We were indeed intrested in greg bird, and the players in bold, are going from what ive heard, leaves a few quota spaces for tronc, morrison (does he count?) and our new aussie 6



Hope to god blanch stays.

Does Petersen count? He's "American".

Anyway, can't see Solo coming back. He was a legend at the club but can only lose his credibility by coming back. Don't think he'll be the man he was.....and I'm pretty sure he and Kear didn't see eye to eye on a few things. There was a big deal about him leaving to go to a better team and us having a more balanced team without him.
Why would he come back?

Anyway, Morrison I'd have like a shot but it would have to be a pretty stiff medical to prove his fitness.

Evans happy if he come back. I think his loan signing was as much a factor in us staying up as anyone else. He scored some pretty crucial tries and we were leaking tries badly through his side until he came in.

I can't help but disagree with you here, way off the mark in my opinion. Superb player and a great lad too.

i've heard this mentioned a lot, is this pure optimism or is this a certainty?

excellent player, would have him before just about any other rumoured player. that said people are bemoaning the fact we haven't signed him when in reality maybe he wouldn't come or we dont have the funds to match his offer? just a thought

we are signing 30 + year olds and getting rid of our youngsters it is a sad state of affairs!

Still don’t know whether NGB4C is a troll or not but it’s a bit of a knee jerk to suggest Trinity are replacing all their youngsters with 30+ players all because Pitts, who was out of contract at the end of the season, has joined the team he supported as a boy.

2 great signings. as for george and murphy. think murphy is a great prospect and should be playing this week imo. put grix to 6 to see what he can do. as far as george is concerned, seems to be constantly injured. think we have got better coming through. maybe we should let him move on.

Were letting go martin, drew and maybe another 30+ players, so were not creating a dads army team

We are getting rid of 32 players??!

you really need to come and check out the academy on a sat, our youth development is at this moment is taking massive strides, plus the 10 that has just signed

its great to see but will we ever be able to hang on to our better young players when the likes of Leeds Wigan etc come a calling

yes but we make them good then get rid of them its annoying.

frankly you need to look at the economics...
yet again im being boring but..........
west ham in football terms invested in bringing players throughn and had the best academy around..see joe cole rio ferdinand, frank lampard, etc etc hey knew they would lose them but they also knew the revenue from theri sales would keep the club alive, albeit with a small ground and a small following comparatively.

i have no probs if we create 3 and lose one to keep 2 and keep the club afloat, its the game and its business, we lose pitts to pay fergi more im happy!

il allait y aller quand même, vous ne pouvez pas forcer un joueur à jouer pour vous

snowie your lost mate!
you thred sat nav has gone nuts

I have allways said wakey are very similar to West Ham I aren't joking I have compared us to them before we are quite a like.

no just checking to see if he was a catalan supporter in disguise

superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=14782 maybe he could be on his way!

superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=14782 maybe he could be on his way!

no doubt he is a great player but im personally not interested in a 33 year old injury prone aussie, there are surely younger more promising and cheaper english lads out there

His record does not make good reading for this season and at 33 you would think it's unlikely to improve.

exactly, if you look at the likes of wilkes, a young english lad, he has made giant steps over the past 2 seasons, morrison is steadily getting worse.

Wakefield need to be looking ahead to the next 5 years or so, morrison (looking at this season) will give us half a season...at the most!'"

Not really, you have to blend experience with youth. George is miles of and Murphy will simply have to battle.

Drew is 35, our best player this season when playing of course.

Atkins, Gleeson, Grix, Ferguson, Murphy, Southernwood all under 23, added to that I suspect a couple more will get squad places from the Academy next season.

It's just my opinion but I feel the youth cared is overplayed. Frankly it doesn't matter to me ho old the team is or where we get them from so long as they function. There's enough youth or there will be in our squad next year to make me happy.
