| Anyone else remember him saying I would like another contract at Bradford because I love the club and the people here?
And then after signing for Wakefield he said he had thoroughly enjoyed his time here.
Changed his mind now ......
Quote The former Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors player claims he stopped enjoying rugby league during the latter stages of his spell with Bradford Bulls and jumped at the chance to work under the former England boss.
“I had an opportunity to stay at Bradford for a further 12 months but I felt my career was going a bit stale at Bradford,” said Newton, who has signed a two-year deal with the Wildcats and was unveiled to the media today.
“I wasn’t enjoying my rugby as much as I should have done. For the last season or season and a half, it was getting a bit monotonous.

| Well Terry, is that right you weren't enjoying your rugby, I wasn't enjoying it watching either.

| Fair play to him for admitting what we already knew.
If Kear gets him fired up, he'll be a good player for Wakefield although I predict he'll spend a few weeks of enforced sideline sitting next season if that's the case.
Terry at his best is both a wonder and a liability.

| So Basically Bradford wouldn't offer him a 2 year deal but Wakefield would.
This is typical player talk after a transfer.

| The chap is basically serving his paymasters. Any fan wants to hear "My old club X was no good, I'm loving it here at X and am settling in really well". It'll be happening at every club.

Nonsense.
If a player is at my club he 100% genuinely believes and means everything he says to the press, your comment only applies to players at other clubs.

| yep does seem like cos he hasnt got a 2 year deal at bulls decided to stick book in and say he wasnt enjoying his rugby and he had gone stale.for the last couple of seasons newtons been crap and we only started to play better as a team when he was out injuried.think his ego was bigger then his ability and may be he was the cause of some of the rifs in camp. im glad hes gone and hope he gets a big welcome hit when bulls play wakey

| To be fair, if I was playing as bad as he was last year, I wouldn't have enjoyed it either.

Scruton did not slag the Rhinos off when he joined the Bulls!
But there again players that loved their former club wouldn't would they?

I don't think he said every player does it. He simply said it goes on at every club.
Of course, ex Leeds players would never slag off the Rhinos, as they are the centre of the universe eh? Just like whenever someone moves to Leeds, he is immediately joining the club of his dreams.
It must be nice to have such incredible blinkers.

| He was a waste of space for the majority of last season, perhaps this explains why? I think we'll be a better team for the fresh start and brand new playmakers.

I'll settle for ones that can actually make plays if it's all the same to you

| He'll be no different at Wakefield imo. He plays now to pay the bills and thats about it. If ever there was a player that should have been a one club man it was Newton with Wigan. He was never signed as a junior instead going to Leeds and when he eventually made his way to Wigan he looked like a different player. His game went up a few gears at Wigan and then when he left it went back down.
He'll be no loss for Bradford imo and I don't see his form improving that much at Wakefield.

| Kear has the ability to rejunvinate players who had gone stale at their previous clubs for various reasons. SHould be interesting to see where he lines up - i can see him running at LF for big chunks of the game as I think Obst is set for the 9 shirt interchanging with Latu.

I think that's a good point. There's no way Obst will not be playing a major pat this season after last.

Indeed.
I think if Obst ended up playing a bit part in favour of Newton starting every week, it wouldn't be long before Obst was rightly after a move. He was better than Newton last season and I see nothing that suggests it will be any different this season.

| Newton will be on a fair wedge. I can't imagine him not being first choice there.

Newton doesn't have the pace or fitness to play LF anymore, Plus it'll be easier for him to go hiding if he's in the back row.
