While I do like Sam he's hardly the sort of player to build a team around.

WE ARE WAKEFIELD, WITHOUT THE RICHARDSONS’ WE ARE STRONGER:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42850.jpg

RE FS - fair enough if he is contributing something that Elston can't then keep him.

Re Ted - this may seem harsh, but I agree that he has done well to get us this far especially having overseen some major cock ups, none more so than the Pearman debacle. A number of inept decisions at BOD level over the years have almost certainly created a negative perception of the club to others and is pehaps one of the key reasons why the fans of other clubs aren't queuing up to defend our right to remain in SL, like they are some of the other clubs under threat (ie Cas)

i have just changed the opinions on the players, left ratings, generally right.


BLAYMIRE (4/10) - i think the lack of effort when returning the ball shows he isnt really interested
BLANCH (4/10)- defensively attrocious, sort that out and i think he would be alright. needs to be disciplined enough to stay on his flipping wing!
GLEESON (5/10) -has been shocking most of the year, but then again, playing in a low moraled side with other players, think he will return to last years form if we win a few, has shown some glimpses of quality
MILLARD (5/10) - fair season, would have scored more had brough not departed then people may have said he was more magic
GEORGE (5/10)- always injured, but you cant argue with his try scoring record
JEFFRIES (6/10)- shows he needs to work with a propper full back
KORKIDAS (6/10) - talismanic tryer. wont go anywhere else, nowhere would have him.
FERGUSON (5/10)- not had a great year
MORRISON (7/10)- quality player
DEMETRIOU (5/10)- good servent but we will be a better team in attack without him
OBST (8/10) - lots of effort, sometimes lacking application
BIBB (3/10) - who?
JOHNSON (4/10) - hardly played, no opinion
HENDERSON (6/10) - effort, always trys, need people like him in your side.
MURPHY (7/10) - needs to play fullback to show his full potential. next years first choice fullback by a mile.
KING (6/10) - best prop we have, sets up breaks always tries, rarely misses tackles
LEO-LATU (5/10) - top error maker, do i need to say more
COOKE (3/10) - played out of position all year, he is a 13. no doubt. would play well with a decent half back pairing imo
MORTON (5/10) - young
DAVEY (5/10) - as above
MOORE (4/10) - not big enough by a long way. not a prop, always getting pushd back, cant offload anymore. risk, needs to bulk up significantly or go
GLEDHILL (5/10)- given a chance, patchy form but shows signs of promise
KIRMOND (7/10) - gone back to Giants, but turned in regular above average performances - which in this team is good! would try to sign
LEAENO (6/10) - limited appearances, but what I've seen is good
RINALDI (6/10) - workmanlike, good cover - would keep

JOHN KEAR (5/10) - as he is a director, he has to take responsibility for the sale of brough which has caused the demise of our season

as far as i know we have this rule in rugby league and due to this mr richardson has said he would step aside when the offer comes in.... but the offer needs to come in first. how many people do you know who have the money to run a club... besides NGB4C?

To be fair TRB, we should be going for it or getting out. The new stadium is one part of the equation, and I have got everything crossed, but we need to be pushing the investment towards the salary cap or giving up. The group of players selected this year have not been in the recent Wakefield Trinity mode, and JK has as much admitted that today. As a minimum, we at Wakefield have always been proud of the effort put in by the players, regardless of the result, but we have not been able to do that this season.
ps. As Beans is leaving, does this leave a vacancy for a Wakefield favourite (JD?)

I think the BoD realise this, hence the request for outside help. We need additional funding to help us raise standards, increase attendances (in part with the stadium) and increase revenue. This year has been a disaster - with players leaving, poor performances, falling attendences and reduced revenues. All this leads to pressure in the financial system which hampers the development of the business. Outside investment is required, but the rewards for someone coming in at this time - always assuming that NM comes along - could be massive, and we need to sell that idea to anyone and everyone! icon_cool.gif

No no no. Lets get out of this way of thinking. I think Jason Demetriou is one top bloke and he has my utmost respect for the effort and commitment he has put in for Wakefield Trinity, but where are his coaching credentials?
If JD comes back in two or three years having spent some time as an assistant coach learning his trade then I would welcome him back with open arms, but professional sport is a harsh environment and being a 'good bloke' is not neccessarily a qualificaion for the job.

Where I think a bloke like JD would be useful right now is in a mentoring/welfare role for the young kids. Talking to them about living right, eating right, taking the right attitude towards training and general all round attitude as a professional rugby league player.
