| Quote: Tricky2309 "I assume this is in reference to your "prop signing for Warrington" and "new signing" comments on your board and that the current club are keeping it quiet because he is a fans favourite?
The only prop I can see at Wakey falling into the fans favourite category is Big Dave and he only signed a new 2 year contract last year with the option of a third.
Before he signed his contract last year he had offers to go elsewhere and made specific reference to the fans and his team mates at Wakefield as to why he stayed.
Therefore, I cannot see why we would allow him to join Warrington nor why he would want to only 1 year into that new deal.
Our team is a different proposition with him in it and it would be absolute madness for us to let him go whilst still under contract, especially if the option of a third year allows us to exercise it.
If you are referring to any other players within the team, then all the ones who would carry the "fans favourite" label imo are also tied down to contracts with multiple years to go, so again why would we allow them to sign for Warrington unless Moran is throwing silly money at us as a transfer fee.
Even if a big transfer fee was involved, I believe any such deal would seriously undermine all the good work that MC has done over the last few years in getting the vast majority of the fan base onside and making us believe the days of us letting our best players leave prematurely were over.'"
Don't worry Tricky it can't possibly be true. Established Wakefield players only go to Leeds. Promising young Wakefield players only go to Huddersfield.

You are probably right with the "Bog standard" comment in the present time, but so was Kirmond when he signed from Hudds. He then became probably one of the most in demand second row forwards in the comp. Players thrive in different environments as Wakefield fans we should know that more than anyone else as we seem to do well out of players that are not deemed to be quite good enough. I imagine if he is coming that he wont break the bank and will be hungry to prove himself, as a squad player he would be a decent signing for me.

So you keep saying, although you mentioned earlier that the fans of the current club of the player will soon be questioning why he has not signed an extension to his contract where as before you was saying you had paid a fee for this player? If you are talking about big Dave he is signed up for next season already, so we don`t need him to sign an extension for him to play with us in 2019. Arona is OOC this year and we already know barring a U turn from our coaching staff he will not be with us next season.
Some of your comments I have seen from you surrounding Wire been able to sign who you want regardless of contracts are arrogant and hilarious at the same time as I actually think that you believe that in your own head.

| Trying to stay as on topic as possible, after LyndsayGill mentioning promising young Wakefield players only go to Huddersfield - I'm going to take a minute to praise Aaron Murphy, what a player he was for us and has consistently been for the Giants. Playing very well in the SR and has bulked up majorly since his time at Belle Vue.

Always liked Murphy and wasn't happy when Huddersfield "stole" him during admin but, although he was a decent FB and Winger, he doesn't really seem to have made the transition to SR just yet.
Maybe with another season or 2 on his back, he will but, he has the look of a "filler in" at the mo.

It was interesting to hear him say that right from the very beginning of his career he has always said he was a second rower and not a centre/winger. I guess he just never had the size to get his coaches backing on that front.

These things take time, he looks very strong in defence and doesn't put a poor shift in yet since I've seen him.
Been over at Huddersfield a few times recently.

John Kear praises Murphy very highly in his book. Murphy could have bailed out with Dale Ferguson when the Shudds Vultures came pecking at our carcass. After contacting JK for advice he decided to give us another year and help see us through a very sticky patch. Kear also said he believed he could have persuaded DF to hang in too if he's been given the chance.
Strange though how Murphy can never shake off that teenage acne.

| You see, in football, sports journalists actually do have "sources" when it comes to player movements. Rugby League, however, they just have to pop on RLFANS for any e going around.

It's a bit of a nothing article, the headline is a question, the main section rumours. Is the paper you quote usually good at these "predictions" or is it just a lazy local hack? Oh and well done for actually presenting a name rather than just coming here fishing.

| I've just commented on this over on the Warrington board, the only thing I would read into on this is that he played under Price as assistant at Cronulla.
