Again, i don't think folk are unhappy With Murph and Gene, they are both adequate replacements and have both done a good enough job when they have been used.

Agree about Mamo though, Darnell has done nothing wrong and will only get better with more gametime, i'd be tempted to leave him at full back and put Mamo on the wing and see how he gets on there.

no smoke without fire, is broughs agent trying to stoke up abit of interest .... i think toronto have made brough an offer, been mentioned on here few weeks ago

he may well leave end of the season but for now its all talk.

brierley i feel could be tempted to a toronto too if he cant force his way back into the team here

if those two did go that would leave a huge gap in the salary cap! enough for widdop...not a fan of really

Hear, hear

I think he's quite used to fickle fans, but I do feel for him

Wow brearley som massive assumptions / leap in logic there- no smoke without fire? How does another club making a pitch for a player ( which happens all the time without anyone usually being the wiser) turn into a bust up with the coach and a p45? The piece in the scum was nothing more than shoddy journalism. He said he'd checked with tgeee sources- but he hadn't even attempted to contact, brough himself, rick stone, or anyone at the club - let alone get a no comment!
Brierley Forcing his way back into a team..... that he's not been out of until this week? We don't know if he's injured or dropped ATM
Widdop????

Yeah bit early to be writing Brierley out of the script yet, I reckon it will be well into the season before we have anything like a settled side, There is no need for panic, the only thing we need to worry about is staying out of the MPG, If we can make the eight so much the better " and we may well do that" We need to know what our players are capable of and where they are best played.

Apparently Gaskell had a decent game at half last week, That doesn't make him a Roger Milward yet, Lets give them time to sort themselves out, And Brough is just like most players, they have poor spells, that doesn't mean he has to go, He may just need a rest to freshen up, I'm hoping last week is a sign of things picking up, which granted they need to do, but being honest i wasn''t expecting much this season, and i don't think KD was either which is reflected in the price of STs

the brough rumour fails to go away, maybe broughs agent is putting a few feelers out or other clubs are testing the water to see if hes interested in any potential move

for now it seems its all rubbish but have a sneaky feeling brough may not see out his contract with us to 2018.

cant see brierley displacing either brough or gaskell if they start to produce the good, hes not injured he obviously has been dropped in favour of trying something different.

Not 'everyone' - just some.

Yes that's true mate, Murphy is still getting picked so RS must be happy with him, and he is not my biggest concern either.

If Wakefield give up their SL franchise we should be the first in for Tom Johnstone - great in both defence and attack.

here here

wakefield will be playing at dewsbury next season no doubt

Think you would well down the list if TJ become available.

Think you are right ,we would be well down the pecking order, But i think you probably meant to say when he becomes available rather than if.

we have been well down the pecking order on a few players in the past ... brierley an example!

If he keeps up recent levels, the Aussies may be looking at him before too long.

.................................and peacock !!......................ooops!

Would agree with this. On a plus side his fee would be decent

More likely to get a decent fee from a SL side as any fees paid by Aus sides count on their cap. U.K. Backs haven't done well with n Aus so they are unlikely to pay out a large amount.

if we can cash in somehow on brough maybe we should, we have had his best years now and not offering us much so far this season, kicking way off....and that was his strong point for the team

Hence my post about when and not if.

Take your point brearley , but which of our players is offering anything never mind much, Gaskell fair play is looking decent.

Who in the right mind is going to pay cash for a 35 year old at the end of his SL career who is out of form with his best asset (kicking game). No club are going to do that.

If I was Brough and Toronto are offering a good 3 year deal id take it as if he stays with us next season deteriorates even more .....after playing all season and the world cup he will have had a long year and at his age its going to take it out of him......he may not get a deal like it the year after.

It would be a good way to end his SL career having the world cup as well. Then dropping down to the championship of which he could probably play until hes 40.

by cashing in i mean letting him go if theres an offer from toronto... that would free up a big lump sum for us to sign some one new
