| I may have missed it but there seems to be very little mention of us getting anything by the way of compensation/a fee if tronc is gonna be allowed to leave. it's too easy for a player to turn round and say he's homesick and then him expect to be allowed to leave his contract. if he wants to leave it has to be on our terms. if he doesn't like it then tough, whats he gonna do play deliberately shiit all year? what will that do to his chances of getting another club?
unless brisbane have a wad of cash or a player to throw our way then for me it's tough, you're staying and if your missus doesn't like it then tell her to piiss off home.
For god sake we are talking about a monster of a man here where the hell are his balls!
SHANE STOP BEING A PUSSY AND AT LEAST SEE IT THROUGH UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON WHEN WE CAN GET A REPLACEMENT(S) IN

You obviously remember the CVA, players not being paid, every season scraping finger nails to stay above water, the volunteers of this club sweating buckets just to keep us afloat. We done 5th last year, and are in a position to accept the same this year.
Crisis. WHAT BLOODY CRISIS?. We are going thro' a transition. And out of which we will still be WTRLFC.

| Rumour has it, if you are too release Tronc to the Broncos, then Ashton Sims could well be heading the other way. A player that has lost his way a bit in recent seasons since his move to Brisbane from St George. You could do worse though!

Tronc (or his wife) want to go back home and allegedly Brisbane want him, more unfortunate circumstances then financial problems. Brough was sold because of his money troubles and resultant attitude (he can be a pain in the when he wants to be) and Huddersfield could offer what he wanted. Wakefield couldn’t.

| Would a socccer club release a star player, for nothing, because he was "homesick" and a massive club were willing to snap him straight up?!?!?
No they would milk it for everything they could, because they are a business, as are we.
Realistically, if he were to give us time to source a suitable replacement and repay his wages, fair enough!!

Yep and nothings changed on that point. Do you honestly think you were the only one who knew? The difference is that everyone else had the best interests of the club at heart and kept their mouth shut until it was more official. The glee with which you posted and have done again shows to me at least that all you're interested in is gossip and attention seeking.

Correct, utterly pathetic over reactions especially when you consider the Newton and Tronc situation was/is beyond the clubs control and Brough is just Brough.
We have been the victims of bad luck however things change.

utter crap what I heard and I ain't putting on here,
there's so much that has happen to our club in the last two seasons anything could be said and believed,
this club thrives on being the underdog and bites the arris of our clubs on a regular basis, its time we dug of heals in again because I'm a sick as most on here, just when we get a good start to the season it all starts to look pear shaped,
we need this stadium now

| Bad Luck. Pretty unfair to Wakfield. Half way through last season Tronc could not get a decent contract in Aussie. Wakey sign him and then he has a great back half of the season at the Cowboys. He comes to Wakefield and has a great start to the season for Wakefield and Brisbane want him.
I don't think Wakefield have any chance of holding him because you can't play origan from England. Like I said, bad luck Wakefield and good luck Tronc. I still think he should honour his contract. I bet Simms is part of the deal and compared to Tronc he is going to be really disappointing. He always seems to screw up when it matters most.

| If the reason for wanting out is really his wifes homesickness, we should let him go, but on the condition that he can't play for anyone else this year - then we'd soon see if it's homesickness or the prospect of a top NRL contract that makes him want to leave. I'm tired of Aussie players thinking they can waltz out of contracts at the drop of a hat, leaving a team which has put considerable time and expense into bringing them over here in the . Whilst I understand it's impossible to make someone play for you if they don't want to ([ia la [/iBrough) we must make sure if we release him we are adequately compensated, either with players or cash. A Wigan poster has suggested that we make him buy himself out of his contract with us, and I would have no problem with that.

for us to be compensated we will need to let him play elsewhere.... i actually think the lure of playing for Brisbane is just too much for him lets hope if he does go he don't end up being a little fish in a big pond.
he aint the only homesick player in our squad you know

| Of course, you're right Mutley. It just hurts to acknowledge (yet again) that we are, in fact, the little fish in the SL pond and as such find it hard enough to attract good players - which makes it all the more galling when they want out after only a handful of games. God, we really need this stadium...

| Indeed. We are little fish. That's just the way it is.
We are still 5 wins out of 8 and going well. Not time to panic yet.
