What's that song .... 'Things can only get better'
Well I flamin' hope so!

why don't they ask the fans which players they should bring in, this would then take away the fault from the club and put it directly in the fans hands

Jaimie Peacock, Adrian Morley,Danny Brough, Matt King, Ben Westwood, Israel Folau, Jamal Idris, Cameron Smith (to keep Feline happy),Nathan Hindmarsh and Jonathan Thurston (another for Feline)

Get me these and I'll put my hand up.

"It wasn't a serious suggestion "

You never know on here.

your over quota straight away, what about big Willie Mason

Quota schmota, who's bothered. Tell em we're Welsh.



I reckon we should get Alan Tongue from Canberra Raiders. Who needs a Big Willie when you've got a Tongue

Too kind, squire.

no doubt the head master will be calling you in tomoz for the stick

Here's my take.
BLAYMIRE (5/10) - Gone backwards this season. Still OK under the high ball but suspect and slow with every other aspect of defensive play.
BLANCH (3/10)- Very poor. Get rid
GLEESON (3/10) - Very poor. gone,
MILLARD (3/10) - Season summed up in his Salford performance. Poor
GEORGE (5/10)- OK as the panto dame.
JEFFRIES (6/10)- Average and inconsistant.
KORKIDAS (6/10) - solid, but unspectacular
FERGUSON (5/10)- going backwards, No big loss if he does move on.
MORRISON (8/10)- Consistantly one of the top performers.
DEMETRIOU (5/10)- One season too many
OBST (6/10) - Headless chicken
BIBB (3/10) - Heart as big as a pea. Let him go
JOHNSON (4/10) - Past it.
HENDERSON (8/10) - Up- with Morrison as a regular top performer.
MURPHY (8/10) - Injury prone but the seasons only success stories
KING (8/10) - Our top forward since his signing
LEO-LATU (7/10) - Hot and cold.
COOKE (4/10) - Poor
MORTON (4/10) - Not ready for SL. Too small.
DAVEY (5/10) - Not really had opportunity.
MOORE (4/10) - Liability. Lost ball, missed tackles, cheap penalties.Would let go
GLEDHILL (6/10)- One for next season. Steady year after a big start.
KIRMOND (8/10) - Sorry to lose him.
LEAENO (6/10) - Improved during his spell. Could be used to good effect.
RINALDI (6/10) - workmanlike, good cover - would keep

Well, for those with poor scores, they can always change careers to being male strippers. Or actors, though their pretending to be a professional rugby league player may rule them out of that.

That 'morale boost' from those events didn't last long did it?

(3/10) yer aving a giraffe surely

WMDC NEED TO BE CONTACTED, THE FOLLOWING STUDENTS NEED INFORMATION, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE, THEY ARE AT RISK OF BECOMING NEET (NOT IN EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT OR TRAINING)

I wonder then at what point he's planning to apply some of this 'flair' to generate ideas around say, improving the match day experience, marketing the club properly, communicating effectively with fans, making sure the website is updated regularly and designing a decent offer for potential ST purchasers?

Hmmm I see lot's of this personally.....
what would you suggest Sir Alan,,,, I presume that I am talking to Sir Alan Sugar

This has without doubt been a very unsatisfactory season. If as we all hope, we attract a new majority shareholder who is able to invest much needed capital into the club may I make the following suggestion. The position of President of W.T.W should be held by Neil Fox, a man who is respected throughout the game.Without Neil's timely comments the club would not have employed John Kear and we would have been relegated, he is always in attendance at our home games and as a figurehead for our club would certainly improve our chances of a new franchise. The present holder of the role is Sir Bryan Nicholson, I don,t know how or why he was appointed, if he has contributed anything positive to the club or even attended any matches, because I doubt if anyone would recognise him anyway !Anyone in agreement ? President Fox sounds good and as he is a Freeman of the City how could Peter Box possibly refuse his demands

Whilst I applaud the idea of having Neil in there, I think you should be aware that Sir Bryan Nicholson is part of the Community Trust and has therefore contributed quite a bit towards our club.

He was the Chairman of BUPA IIRC and as such is a 'big hitter'.

Be careful, not Wakefield Wildcats Community Trust


Wakefield and District Community Trust

Thanks - I keep struggling with them!



The one with the Stadium!

Yes you are and for your weak sarcasm and failure to accept that supporting a club needn't make you blind to it's obvious deficiencies - you're fired.

Meanwhile, I haven't seen Mr Elston have much impact since he arrived at the club; our marketing in particular is still absolutely dreadful, as is the matchday experience, with the Wigan 'Golden Game' debacle representing the ineptitude that exists within both those functions. Communication with supporters is sporadic and disorganised and as far as I can see, there is no genuine suppporters voice. We have a new website that often contains out of date news on the front page and we recently launched an overly complex 'membership' offer, closely followed by an incentive that was perceived to disadvantage those of us who are most likely to buy said membership.

The light at the end of the tunnel however is a potential change of ownership; a new owner will hopefully bring a level of professionalism to the club that will finally move us away from the family run, corner-shop attitude that, in my opinion, holds us back.

There is a level of irony in Sir Bryan being chairman of the financial reporting council though

THATS MY TAKE ON IT.

Positive's - Murphy, Morro, King, Kirmond & Obst
Improvement Required - Gleeson, Blanch, Korki, Johnson, Moore, Cooke
Consistency required - Latu, Jeffries, Blaymire
Par - Millard, George, Rinaldi, Morton, Demetriou, Ferguson, Hendo
Future Prospects - Gledhill, Davey, Leano

Thinking back we've had an although lot of injuries to contend with this season. I'm expecting Ferguson, Blanch, Murphy, Morton, Gledhill, Davey, Jeffries and Blaymire all to improve due to their experience this season or through overcoming injuries (i.e. Blanch's serious injury) & Jeffries will improve with a consistent and dominant SH.

Obst a positive? deary oh dear, every time I've watched you, he's rushed out in defence and somebodies walked straight through.

He ain't rushing, that's just how slow the rest of em move!!
