Wakefield have been in adminstration three times?? must have missed that Tony... ""I've been here 12 years and there's been someone just about every year. In that time Wakefield have done it three times. If it's not been at the top level, it's been at Rochdale or somewhere else.'"

Hes been talking to forrard too much!!

Silly sausage.

If he really wants to be a part of the solution rather than part of the problem, perhaps he should consider avoiding talking down the sport and using made-up facts to support his assertions?

"I've been asking some friends about the last time they watched a high quality competitive game of Super League and you have to really think about it. Why is that?"

I guess they didn't watch the WTW vs Warrington game then?

Get your facts right or go back to Aus, you old cretin.

It's not good for the club when made up trash like this gets printed. 3 times my botty.

Yes, I'll agree it's a wrong and silly statement, but before evryone starts calling him a "cretin" let's remember that when we went into administration he spoke out against clubs acting like vultures and trying to grab our players on the cheap. After his comment it all stopped; he offered us loan players and other clubs started doing the same. Those aren't the actions of a "cretin". OK he got this bit wrong but we all make that kind of mistake at times.

I agree he's a good bloke Tony , just got it wrong this time....

I remember clearly how when he got the Giants promoted to Super League almost immediately he called for the pulling up of the drawbridge and suspend promotion and relegation!

The guy is blinkered

Agreed, he's not the dark angel.

It should not have gone to print and he maybe should know better but hell he's one of the good guys in our game IMO.

agree with that and he was one of the ones who helped us out, no doubt his assistant put in a very good word for us too

I don't like his voice, never have

he's certainly right about the decline in the game and it should be reviewed, as comparing it with darts well then's a new angle to look upon it.

I just went to the championship darts last month at Sheffield and it was just a big drinking session I did enjoy the evenings entertainment but was hammered by the prices at £4 a pint, the food was also over priced as well but filled up at the burger bar before going in that was reasonable.
This was just a one off and I couldn't afford to do it every other week as like the away games with Trin. So I have no idea how he can compare the two organised events

Its simple, we have enough sides to make two leagues, bring in the promotion and relegation or east v west leagues, extend with new cup games using the academy teams only with the other championship sides like Fev (only joking ) and stop trying to compete with football

Perhaps he meant winding-up petitions?

How many times did Hudds finish bottom? How competative was SL in that time?Changed his tune since then.
