| Moley (Who is about as credible as they come in the world of RL) says that he has spoke with big Dave and there is nothing in the rumours circulating about a move away from Wakefield.

I think one look on his twitter feed tells you all you need to know

Followed by
"I think a few missed the ‘subtle ness’ of my last tweet. Let’s try this one. If you believe anything on social media, you are probably in the running to appear on Love Island"

| I wouldn’t beat around the bush, despite possible tellings off.
Fifita will continue to wear the red white and blue.
Let’s take a minute to appreciate DF.

And he also added the words ‘at the moment’ at the end. Which sums up the current state of affairs perfectly. At the the moment there is nothing in this. Things can change though and this talk will have been deliberately started for a reason.

Yes I noticed that end bit.
But it is down to us and we have knocked back big money offers for player before under MC tenure

You’re a little bit late for this discussion... Most are happy with Tyke, Wood often plays against tired sides where he is at his most dangerous hence why he is used as impact.

| Steve1g, your comparing someone who has played triple the number ir games Tyler Randell has played in the NRL.
On top of that TH has played SOO.
Given the quality of the league down under, difficult to compare really.
At the end of the day too, it is only hear say anyway, so unless it was true, and confirmed by the club, it is totally irellevant

It will be his agent putting feelers about and then pushing for more money. Happens all the time.

How`s about this one from our coach, a bit more direct for you.
"It just makes me laugh, I honestly don`t know where these rumours come from, some idiots on forums, maybe its a Cas fan winding up a Wakefield fan and we take it as gospel and next thing it`s all over, I will tell you here and now that David Fifita is going nowhere, he is here for the next 2 years minimum"

That would work perfectly
I'm not sure it was just forum rumour though. Looks like it came from outside.
Warrington have always been good to us but they've got money to burn, need a good prop and the coach that backed us up is gone.

Have they really ? I thought everything they have done has been for their own interests and not ours to be honest.
Also remember the Grix deal where we registered him to help them out. Can't ever remember seeing a benefit to us from that deal.
I don't believe all this goodwill stuff, all clubs put their own interest first and don't give two hoots about how their actions affect others.

De-registering...not so sure that happened but it take your word for it or just loaning a player for his benifit and the borrowers benifit doesn't remove him from that original parents team cap.
So Warrington carried the bags while the players looked to get game time and a future contact that they wasn't going to get from Warrington and Wakefild benifit because they may not have been able to afford to sign a decent player or even just fond one mid term...
It is thoughtful player welfare not casting away players...they were still valuable squad members out on loan...
As a current eg...
Wire have just done the same with Crosby. The guy was still in our squad...he played last week but we aren't going to renew his contract so we let him go to try a secure another elsewhere.
It's NOT casting off but if you are wearing blinkers you'll not see the bigger picture.
Grix and Riley have both led to our downfalls vs Wakey with Riley bagging a hatrick at the HJ against us....Smith allowed Wakey to play him against us.
It's not all cloak and dagger...!
Have a think about it.

| Completely wrong. Simon grix didn’t have a chance of playing. And the only way you could get Sandow in, was for us to take grix off your salary cap and on to ours. I’m still waiting for that favour to be repaid!

I would not waste your breath with RD, he will have some sort of source in his head that proves this is not the case. Even after Chester come out and said Dave will be with us with for the next 2 years minimum he still says there is something in the rumour that as far as I can see he was the one to mention it in the first place.

That has to be close to letting Wolves cheat the system? Poor do if so. There would be uproar on here if someone did that and it hurt our league position.

The only problem I see with it is that Warrington have never repaid the favour

I was going to highlight a few choice bits of the above but realised I would highlight all of it
Are you aware that grix never actually played a game for us
How stupid are you?

| Good grief....
I'll say it again...as I am wholly aware..YOU CANNOT REDUCE CAP BY MOVING A PLAYER OUT ON LOAN!
The cap still counts whether Grix moved, played or didn't...
As for de-registering I think it would only free up a quota spot not reduce cap either.
Grix was allowed to go (yes injured) for the same kind of reasons Crosby has...to hopefully find himself a new job as he is about to become redundant!!! Which he did and went on to be a fantastic signing for you.
Kind of like any good employer that would allow you to leave work to go for interviews whilst serving notice.
Sandow came to our club and his payment for half a dozen substandard games was differed until the season after...a loophole Wigan first exercised when they paid something like £450k?? for Fieldon and sent a cheated certain team around here down!!
Take the Wakey specs off and smell the custard. Wire are not your enemy...as for Wigan they cheated you good and proper.
