As no one else has offered him the money he wants, maybe our valuation was more accurate than his. Who knows?

| Going back on topic, the Toulouse game is the most important game of the season because its the next game of the season. Just like the Wire game will be the most important game of the season when we meet them. I didnt think that we were up to speed with the Whinos or the conditions on thursday and all the moaners who thinks that was the 1st 17 are wide of the mark. 2x backrowers in the centres, a debutant winger, Milky going off within 5 minutes of kick off, Linos first game of the season. It was the perfect time to play us. Personally I think we will be looking around the 8th to 11th spot with the likes of Salford, HKR, and Cas.

| I don’t believe we offered him a contract. I guess we decided to use the money elsewhere.

| Quote ="Kirmudgeonlyisback"Whilst I always thought Toulouse at home was going to be an important game it’s now pretty clear that this game is now a must win. Toulouse have capitulated against all the teams they’ve played so far but a win at Belle Vue could give them a realistic chance of avoiding the drop.
Presumably in addition to the long term absentees we will also be without miller possibly Jowitt. Apart from lynne are any of the other outside backs likely to return ?
After last night am genuinely concerned about this game - you’d think we could beat them in the forwards but our wide defence looked like what it was yesterday -'"
So if we win we are guaranteed to not get relegated… ?

Did the club let him go, or did he refuse to re-sign?

You know for sure he wasn't offered a contract, or is it a guess like your last sentence?

| Get our best players back on the field and we are a match for most ,just look at the HKR score last night ,and people still moaned because we lost at the champions place after putting up an almighty battle , yet saints go over to a supposedly top 6 side and blown them out of the water . What did people expect when the majority of our back line is absent ,give the lads some credit against a near as dam it full strength leeds side . We’ll be fine this season ,you heard it first here ,I’ve seen enough at saints to know that when we have bodies back and heads screwed on, tuned in ,the wins will come , of that there is no doubt .

they both work out the same way whether he was offered a contract and refused to sign or not offered one

Not quite old mate not in the context of your post anyway, which had more than a hint of sarcasm added

These are my thoughts having reflected on the Leeds game. There was never as better time for Leeds to play us and get the points.
The first half was dreadful and it really did look like heads went down BUT, not so, the second half exceeded expectations and in the end wasn't too bad.
Be interesting to see if Croft is playing against Tolouse, surely Walker will if Milky is out?

This looked true until just after the Saints game. Following that we were hit with key players dropping out whilst Leeds had key players returning allowing them to field a really strong side. The bookies made Leeds 1/2 favourites and gave us 8 start and that was before we were without Miller from the 3rd minute.
I guess now Toulouse will be thinking that there will never be a better time to play Wakefield?

I don't believe he was if I remember the club's statement on the issue.

True but I'm certain it was stated 'officially' as opposed to on here, that the club did not offer him a contract. So in this case you're wrong as far as I'm aware.

| Hands up who just thinks Turner every time the name Rocky pops up? Remember a Wire player called Rob Turner who also had the label and the same result.

Yes I also remember the club’s statement so no it was not a guess. I think you need to check before you post rather than let your prejudices blind you to the facts.

| Either way, he isn't here.
Or anywhere else for that matter.
And although I don't know this, it's likely he isn't coming back.

I do and I wish we had him at loose forward now-but even I as an ardent fan admit he would have to clean his act up a bit.

As it stands I’d suggest tolouse will struggle to win a match
I’d suggest we’re only a little in front,
I hate saying it but we’ve gone in to a sl season with only one prop (Dave) that has a chance of breaking the line (I like s as Arona and Battye a lot so don’t feel I’m bagging them as they give 100% every time but we lack size and that is critical
I also don’t see us getting a roll on from the forwards against any team except Toulouse
So based on that if we don’t beat Toulouse our chances of relegation are very strong
So I would say if we beat then we have a much stronger chance of not getting relegated

No you didn’t specify which team we’d beat
All you did was act in a childish and pathetic way

You really are a hypocrite, it’s all you ever do. I’ll give you one thing you’ve got some nerve.
Just read your own posts and then look up irony.
