Good win tonight, shows how much of an addition they will be to SL on the pitch

Oooooh you bitch

ARGHH!!! What an absolute melon head. If we went to SL with the current side, we'd be at the bottom of the table like you are now. The fact is though we have an additional 1.3 million to spend on the salary cap, 2 maybe 3 of those players who played tonight will be at the club next year. Get a grip, move on. We will be in SL, you wont. Just wait and see what side we have i think you wont be saying much then.

But surely when Widnes take their place in SL they will be a totally different side, a side packed full of Aussie journeymen including the left overs from whichever team gets the boot from SL?

Well it cant be Wakey that go down then with all the English youngsters, you must have inside information and know that one of the Hull teams are leaving SL

Sorry I didnt realise that any "on-field" activities should be talked about when we talk about SL, only the shiny new stadium! Also we dont spend the full cap, glad to see your going for good English youngsters, one of the first players to reject you was Lockyer the up and coming Englishman

Widnes have an excellent yoof policy. I imagine they'll be using the majority of these in SL. This is because there is no relegation and therefore there isn't the urgency to go out and get the quick fix Aussie journeymen and the fact is it's in the criteria for that very reason. So that's what they'll be doing - playing their youngsters.


I imagine.

Wakeytom, I'll sleep a lot better knowing that we targeted Darren Lockyer and not Ben Jeffries or Jeremy Smith. Both outstanding young British half-backs right there.

[size=50Sig material if we pick either of those flops up[/size

well lets face it, they're in now so dont need to try and tick anymore boxes.....they could play 17 kids every week now it wouldn't matter !

If you watched Boots n all last week you would have heard SOC referring to the factt he wants to bring in some big name experienced players to aid the improvement of our youngsters. We have 5 under 18s at the moment who within the next 3 years will be superstars in SL imo.

You see, what Wakey fans don't realise is that one of the major criteria for Super League is how thick a clubs' fans are. Wakefield will be demoted on this point alone.

Needs and must come to mind, and I hate seeing us play them as well, I would much rather see is with Broughy back in the side, but what happened there is a story for another day. We have a higher percentage of English players in the team week in week out than most teams, and with an average age something like 22-23 that cant be bad!

I take it that this is a direct insult to me? If so I thank you for that.

Ill be honest, i was embarrased watching that tonight. Leigh absolutely ran away with it, fair play to them. I'm just amazed at the amount of knuckle heads who keep popping up ploughing on about how we're going to get battered in SL based on these performances.

So your promotion to SL will pay yet another Aussie an over priced Pension, and before you say that about Wakefield all our over seas players will be mid salaried at best.

Well its time for me and my fishing rod to move to another pool, this one is getting over crowded and is like shooting fish in a barrel!

let it go.... its over.

Id rather pay more for a big name Aussie superstar who is going to aid the development of our youth than have mid salaried aussies like you said, in my squad, definately. We tried to sign Lockyer, hardly shows the lack of ambition we have and it doesn't at all hint to us signing a shed full of them

you wont see wakefield trying to sign him..... thats for sure.

They will though won't they

Forget the Hull KA jibes, it will be 'Widnes Australians'

SOC knows what he's doing. Everyone knows Lockyer isn't the player he was but my god he still has a lot to show for himself and would have been one of the biggest SL signigs of all time if it came off. I'm delighted by the prospect of SL but a lot of work needs doing o the pitch.

well if they do they do and if not then fair enough. Weve already shown as a club our desire and dedication to our youth setup and this is only going to improve once promoted imo.

Easy! Easy! Easy!

Leyther til I die!



Think my sig needs an update, you'll never beat the Leythers!!

Widnes will be a SL success because of his drive..... i think your town can still bring the fans in with the right team... might take a few years... it will work though.

I think thats what franchising is all about, slowly building on your strengths and slowly reducing your weaknesses. What im looking forward to is a 10k crowd at the stobart when wire and saints visit.
