Disappointed I can take DG!
Surprised - I would have been surprised!

Brough out , Grix in ......

grix in looking like the one, i can only see this being for him to be a future coach at the club, maybe robinson stepping upto to assistant and grix taking over the academy.

woolford obviously doesnt rate rankin

losing brough and ikahihifo???? hmmm we shall see, must be some players coming in and some big ones for them to go

I posted this a few weeks ago but it was just something I’d been told without it been cast iron. Is this something you guys have heard from your side or is it just lazy journalism that has been picked up from these sites? Now it’s been picked up by league express, it’s popped up on the Wakey board.

One thing is for sure.

If the club want to sell season tickets they need to get some players in (and out if need be) - and soon.

The lack of action compared to other clubs is disappointing to say the least.

The club made their signings last season - the academy lads who were given full time contracts, they are the long term answers rather than short term signings.

There has been a disappointing silence about the place. Same old Twitter/Facebook/email posts telling folk how cheap the product is. But absolutely nothing else.
Still no news on Uate.
Mamo, Mason, Farrell, Sam wood, Murphy, no announcement about these guys for next year- and some must surely be known.
It would just be nice for the fans to know- and if players such as mason have now moved on it’s disrespectful to those players not to publicly thank them for their past service on behalf of the club and allow us to use social media to do so as fans.

do we need uate?
jerry, darnell senior x 2 murphy, 5 wingers already
plus potentially mamu

There's an article on loverugbyleague saying Mason has been released and is ont slks with London Broncos, but as you say Jools nothing confirmed by the club

mamo left
mason released
farrell signed again
wood signed again
murphy signed again

whats happening d j spill the beans don't know whether to renew my season ticket if they arnt going to be competitive

Nobody should have to come on a forum looking for someone to 'spill the beans' before deciding whether to renew their season ticket......

It's a pretty pathetic state of affairs.

the pathetic state of affairs is the club not releasing anything other clubs manage to do

I agree looks like Brough is off to Wakey and we are getting Grix in exchange. I have heard that Seb is also going and that Rankin and Turner are also not in the coaches mix. I hope that we have a few deals lined up but surely the club should keep us informed on what is planned or not as the case maybe,after feeling very optimistic at the end of last season I am starting to get a bit of deja vu on previous years bad starts to the season. Just for the record I and my family have re newed our season tickets as usual.

You would not run a corner shop the way our club is run the lack of information to fans is both pathetic and sad. As I have said here and many other times elsewhere nothing will change as long as Thewlis in charge. Our syndicate will not be sponsoring a player if Grix is brought back as a player

yes it is quite poor about not knowing about mamo

mason has been released, sam wood gone on loan to batley next season

murphy? hes signed up again, bit like taai did but no one knows!

must be holiday time at the club, they have put out a job advertisement for a media person!!!

well through the grapevine it looks like

brough and ikahihifo out, rankin out, thorman out

grix and uate in

must be some more irons in the fire yet though still to announce, we will just have to be patient

already got my 2019 season ticket, bargain!!

If you look at Wakey s squad last year and ours and ask the question which one was the best then think about the fact that Wakefield’s squad was £400k cheaper than ours and that illustrates how badly our club has been run with lots of players who are not very good being paid lots more Money than they would get elsewhere.

Us 5 have not renewed as yet. Can’t say anything coming out of the club is encouraging me to do so- telling me s product is cheap isn’t enough- or actually very encouraging.

please dont ever use Murphy and wing in the same sentence again. He should have moved from the wing about 4 years ago.

true, but still, how many we need?

well obviously a big name halfback to replace Brough is badly required, as one previous poster said, we are spending money on average/poor players like gaskell which restricts out spend on other players. Club has been so badly mismanaged regarding signings over last few years. Wakefield get great value for money , we get terrible

Of all the team and unknowns going on it’s the question marks over Thorman that leaves me most frustrated.
When he was intrim coach it was like a breath of fresh air, the communication we had been begging for over players fitness and selection were being answered. Paired with his passion was just what we needed. Just honesty rather than a club spin or worse yet silence.

Prime example Gaskell, he disappeared from the team sheet after the Wigan game normally no mention would be given and the rumour mill starts refusing to play, sick note, out of favour.... Thorman states he got a cut pans it has got infected....all rumours and Ill feeling stop.

We as fans have not rite to know all the ins and outs but I feel the club would benifit from some information as situations like now Seb/grix/brough/mason/Thorman/uate just spark negativity across the board which could all be sorted with some insight.

Seems like the club are losing momentum and feel good that was built up since Woolford came in. Shame really the platform to get fans on board was there

Thought Mamo was still an option following his NRL move falling through?
