he is on contract and that contract should be adhered to.he came when others were reluctant to. let him go on loan and someone else pay his wages.

I am pretty sure by employment law you can't be 'sacked/released' whilst you are on 'sick'

Tony,Smith,Penny we obviously have a recruitment genius working at our club

Dean, Mariano, Johnson (p), Rinaldi, Higgins all seem to be going ok and I'm sure there are others I've missed off.

Yes they sure are looks like lessons have been learnt it must have been a richardson who signed those three

I doubt Richardson would have signed them. It does show though that no coach gets it right every time but we get more right than wrong I reckon.

Lets hope semi is a right call also

Add Howarth and Vievers not been too bad in games he's played.

I think you will find that we had no players and around 300k to spend on the full squad at the end under the Ted era. So all JK was doing was trying to find some experience with not very much.

I think over the winter Kear signed the best players that were available and willing to come to the club that would fit within our budget.

agreed

Aye, did the best we could with recruitment. They haven't all worked out for the best so far but it was never going to. Happy to be muddling along reasonably well with what we've got!

He did but people have short memories and everyone else knows best.

Its that simple.

Glad some sound reason has prevailed on this thread.

It's obviously going too well for some people. Need to search hard to find something to moan about.

It's also worth noting that the 'person' who started this thread about 'waste of money overseas players', is on many other threads advocating the signing of more overseas players to replace the ones this thread is about.

and for just in case NG4BC missed it the other 1000's of times it has been stated

[size=200'=#FF0000MOTU TONY IS ON A PAY AS YOU PLAY CONTRACT, SO HE IS NOT COSTING THE CLUB ANYTHING WHILE AND SITTING IN THE STANDS. SO IN SIMPLE TERMS =#FF0000NO PLAY = NO PAY[/size

These players were recruited when the roof was falling in around the clu, who exactly did you expect them to sign

Yet he didn't sign any of the good ones, ffs give it a rest.

actually i agree with you all about jeremy smith, but id be interested to see what Motu Tony can offer, maybe have him on the bench to add impact as he can play FB,CENTRE,WING,STANDOFF,HOOKER,LOOSE FORWARD

I actually am in agreement with this...I do think that M.T will add something to our side when or IF he is ever fit.

Jeremy Smith- I think he is even more shot than Tony, so I am not sure what he has to give.

Isn't Motu Tony on a pay as you play deal?

I can't see Jeremy Smith playing much rugby at Wakefield this season.

YES! YES! YES!

Are you sure, not heard that before.

I'm not clear on what the situation is with Motu Tony - can someone explain it please in simple terms, without resorting to technical mumbo-jumbo and industry jargon?

Muddy waters cloud the issue, can't say really.
