From the Courier
“We have a good working relationship with James Elston and the Wakefield club and we thank them for their co-operation in this matter.”.
Let us Fans be the same, Eh?
'"
I agree 100%. My issue is not with Wakey, they do what they have to do to survive. My issue is with the RFL who are, inept, corrupt and morally bankrupt.

| Quote ="Uptoncat"Very bitter. You didn't deserve your place otherwise you'd have got the invitation. Amazing how you know the finances of our club. Weve just sold nearly 4000 season tickets and over 1000 shirts in less than a month. James has been loaned to you to get him up to scratch if he's needed for us in super league, at the moment he isn't ready for super league week in week out, u20 rugby wouldn't improve him where as a stint at a top end champ club will improve him no end. Good to see your club have put aside their difference and formed a professional working relationship with us. Now it's just the fans who need to realise that you weren't ready and hope your club takes the rfl advice in order to gain a franchise next time whether it be in place of us Cas Salford Bradford (who are going backwards in my opinion) or whoever else.'"
Uptoncat you like most SL fans have 'swallowed the RFL spin' my friend, making a statement like 'following the RFL's advice' is very dangerous, I may come back in 3 years and tell you the same IF you don't get a franchise next time and see how you would take it?
The thing is the RFL are corrupt and we all know it, even SL fans but the problem is its like being in North Korea, you dare not say it or else they 'get you back'. Its do as we say not as we do in RL, when it goes your way RL fans are happy but they forget it may not always be like that!
As for your earlier statement calling our Chairman childish that was just plain daft, he was speaking from his heart and showed his frustrations after we did everything asked of us as a club the RFL stab us in the back and even make us say sorry for daring to speak out by writing our own later reply.
Oh and yes it still rankles us that even though we are financially stable and do not rely on one a sugar daddy to prop us up they keep a club in SL who rely on the owner of a double glazing firm to pump his money in yet that is better according to the RFL???
Anyway good move getting Matt and thanks.

I don't really care what a few fools on here say, i have lots of friends who support Fax and i wish them well.
I enjoy visiting the Shay and will continue to do so when i can and no amount of talk on here will change that.

I don't think you understand the facts, AG as steadied the ship and tidied up debts, the rest is down to the fans and if we don't respond we'll not survive. In short AG does not have that sort of money and the RFL know that.

Last season as far as im aware we paid Jacob`s wages as well as giving Hudds a fee for his services. I would suggest that if Huddersfield wanted to offer us a similar situation this time (and i have no idea if they are) that we should say no. It would be better to come to a permanent transfer arrangement with them if Rhino was going to consider re signing the lad.

He did yes,
Moore had his problems during his spell at Fax, but there's been a pretty large change in the playing staff so who knows, might come again, hopefully he's a little more grounded now rather than thinking he's the best halfback on the planet, The statement he came out with after signing at Batley "If I don't get to a Super League club i'll look to the Zurich Premiership" shows he believes his own hype and perhaps its time he starts to live upto it

| Quote ="The Lucky Black Cat"Which club has been in administration in the past 12 months?
Which club has still done nothing about the stadium?
Which club will get hammered in a few games this year?
Which club faces the strong likelyhood of being kicked out of SL in 2015?
I know I would rather trust people who have brought a club forward from the jaws of bankrupcy in to one that makes a profit and has done something about the stadium. Fax were not prepared to play russian roulette and told the SL lot what was realistic. Wakey wrote a load of BS and once again made promises that the RFL keep falling for. I am happy where Fax are on and off the field though improvements need to be made still. If Wakey fans really believe the BS coming out from their club good on them. But the club has a poor history of actually being run in a professional manner and fulfilling what it says. The fact remains that Wakey are one if not the worst club in SL. You also have now one of the worst coaches if not the worst in Agar. He really went well at Hull didnt he.
Why did Wakey sign James if he is so poor? And surely questions must be asked about your conditioner if he is so overweight? You played a reserve Leeds team and were beaten by 16 points. Looks like another Long season for Wakefield whilst Fax will have a very good chance of being in finals. Crappy team? =#FF0000Interesting we shall see how crappy this team go. I know for a fact it will win more games and play better rugby than Wakey.'"
lets hope we meet in the challenge cup
in the mean time put a bit of sugar on that lemon you are sucking on

| Quote ="freddies wig"No lemons.
Remember, the RFL changed the administration rule on franchising to keep Crusaders in SL. RFL people worked at crusaders and didn't see their demise coming. Only someone pulling the plug Crusaders saved the RFL's blushes.
Wakey benefited from this and fair play. You would have been booted out had crusaders not folded. You know that. If you had been kicked out, Fax wouldn't have replaced you anyway, widnes would have so why would we have sour grapes?
Our problem is this, and it should be yours too, the whole mess that is licensing shows how big the RFL's balls are. Shows how they will bend rules to keep favoured clubs in, shows how the whole thing is subjective to how the RFL perceive how the make up of SL and the running of the sport should be.
If that doesn't concern you, and fans of super league clubs struggle to see it, then just wait until the RFL deem you as even more unfashionable. By then it will be too late!
Wakey have done well to stay in SL, them being in there gives clubs like ours hope, and I wish them well. But let's not pretend all is well with the sports administration. That is our problem
That and the fact the guy in charge of the whole sport gave us the nickname "Bluesox"
Clueless'"
Best post I've read on here for a long time!
James WAS excellent for us back in 2009 but that's when he was a full-time SL player and Welsh International. Every time I've seen him since for Barrow et al he's been a shadow of what he used to be in my opinion. Hopefully if this loan move comes off it will be win-win as he'll be eager to get his fitness and class back and we'll have a barnstorming prop!
Oh and James won't be our best forward, Penkywicz is easily.

i do think we will add some duel regs before season start mind. Rhino has too many connections in the top flight not to abuse them.

Wakefield put out a lot of 2nd string players such as James and Moore but obviously James playing well will have done his chances of playing for Wakefield the world of good but I heard that he had fallen out with Agar but if thats true or not I don't know.

| The official line from the club was that we were speaking to wakey about a number of players. So something maybe about to happen. Would expect the club want it doing ASAP so any player(s) can fit in smoothly.
