Sure the ones who are good enough are already sorted elsewhere for next season. If you worked somewhere that wasn't secure its human nature to look after yourself and your family. I don't blame any of them for securing a deal where they know they will be safe

100% Agree

Even in the past players contracts come to an end and they go if we had still been under the franchise system and in the 1st year of it with Hudds offering Dan Smith a four and half year contract he would have still gone and who could blame him more money,more chance of playing in a final and more chance of making test squad if he improves. McShane would probs be off to as he would look at Cas as being an improvement on playing for Wakey.Its the way of the world someone makes you a lot better job offer you take that offer up.

Quite right and nobody can question players for moving for a better contract.
However, the number of changes that we are making at the moment is scary and many in key positions.

Having said that, Smith is a top coach and unless his hand is being forced, he knows what he is doing.

It could be that the players in key positions just have not cut it, and that along with they either didn't want to stay, didn't have the guts for a scrap or found a club to take them on next season.
The performances have been crap and players in key positions like hooker , full back, half back just aint performed.

Apart from Collis none of the players who have left concern me as I think they are all replaceable  . what would is if the accountant has already agreed to dispose (cash in) of our home grown talent to his friends  . I think the biggest mistake was the off season recruitment  Webster was allowed to do

you might upset Websters little fan club.

Agree with the recruitment.

Hall - crap.
Kirke - crocked.
Miller - headless chicken.
Ashurst - where is he?

Simon has been solid I admit. But on the whole the recruitment was poor.

That's surprising the time you spend on here the Bard of Barden Road would have you believe it's just a ploy on behalf of agent Carter to de stabilise the club and bring it to it's knees rather than admit it's a supreme effort to keep us in superleague by backing the new coach, who on the face of it has identified the players he cannot rely on and has brought in players who are available to give us a better chance of survival.

Well I might as well and to your 'world is going to end' list.....
Mr Carter says someone has made Box an offer to buy the stsdium/land.
He doesn't think anything will come of it but that's not good news for us.

The stadium land at Belle Vue or Newmarket?

Them long winter nights must fly by,I wonder how many posters on here have girl friends

As far as WMDC are concerned Newmarket is nothing to do with them and the BOI own BV so why on earth would anyone be making an offer to that slippery eel?
