that's where his shirt belongs !

back to tronc...doesn't seem the same player over the last couple of games, interest gone and not running or offloading like the first few games ! shame but no excuse for not fulfilling your t&c's old boy ! keep him until we receive something in return!

Let trump go he obviously feels the queensland sun is more appealing than sunday nights in mustangs. Let him go bring in that samoan prop ehere rumoured to be getting and get on with it.

Roll on the trin!!!!

i know im gonna get shoot down here but here goes me without a mod hat on........

Shane thanks for the first 6 games and i hope you enjoyed your free holiday . You got to see wind, rain , hail, snow , frost , ice and a little bit off winter sun in the northern hemisphere and got paid for it . now its time to be voted off the coach party by the sounds off things your bags are packed so jog off to heathrow (pay for your own tickets) and sod off home because your just taking up a valuable spot that some kids (trout ) for one would die for . i hope for your sake the game pays off because the broncos are only offering a contract till the end of this year and although you made a big impact here its back to being a stickleback in the Atlantic ocean.

please go now and as for Wakefield keep hold off his contract until some one as the courtesy to pay some compensation as im sure brisbane , tronc and troncs manager will all be gaining something.

tronc go home now!!!!

Totally agree with that; he looked like he couldn't really be ar*ed against Wigan, and that's disappointing from a professional who is, as you say, still under contract.

I also have little sympathy for the homesick wife story; two weeks ago he was in the press saying how well they were settling here - his words, iirc, were "happy at home, happpy on the pitch." Fast forward two weeks and his Mrs is trapped indoors against our arctic weather, wearing a cork hat and watching back to back episodes of Neighbours? I think not.

If we let the big fella go without adequete compensation, then we have once again been right royally rogered.

apparently as the story goes flights are booked and its not down to homesick wife> its to do with the club not coming up with what was promised eg quality of accomodation etc. shouldnt we be looking for a quality replacement with all the money that doesnt get spent> transfer fees for brough and atkins, where does it all go??? come on ted give the supporters of wakefield trinity something to shout about and put your short arms in your deep pockets. 22 quid friday fair enough we won but dont take libertys to make a quick buck out of 8500 fans

and not gives us anything in return. What looked like our most promising season for years is falling apart at the seams and by the look of it its down to greed!

Interesting first post. Whinging blooming players....surely it can't be as bad as Nathan Wood's 'company' car?

If he leaves without Wakey getting any compensation, as has been suggested then you would have to think somethings a miss on the Wakey side.

Simple fact is we should say 'Then off you go Shane if your'e homesick but we are keeping hold of your registration until a compensation deal is in place should you get a contract within the NRL'.

Thus if the Broncos want him that badly and he really wants to start earning again then its all down to the NRL club to sort it all out and not ourselves.

Plenty of stories flying round Adie.

Do i know you?
Were you a goalkeeper that played for Barnsley?

As someone has already said - its only a few months left - just bear it out man.
If however he continues to play in a "lack lustre" manner, ship him out and bring back Stosic.
I agree with maintaining his registration but would this mean that we also had to pay his salary and would not have his quota space back?
It would be typical of us not to get compensation - as with Elima - as we think its "for the players own good". We need to think about the club, that's what's left, sod the players who have left the ship - we should think about what's remaining.

Sorry, but I don't get this. I think we do pretty well in trying to get the best deals in terms of compensation for departing players, and I don't for one moment think we'd let Tronc head back for free if we could get something out of it. But you can't get what's not there to be had. Maybe there was a get-out clause in his contract that enabled us to sign him in the first place? (I don't know whether this is the case, btw, just speculating.)

oh - and where's the Ellis / Solomona and Nigel Wright money whilst you're at it?

Bye Bye Tronc, never ever have I been so angry with the way a player has conducted himself. I agree with many a poster who suggest his wifes home sick bullpoop is just a front and gives him the ideal opportunity to get a dream move to the biggest club in his home state.

FWIW I think if he was completely honest with the club and the people who pay his wages and said 'this is an opportunity of a lifetime, a boy hood dream' then he would have many peoples respect. The way he has masked his desire to join Brisbane behind reasons that his wife isn't settled is just pure immaturity. For a lad who is 28, 6ft 4 and 115kg(ish) you thought he would be man enough to go about his business in a more respectable manner.

As for you Tronc, not getting personal or anything but im sure the Broncos will release you at the end of the year, you was not in there plans when the Cowboys released you last season and when they return to full fitness you will probably be playing reserve grade. I just hope for your sake that you are retained by them because if you rejoin a team in the ESL you are bound to be the subject of abuse from many a supporter.

That is on the verge of getting personal, and is petty imho!

On a side note, l also think you are wrong, he was one of the better Props in the 2nd half of last year, and the cowboys did not want to lose him, but had made the decision earlier on.

yes they made a decision and stuck to it , tronc made a decision and went back on it. hope that's not to harsh

That is life....deal with it!

p.s they did not "stick to it"....they were at full cap so had no choice.

Whilst Tronc is a Wakefield Trinity player he will get my support. Sometimes things don't work out but that's life. Everyone makes mistakes but slating the guy isn't the right way in going about it, maybe people should channel their energy in supporting the guy.

Get a grip! That is a pretty pathetic post.

hang on you were defending troncs decision some people are angry he went back on his word , deal with this the cowboys had little faith in him so ditched him for another player wakey signed him and he picked up his game possibly due to the confidence installed by the wakey deal. by the time the cowboys released that he was a prospect they did what?... houndered the contracts they already had because that is life.
Brisbane could of had him but they thought more of other players then they lose a couple for the season and in good old salary cap dogging style de-register them to make way for tronc who as dreamt of playing for brisbane until october then if the other 2 players recover there will be no room on the cap for him .
he comes up with some bull crap excuse that blames his wife , what will your feelings be if he signs foe leeds next year?

TRONC as cheated us , Deal with it and take your head from his booty

Agree we should keep his registration and also agree that knowing us this is unlikely to happen

i hope we never sign another overseas player because since Ray Bexendale came in 81 we have signed so much dross and being let down so many times its unreal I do not no now many we have had but very few were any better than British based players i could name about 12 that have being worth having
