are correct Nathan Wood

Andrew Frew?!

The morals of a capitalist society, eh... The worth of nothing.... the value of everything.

No problem with people making money, the problem is them not keeping promises made to the people of Wakefield.

Nat Wood.

17 players who came through the system at Wakefield and could compete in SL would be exceptional news for a club like ours. Just keep praying for that extra news that would make those players never want to leave..

Jason Demetriou....is this a quiz??
