New Wakefield owners confirmed today, would be very surprised if Walmsley, plus others, aren't now also confirmed within next few days.

Yep, from their side he’s the one who signs the checks so to speak also won’t be the only club who are waiting to see if their one of the 12 chosen ones, or how close they are to see if it’s worth it.

Well played Wakey. Every trick in the book not to pay up, more fool Walmsley going to an empoyer who clearly can't value him that highly.

Suppose we ought to be glad Lachlan contributed or we may have lost him back to Oz without recompense..embarrassing for their new ‘money consortium’ penny pinching shysters hope it implodes soon and badly,they’ve enjoyed undeserved lofty status for years..

It shows how committed Lachlan is to play full time RL. Not many, if any, players would use their own money for a transfer deal.
He has shown Wakefield what a committed player he is even before putting his boots on for them.

is defence was not brilliant and gets cought out a lot one of them swinton trys in that last game he was shocking. I am not sure he will be the starting winger at wakey

The bit in the article about him going back to Aus if the Wakefield deal didn't happen stinks for me. He was contracted to us for next year yes he had this super league release clause in his contract but for him just to walk away and leave the club if he didn't get his own way says a lot about him and i do not mean that in a good way.

Still seems a bit of a strange decision for me .

Gone down in my estimation after reading this article.

Not going to lie but it would be funny if Wakey did manage to sign Tom Johnstone back.

I am not defending the guy per se, and how it has been reported makes one think he has acted like a spoiled child, ie if I don t get my own way I am going home.
Look at it another way for a moment, how would Fax fans have reacted if a player did that to a perceived ‘lesser’ club and joined Fax in the same way? Would you be saying all the negative things about them or saying it is a players right to want to improve and play at the highest level available to them, we all knew it would happen and he would move on/up.
I’m just hurts how it has been reported, Wakey don t come out of this smelling of roses, if they had paid up first off every one would be disappointed but wished him the best.
