if there a club has over achieved lately its widnes they managed a win the other day


so according to you say we finished 5th two yrs on the trot will we under achieve next yr if we finish lower or over achieve if we finish higher

Now that Hudds have lost we only need to win one of our last two - easier said than done I know but with Hudds massively inferior points difference it's in our hands.

Should we manage it tonight and due to the weather it's looking i bit more of a possibility then young Hampshire might be in with a chance but it's down to him and his team mates.

Assuming 5th spot is worth 75k then this must give MC a little wiggle room or at the very least give him the final piece to his 2019 budgetary jigsaw.

I can't imagine that MC makes offers to players based on what we 'might' get as prize money so I'm assuming (and please feel free to correct me on this Daddycool) that once he knows for certain that we have this 75k should he wish he may be in a position to up our offer.

Basically it's down to the team to fund squad building in this case so over o you lads and lets see what happens

Suppose that works based on a one year contract but I'd like to see Rocky tied down longer term. What frustrates me more is knowing what an extra 1000 on the gate would potentially give MC to work with. What else exactly do people in Wakefield find to do?

Spot on.
Hopefully Warrington will have their eyes firmly fixed on their semi final game and "stay on the bus" next week, which would help us secure 5th spot.

Wakefield are not going to bring in more fans unless we start to win things it just wont happen. Sad but true

True but that applies to every team.

1979 was the last major trophy we contested - that is a hell of a drought and one that would stuff up any team.

Of the teams in SL, all have tasted success more recently than us with the possible exception of Salford??

So yes you are absolutely right - the Stadium matters of course it does - but nothing beats winning and we have sucked at that for far to long.

If I have one complaint regarding this season it was the pathetic exit we made from the CCup but then again it was only one in a long line of similar exits - you can't blame the Wakey public really.

Looks like his leech (agent) is trying to drum up interest reading the article on total Rl.


Bottom line is "we have had speculative interest from one SL club"

That would be us then

Apparently there is another update on Ryan in this weeks league express, has anyone read it?

Yep...says we are almost there at agreeing a deal with him

Fingers crossed - the longer this goes on and the more interviews he/his agent do talking about money will only harm his relationship with the fans.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark that his agent is Mr ShowMeTheMoneyUK.

Craig Harrison, don't know if that's who you're referring to?

Maybe the fans should not listen to gossip and have a bit more faith in Hampshire's desire to play for the club.

Spot on chissit oh im old school sorry but ive said it before max ,jordan etc winds me up so much

Fair comment but........
This has going on in the public domain for months

What are you like with "Rocky" then?

I can understand your concern, and the silence is deafening but unless we know what's happening behind the scenes surely we should not question the effort being put in by both parties assuming there is any, maybe things have already come to a conclusion and an announcement will be announced one way or another when the time is right, the club has kept silent on all the perceived transfer dealings for next season, so what's the difference with Hampshire's, I'm sure the chairman's got the clubs best interest at heart.

Drinkwater has come onto the market now as Catalan have released him to take Matty smith on board .From what I’ve seen of him this year an excellent playmaker ,and really fired Catalans up.
So hopefully if things take a turn for the worst( which I hope they don’t) there is another quality half back up for grabs .

Not unless he can become a British citizen

Could be off to the Whinos

Aye, the gossip. Not his pre-cas match interviews with trin tv and bbc radio Leeds or his agents comments in the papers

Hampshire is so not worth all these talk and money demands,look elsewhere I say.

How many British scrum halves are available and are better than what we have.

Never used it wollo i call him hampshire
