sam obst could be an option havent really rated him and for me only would be a 1 year deal but then he can cover both halfback and hooker

if wakey dont get an licence which looks very likely then we should deffo look at some of there players some good young players in there aaron murphy,paul johnson(young prop) paul king? lol but seriously tho its a very young team with alot of players wanting to prove a point and earn potential super league contracts

Murphy and Blaymire definately. Agree with the previous poster too that in the current climate it will be difficult to raise the cash from 'normal' fans.

I think having such a shambolic club in SL does immeasurable harm (and I am no fan of Quins or Crusaders either), but seeing their disgraceful ground and the constant begging-bowl is just a joke.
Thay have had money, but chose to waste it. Who's fault is that ?

The "founder member" argument isn't really valid though - so were Manningham, Halifax, Runcorn, Oldham, Tyldesley, Hunslet, Brighouse, Rochdale, stockport, Batley and Broughton !!! So what ?

Given a choice I'd have Halifax and Widnes in for Wakey and Quins, with Crusaders given 2 seasons to shape up or ship out.

I just wonder if the RL will be as quick to offer £700,000 to Wakey a club that has battled for years to bail them out as they did so readily to Crusaders who have been bust thre times in two years.

Although the Crusader's debt was due to a previous administration I suppose. From what I saw of the Crusader's setup last season they do look like a properly-run club though, and going there is a hell of a lot better than going to Wakefield (apart from the distance).

Wakefield have had a lot of money through their hands since promising a new stadium back in 1998 (remember that their first SL application was refused and they only got in by promising a ground). Spending money on players doesn't seem to have been a problem to them does it ? Remember when they signed the likes of Prekkie and Goulding and then realised they couldn't afford them.
Sorry but I think life in the Championship could forec them to sort themselves out. It hasn't done Widnes much harm, or that other team who play in our city.

I think someone else deserves the chance - hopefully Halifax !

How can they sign players if their so skint? Why didn't they spend to their means?

Get barrow in, widnes would be pointless.

Actually cas are an expansion club (and the most succesful expansion club), formed in 1926.

Dont know where you have heard that mate but its not in any way, shape or form true.

Over a number of post I have come to the conclusion that you spout ill informed claptrap!
