Stephen Wild said last night that he wasnt having his contract renewed next season.





What everyones opinion on this then personally i think he will be a loss.

This isnt no rumour its from Wildys mouth himself....

TBF i think everyone knew he would be leaving due to his injury problems in recent times.
Cracking players for us but he hasn't been the same player in the last couple of years.

He is only 29 so has a couple of years left, would be a decent signing for any club if he remains injury free.

think we all knew he was going this season

a loss yes but he maybe it is time to move on, still struggling with that knee and got kirmond coming back next season to replace him... aspinwall has also proved a very good second rower

wild had a blinding season few years back which earned him a GB spot but form gone abit downhill since.

great servant over the years though just like whatuira but players move on... and in both cases we have the replacements anyway..

can see these two players taking up a good chunk of the salary cap too

I would be too sentimental to make decisions like this. Has been a great servant for our club. I will never forget that time hechased the player back and stopped a certain try ( he did this on many occassions).

Always gave 100%.

Despite this time catches up with everyone.

wherever he goes and whatever he does i wish him alll the best and would gladly buy him a pint if i bumped into him.


Thank You and good luck Stephen Wild.

i have a great memory of wild scoring a long distance try v catalans at home... won us the match in the final minutes... his legs just looked to be going infront of him and the rest of his body being dragged along

!

one of our fastest players when he actually gets into his stride.

i cant say its a big surprise,always gave 100 % but i think the injuries have finally taken their toll
good luck to him,he's been a brilliant servant for us in the last few years and an integral part of our recent success.

was that the one vs bradford and he chased dave halley? that was a belter, itwas definately a certain try for anyone else. great chase back!

Certain to go down with injuries each game, but a fantastic player and great athlete who will always have my respect.

One of the commentators in the CC semi made a point that summed him up perfectly...79 minutes played, 30+ tackles and he is still the one chasing fastest and hardest to score the winning try.

A Class act Ste Wild.

For some reason I seem to think we was going to Hull FC. No idea why I believe that - but I just wonder if this has changed with Tickle turning his back on his agreement to come to us.

Surely one of the most professionalplayers ever to wear aC&G shirt his dedication and inspiration to those around him is immense. Phil Clarke said on the SL show a copuple of years ago he would be the first name down on his team sheet.I wish him all the best for the future. Perhaps he could stay on a pay per play agreement?

If he stayed on a pay per tackle basis he would probably be the top earner at the club. If this is definite then surely he will get a decent contract elsewhere.

I presume things have changed with Tickle going back on his word.

I for one think we should sign him up, yes he gets injuries but who does not, one of our best players, i think it would be stupid to let him go. When it gets to big games he always performs, we need some experiance in the pack and he is very versitile.

heard a whisper he was coming to salford

heard a bigger whisper hes going to bulls, cant for the life in me understand why we are letting him go, one of our best defenders and a pretty good support player, i for one hopes the club changes their mind and offers him a extesion to his contract

Injuries in recent years have simple seen him on the side more than on the pitch can be the only reason.

I think Wild will be on a good salary and with the club already having an abundance of second rowers it may make financial sense. I can actually see another couple of second rowers joining him in departing the club.

He has though been a great player for the club. To say he is injury prone is a bit untrue. He has had a major knee operation in the off season and apart from one other spell on the sidelines in 2008 has hardly missed a match and eventually all players will pick up some kind of injury in such a physical sport.

2006 26 super league games
2007 27 super league games
2008 18 super league games
2009 26 super league games
2010 9 games so far

i would not say this is the record of an injury prone player.

I stand corrected, I thought he had spent more time off the pitch than that.

Give the man another contract dammit!

Wild is again injured and is carrying persistent injuries with his wrist, knees and shoulder. It would be suicide by the club to keep him on a contract. Also very foolish of him to mention this and put it in the public eye as he has had no offers from other clubs to date.
