I gave my opinion thats all. No need to get offensive or start the name calling.

No envy whatsoever, and got no animosity towards Gareth at all. I really hope he does make the grade. All im saying is that is Wakey are looking for an instant 'hit' then Gareth isnt that. If they are looking at 18 months/2 years then who knows.

And if you read what I said, I never actually stated that Ian Preece is a better 7 than Gareth, simply that he looked just as effective, especially this season where in the games he has played, he has been more or less anominous. John Kear has forgotten more about this game than i'll ever know, but so has Karl Harrison. So in many ways your saying KH knows absolutely nothing by not having Gareth as first choice recently. Coincidently at a time when we've won 4 out of 5 games.

With the greatest respect to JK, who I like alot as a coach, i'm sure he's made a few signings that havent worked out, just like other coaches, so it's pretty illogical Quinny to say that just because John rates him, that everyone else's opinion is garbage. Especially people who've watched him play 20-30 live games.

I normally post on our site, but always like to read other clubs forums (though very rarely comment), and posted on here simply because it was a thread I was interested in.

For what its worth i've always had a soft spot for Wakey since standing on the terraces during the early 90's with my dad's mate (big Trinity fan), and watching the likes of Bell, and a young Nigel Wright. I feel genuinely sorry for your club at the moment, and really hope the rumours are wrong. Wakey deserve to be in SL far more than the Crusaders or Harlequins, to name just 2. Maybe its due to current circumstances that JK has been left with little choice in terms of recruitment, but could you have imagined Wakey signing someone who wasnt even an automatic selection at a Championship Club 2 or 3 years ago. Thats really the jist of what I was trying to say. But again it is solely my opinion. However it isnt an opinion based on envy or anger towards Gareth Moore, who did a good job last year for us. I've also met Gareth and he's a nice lad, just in my opionion not as good as our first choice halves (Mennell and Handforth) or at THIS MOMENT in time for SL.

End of the day its all about opinion. Just no need for childish name calling because my opinion differs from yours.

P.S and i've seen Wakey 6 times this season, and Ian Preece wouldnt do any worse than some of the players i've seen at FB or on the wing for you.

Grow up you fool, im one of possibly thousands of people on RLfans to critisise a player and give their opinion on one of them but you seem to think it's something out of the ordinary, get real for christs sake.

No need for personal insults.

This:



looked like more than your average fans criticism of a player and suggested more of a dislike for him as a person than a player. If not, you could have just said so.

Meanwhile, I hope he goes well for us and your predictions don't come true - I can't see him being the answer to our short term lack of creative spark, but he could be one for the future.

Have to say, I really don't like this signing we already have Matty Wildie who is a much better player and a wakey lad. Also i am sorry to say this signing singles the clubs fears of losing its licence and moore signing is preparation for next season.

How do you explain Hickey's signing then?

Which in its self isn’t a bad thing

Whatever decision is made in July the club needs to prepare for both outcomes in order to have the best chance of a) making a good go of SL should they retain their license or b) be as prepared as they can be by having a settled side in which to achieve the necessary on-field playing criteria ASAP to have a chance of coming back up in 2015.
