Still, more time to negotiate contracts without Brough umming and ahing. If the plan falls through earlier than it would have done if we waited on Brough, we have time to form a contingency plan!

Point is, I think we're better off with this saga dealt with.

Not happy with Kirmond on loan until the end of the season at all. He may be a good player but where's the benefit long term for us. I accept he may be useful this season but he will be back with Huddersfield next season.

He's coming back from a bad injury, Huddersfield are covered in the pack so they send him to us so that we can give him Super League experience and get him ready for a return to Huddersfield all fit and more experienced for next season. Seems we are doing them a favour.

If it was a permanant deal then I would be happy but it looks like we have been "goosed".

I'm sure not many will agree with me but I guess we will have to see what the final "deal" is when its all announced.

might not need to bother, looks like the french are willing to put their money where their mouth is. shudders might have missed the bus.

I can think of at least one person who will agree with you, as that is pretty much the argument they posted on the Giant's board (pre poster cull). And I have to say, it's hard to argue against. A much better temporary fix for them than for us, if this is the case.

Just can't see Danny going to France - but who knows, 2 years tax free, maybe he'd like that?

One can only hope

danny .. go to france please and let's see all the shudds reaction..after all, you are only after the money ! perpignan region is beautiful with far better opportunities for yourself, wife and kid than anything you will get over here!

Reading not a strong point ?

The majority dont want him

Heres hoping he DOES go to France

I'd rather have him from the end of the season so we can get him match fit and all the bad habits like holding down out of his system

is the reason this hasnt yet been completed down to the fact we have another interested party in a certain Mr brough.

apart from the wages we are paying him to not play, we can offer him to the highest bidder.

and before anyone starts i dont mean just cash transfer fee's but the best deal for wtw

Thought holding down was the first thing you taught them at the goatfarm?

The prob that the WTW have is if they hold out for too long they may end up with nothing for Brough at the end of the season?

It's knowing when it's best to part with him, I am one who would like to see Brough at the Giants as feel he is a good player.

But depends on the deal on offer TBH, we are doing ok at the moment, if he goes to Catalans so be it.

I am sure DB will do what's best for himself and good luck to the lad.

im confused last week many giant fans said we were living in cloud cuckooland if we thought Kirkmond would come at all but its seems we were right with that.

its so funny that Huddersfield who do everything to their advantage are now chasing this signing, maybe its time for ken to crap or get off the pot.

That sounds like you are personally chasing the deal there mate. Maybe Ken is just inspecting the plumbing?

As several of my fellow fans agree - Brough is a 'Que Sera Sera', it doesn't matter one jot if he comes to Hudds, stays at Wakie or flies off to Catalan. We're in no rush if (as a Wakie fan above wrote) we will be paying both his and Kirmond's wages.

most accurate statement ever

It makes life easier for Kirmond, not having to worry about whether the money is there to pay him

If we get Danny Kaye as well as Fat Boy Slim we should be ok for half-time entertainment anyway

yes of course its all about making life easy for Huddersfield and their players , hence why a player you are very interested in still is sitting games out.


but of course there's no way you would let kirkmond go as stated ages ago in these threads . big u turn and epic fail at damage limitation into the posts made on the huddersfield sites.

dangle dangle

But it states in league express Wakefield could not agree terms with Kirmond, that does not sound like a loan deal to me.

Its a done deal.

as it stands it is a loan deal to the end of the season. The meeting was held today but would not tell me what had been said.

Go read em again, theres a difference between letting someone go on loan and letting them go permanently.

Selective reading again, no change there

there's also a difference between saying we don't pay fees then paying fees ,

selective trolling , no change there.
