The rumour about Aiton to Leeds was going long before Kath Hetherington had anything to do with Wakefield. Think you are looking for things that are not there to be honest.

But we can't afford to offer players like this contracts, ideally we need players of this ilk still contracted to their respective teams so they can pay their contracts!

Might be an opportunity with FC to do just that. Moore wouldn't command much, and either through player sales or a revenue increase there will be room in the budget to recruit.

An injury prone quota player may not be that high up on the agenda, regardless of his quality when he plays.

| Quote ="jacques"I really like Aiton,but to say he would run rings round McCurrie, Belly and Billy is ridiculous.
Its the old chestnut of past v present,relevant to any sport.
The greats of the past fast forwarded to today would benefit from all of todays modern methods of development and been even better.
Or perhaps they may even have had that touch of individualism coached out of them.'"
Sadly your last sentence would certainly apply to McCurrie the biggest "off the cuff", and my favourite, hooker seen at Wakefield.
It's a travesty of the modern game that his style of individualism has all but coached out of the modern player;I watch junior rugby every week and it starts there.

You coulden't have blamed his awareness though just a bit to heavy on the boot and if it did come off we'd of been praising him. I hope he doesnt do anything this season that he doesnt have to do, such as trying to offload all the time etc.

| Quote ="asmadasa"Aiton following Amor, Tim Smith, Mariano,Wilkes, Cowling....
Hull KR dragging their feet over signing Cockayne, is it due to our well advertised financial plight that the longer they leave it the more chance they have of getting him for peanuts rather than £30,000 or financially are they 'creaking' as well?
Whatever is said on this forum Aiton has weaknesses as most players do but he is still one of the best hookers that Wakefield have had for a number of years and he will be badly missed in the middle of the park next season. Best of luck to him.
We now don't have a genuine hooker in the squad. Hopefully WTW manage this carefully and ensure that a revolving door announcement is made for Aiton with a reputable signing coming in such as Liam Hood with Wildie being re-signed.
We are not financially creaking my friend but as a hull kr fan I am just as frustrated over the cockayne saga dragging on and on but I trust our board to do in the best interests of hull kr.

I was aware of that Gotcha but I was referring to `future` monies paid to KH to come from the Rhinos.

| As someone already posted KR could be trying this in waiting until we say just take him in a free to get rid of wages. I hope we keep him as not the best player but a player who you would go to war with.

| If Aiton goes, of course it will be a big blow.
He's an import and can be replaced a lot easier than Amor.
For every Paul Aiton or Tim Smith you bring over, there is always another two or three waiting to be given a chance in Oz.
This is possibly the reason why Aiton is being allowed to move.
Would be more distraught if Kirmond went before any of our overseas.

| Think this is yet another sign of the deals Glover did with the players, apparently Hull KR directors fell of their chairs when they tried to sit down with Cockayne and his people. They could not believe the deal he was on at Wakey. He will need to take a pay cut to move to any other club. That said the wages Glover paid are not the players fault so good luck to the lad, I hope we can keep him as he is just the sort of lad you want on your side when the going gets tough, a 100% effort everytime he pulls on the shirt, as fans we can not ask for more on that front. I am sure that with some good coaching he can improve his decision making and positioning in defence.

Last rumour I heard was Warrington. Although if you believed every rumour about DK he'd be turning out for about 6 clubs next season.

He doesn't have an agent for a starter, he is on a decent wage at wakey but not out of this world for a player of his calibre.
So Hull KR are prepared to pay 30k for a transfer fee but then they wont pay a little over the average Superleague salary.
A stumbling block was the length of contract on the table.
I hope Ben stays and wouldn't be surprised if he did.

Possibly with a lesser squad than last year, Cockayne has the type of attitude to keep a team going forward when the team is struggling.
Was mentioned that is the fee equivalent to what Ben can bring to the team?
For me, no.
But if HKR can come to an agreement with Ben, he will keep Rovers going when they are struggling with the loss of Dobson.

| Not a big believer in players going back, Ben was great for us and have a lot of time for him but thats gone and we have moved on. Would like to see a move for Poore if there,s a chance. As for dobbo...we move on again, will see a different KR next season.

| Seen as though we're a bit light on the squad front, now only having 19 registered players for next year
Looking at the people that are either OOC or have been released for next year, they're not exactly brilliant replacements, but are capable of doing a job for us.
Ben Cockayne & Liam Kay- Jack Briscoe / Michael Robertson / Liam Colbon / Adam Swift / Rhys Williams
Paul Aiton - Paul Mcshane / Liam Hood
Justin Poor & Kyle Amor & Oliver Wilkes - Richie Moore / Keith Mason / Julian Bousquet
Tim Smith - Michael Witt / Nathan Ashe / Thomas Bosc
Vince Mellars & Frankie Mariano - Constantine Mika / George Griffin / Gregory Mounis
