E.G big names such as Wally Lewis, Mark Graham, Ray Price, Steve Mortimer, Steve Norton, Steve Ella, etc all did a bit for us with varying success.
If we had cash or a Wally Lewis backer again, where would your money go?
Andrew Johns, Andy Farrell, Jason Robinson, etc??????

God

RAY PRICE-For his shear positive attitude and professionalism. A sheer joy to watch and the club as a whole could learn a lot!

Captain cash from the news of the world! If he's not available then we could write to jim'll fix it!

Can they both play prop?

The Wally Lewis backer famously never paid up shades of Pearman there. As for Mortimer it was Chris Mortimer we got not Steve and for me was a big disappointment. We were expecting a stand off and ended up with a guy who played in the back row. The story went at the time that we signed the wrong brother by mistake. It is nice to know that cock ups are not a recent phenomenon at Wakefield but have been around for years. Will things ever change.

Oh and Mark Graham was gone by the end of November in the days of the winter season and Steve Ella was gone by Easter in the same season. Two players who would have rolled their sleeves up in the current hole we are in would be Nigel Bell and Billy Conway. They could both put a shift in them two.

I remember Ella being class until he had to go home due to injury. He certainly gave us more value for money that Mark Graham and Brent Todd that season.

Rubbish

I know that man and he would be very disappointed to hear you say that. Also as the Clan who played with Wally says that it rubbish .

Thats the trouble with this forum, people can spout insulting garbage and get away with it.

Think I read that in King Wally's book.

Sonny Whakarau

He posts on here from time to time under the name of Falcon, he used to do that rowing thing after we scored and who could forget him being sent off at Haven when we secured the league title.

Danny Brough..... I know dwelling on the past.... but he adds a spark that we need

Oi!!! behave yourself, he's confused enough as it is.

Why don't you ask Barry if he paid up or not - he still goes to every game and drinks in the Belle Vue WMDC. As for being in the book - no chance - Ive read King Wally (Lewis's book) and he went for a pint with barry every night - Do you think he would have done that if he didn't pay him

Grow up - and post fact notrandom fiction - leave that job to Ted & Diane!!

nice to see you back where you been ?

Thanks for that

Wally speaks VERY highly of Barry... to this day!!

who would spark us... not sure there are any charismatic characters around who could do that...

except maybe Wayne Bennett.... but that would never, ever happen!

Ask Mark Conway, or any of the other players at the time, about the influence of Mark Ella following the departure of Graham and Brent Todd and i can assure you it will be a completely different story to the tosh you have written.
