It was me he said it to when I asked him. He was down at Asda shopping and when I asked him cool as a cucumber he said no he wasn’t joining Leeds. Following day he was there.
I’ve no issue with it, he was playing his cards close to his chest but spare me the emotive passion nonsense. Pochings number one priority was getting the best deal for him and his family and rightly so.
Nothing to do with the BOD but you maintain thats pure fantasy. Leeds was exactly the move Poching wanted and needed, emotion played no part, it’s RL not Roy of the Rovers.'"
I wonder if he just didn't want to share his personal circumstances in Asda at the checkout with a stranger.

I agree but by god he was convincing, it’s no coincidence that RL players are good at poker.
The fact remains that some fans over emotionalise players. I’m sure WP was a little sad at leaving Trinity but I suspect he was a whole lot gladder to be going to Leeds for a wage hike and a serious chance of success. It no different to you leaving your current job for another, you will miss folk but you still want to leave to get a better future.
One thing I do know being a Ted puppet (allegedly) was that as ever we offered him a financial deal as good as Leeds but we couldn’t guarantee success, in fact we couldn’t even promise SL, sound familiar?

| Willie was a fantastic player for us but completely different skillset to Sol.
Sol was and still is my favourite ever player to pull on the shirt - yes, there was an odd mistake here or there.........but he would more than compensate.
What a player.....and who can blame someone in leaving for more money......

RL players and poker havent gone together all that well at Trinity. Remember the "Korkidas" London game.

Does anyone know the main reason why he left though? Someone I know used to sponsor him and after we had survived he asked Sol if he was staying and he said he didn't know it was a board decision. Now this can A) be taken with a pinch of salt B) mean he'd asked to leave in light of Bradofrd interest (for success and or brass) and was waiting for the board/Ted to decide or C) that it was the club who wanted to sell for the brass and he would've stayed. My friend took the more detailed conversation than I've represented here to mean that it wasn't him leading it but as Vastman says you never know if they are telling the truth. Someone on here closer to the action might know more

He was out of contract and he wasn`t getting paid at Wakefield as I understand it, we owed him money, any club in the league would have had him at that point so we were never going to keep him.

That was a case of sore losers. If you can't take losing then don't do it.

We certainly lost that day. Was a very long trek home that night ...

Can't remember, who did we replace him with.
He could have had a 3 deal for me. Still the best we've had in the centre in modern times.

I think he wanted a two year deal but there were question marks over his fitness after an injury but he came back from that injury to play the last 6 or 7 games of the season and was fantastic.
We replaced Domic with Ned Catic!
The start of Tony Smith's downfall.

Yes Domic and Collis would get my vote.

Which 32 year old player has got a three year deal?
