So that’s it then.

A player who left nearly thirty years ago and a scholarship player who never signed a contract.

So agreed, total and utter myth that young players we let go come back to haunt us.

For me last season is before my time. When a player leaves he leaves and generally I wish him well but it’s his replacement I’m interested in. Look forwards not back. Each team and it’s players should be judged mainly on the what they do this season not last. It’s how I’d like to be judged

Something like that.

Didn’t Westwood score a try but didn’t attempt to put it under the sticks and Roe openly criticised him?

It was a definite clash.

I can only remember Hunte playing for us once against Batley in a cup game but still as an amateur as he was already earmarked to sign pro for Saints. Slightly O/T but I worked with his dad at that time and he used to lend me his players card to get in away games for free. We were like twins

Leeds released Hall to make way for that Simpson kid.

He couldn’t complete the game through cramp if that helps?

Mind you, his opposite centre was the standout player in the game. Wonder who that was…….

Thought that was before your time

When you say you believe the decision to leave was his, is that your opinion or taproom gossip or do you know for certain or more likely a guess, It's either his or the clubs decision my guess is you flipped a coin and made it all up.

Got a bit mixed. I thought Scarlett was on about Westwood.

That’s just it in a nutshell, very few people ever really know why players and coaches do what they do, there are always two sides.

Also people have this odd idea that all players are the same and they aren’t. They mirror society and come in all personality types.

Some very much are the noble yet humble warrior type. Others are complete knobs and everything in in-between and being able to throw a rugby ball around won’t change that.

From this mix of flawed human being a club has to forge a team of highly motivated and well drilled players.

Anybody think that sounds easy? I don’t.

For me the letting a player go and missing out only apply if they wanted to stay.

Hunte is a good example of a Wakefield lad being successful elsewhere but he was never really ours.

Of the youngsters that cause a fuss when we don't keep them on, I can't remember anyone that proved the coach wrong.

He didn't just walk away from Wakefield offered him a shockingly poor deal too be full time and he rightly turned it down too gain first team experience with Doncaster who offered him a better deal.He never requested too not come back on against Leeds and did in fact come back on at Centre due too a injury. So I don't know where you've got your info from.

Much as I hate to defend Scarlet I think he’s talking about Westwood.

As for a shockingly low offer then there we have the answer and it shows how ridiculous posters like you are.

Shockingly low in who’s opinion? So a club offers a player a way into SL but he starts on an apprentice wage, wow what’s new about that. Player can’t be bothered to wait takes easy money at a nowhere club kidding himself that he will get noticed.

He won’t stay with us because his attitude is all wrong for a club like Wakefield because it’s all money. It may be a short career but you can’t expect the money until you’ve done the time.

If this is true and I have no idea if it is then I have little sympathy and I fully expect the player will never grace SL. Still it’s his prerogative and if he proves me wrong best of luck to him, he’s made his bed.

I do have sympathy for players like Ollie Greensmith even if from the coaches point of views Hall is a better option. In his case I genuinely hope he proves his worth.

He isn't
