In light of the recent circumstances, I don't think we can refuse any offers!

I wouldn't be too sure if I were you.

whats up with Southernwood

never mind Obsty



sibbets comments was quite funny

"It came out of the blue but as soon as Bradford came in for me I was ready to sign."

Sam Obst is an outstanding player; consistently one of the best we have, every year since we signed him.

Unfortunately, someone in the know at the club tells me he has signed for Whitehaven.

you have to be jesting

Sam Obst is one of our very few one hundred per; it doesn't always come off for him and his commitment can sometimes lead to frustration, but I'd rather have him here than not.

Nothing, he's done well. I expect he'll get some more 1st team action next season but we could do with some experience in the halves.

Just a thought unless that someone in the know at the club is the same bloke causing mischief by telling us all different things, then assuming we all have our own abundance of moles' on here how come our attendances are so poor

Sam will be at wakefield for a long time to come. He loves it here.

Ha ha

I remember those rumours, it seemed to pop up at the end of every season.

Big rumour on our board that he's joining us as of tomorrow.

Thought that was Kyle Bibb

ha ha!

I bloody hope not.

I hope not for your sake as well. Heart and Brain of a pea that lad

While still only young, I can see why you released him.

Would you be sad to see Obst leave?

I am 50/50 on it to be honest. Undoubtedly whilst he has been here, he has been one of our most consistent players, tackles well above his weight and comes up with some good bits of individual skill. However, he is a quota player and he is not the controlling scrum half we need - so it would depend on who was available to replace him as to whether I would be sad to see him go.

I would wholeheartedly agree with that. I like Sam and what he does but you have to question whether a quota place could be better utilised. Having said that he would probably not be my first choice of quota player to get rid of.

im a big sam obst fan both as a player and a representative of wtrlfc and frankly id rather have sam as the known 100% effort player than another quota player who may be too cold, not wrapped in best linen etc etc, question to the whole forum, have you ever ever had the reason to questions sams effort and commitment, and would you take 16 more like him, if slightly taller?

honestly are you serious, even if obst left which overseas player would we get for peanuts. Charlie is probably leaving because he wants 10k more as his contract is low. If he leaves who will replace his quota for what we are paying him, no one of any quality ala tronc will come as we have no money, poorly coached and no garrenteed future.

you have more chance of sam turning up on the moon than him turning up at odsal. the only place he is bothered about going at the moment is cancun.

As he turned up yet?

Sam is a huge asset to the club, hes the kinf of player we should try to keep for a long time.

They have signed knock off Nigel instead.
