All sources on here are "reliable", we know that.

That isn't my quote about John Kear being announced as England coach, the Daryl Powell link was doing the rounds on the terraces at the Hudds game, I didn't pass any off as fact. This information is I believe is genuine and unfortunately for us I have no reason to disbelieve it.

Slug

He is on his way, was either now or the end of the season. We made a massive offer to keep him
but Huddersfield have gone way above. Don't know the full details of the compensation but
I think we will get a good deal

if true then fair enough, i would hate to see db leave but if we can get a load of cash then fine...robinson and brown won't be pleased though! atkins went and was replaced by a far better player! don't know how shudds can do it on the salary cap but you must know better !

trust me he aint going nowhere till end of season, and maybe even stay put,


well stranger things have happened, i even saw Atkins pass a ball tonight for the second week running

heard it today at the lads game 4 yr deal being mentioned, very brave of them if its true,
FWIW I think he has a shelf life and I think its starting to show super stardom passing last night was way off and then Morton for not catching it at his ear hole


he goes our bank balance will look better for it, fools be them

loved the wave and sign to the west stand from db last night!!

the guy is correct. he has played his last game for wakey. playing for hudds next week. good business for wakey. got cooke on a seasons loan, part paid for by kr, more good business and i am sure the young guys won't miss danny screaming at them when he makes a mistake

little sam looked better when brough was off.. and created more..cookie is a better kicker ! are shudds so jealous that they have taken so many players from us? how are they managing the cap? where are they getting the money?

I can also say the club have tried their best with this one but were beaten by the sheer weight of money that Ken davey can throw at their team. We put together a package that would give him security when his career was over but he is blinded by cash, we could do no more.

Infact I am sure we will come out of all this on top

I'll second that

I know , felt sorry for Morton on that one.

Brough great player as he showed against Leeds , but no one player is better than the TEAM .

It is a shame but who will we put in at 7 though?

Obst n BJ at 6 & 7?

Ben Jefferies or possibly Sam Obst but then we need another hooker
Cook in at 6

Davey and Latu with Sam when needed.

Well I suppose BJ at 7 then - dont forget at hooker we have Sam, Lats and Davey who looked good again yesterday

We must go Cooke & BJ, no other possible combination in my opinion. Cookey to organise and BJ to run, straight swap Cookey for Brough. We can't put Obst in halfs as that would leave us with Latu as the only hooker as I don't beleive Davy is ready for SL week in week out yet.

Personally I would like Cooke at LF, Sammy at 6 with BJ at 7 and Lats and Davey both at hooker.

I Know this means that captain fantastic is not here but I think at the moment he is at best an interchange player even though it pains me not to put him down first on the sheet

Wakefield have had no approach from the RFL for John Kear and would not welcome any such deal. Its fair to say John is a very popular figure at the WTW and to lose John as the Wildcats are enjoying a succesful start to the Engage Super League is pure speculation and unfounded. I understand why John would be linked with such a position because we all know that Johns experience in the game is very hard to find especially even more so the fact that he's English and the RFL announcing there wish to appoint an home grown coach.
John continues to work hard for the Wildcats and all was on display at New Craven Park on Friday evening and with further improvements to made to the Wildcats personnal within the next 3-5 days i can rest assure all Wakefield fans Johns ambitions remain truly to the wildcats.
To my knowing there only 1 job that John would ever possibly leave the Wildcats for and I can assure you its not England but a job within a club that remains close to his heart and the Club he supported as man and boy.
Also may I add Danny Brough has no ambition to leave Wakefield or Wakefield to grant permission to any SL Club, chairman,CEO'S or agents in taking Danny away from the Club. The club are in discussions with Danny about a contact extension and hope to announce good news on the subject with the coming months

Thanks for that, but this thread is about Brough...

Strange if true. Despite the popular opinion on this thread, Ken Davy doesn't throw his money about willy-nilly. And I thought it was Huddersfield policy not to pay transfer fees. Do you think it's possible Wakey are letting him go early to maintain harmony within the squad? There was an interview with Robinson in the press last season where he said that Nathan Brown saw him as a hooker. Perhaps it's DB to 7 and Robinson to interchange with Lunt at 9 in 2011 when Drew goes back to Aus. I have my reservations about Brough but can't deny he's a class player on his day. I guess we'll see if it happens soon enough.

Aspinall and Kirmond plus cash

It was to his son!
