I guess with most squads complete and quota filled it does give us room where other haven't. We all want 25 year olds with quality and miles on clock but sadly the tend not to come to us

Aydin and Miller confirmed as leaving

I haven't seen a confirmation of Miller.

Plenty of outs so far but not one single in.

When hopefully recovered from injury will be good cover at full back,wing,scrum half and stand off. Good utility value player for a SL squad.

Think we have to put some faith now in Willie P and the club . Not so long ago we were accepting relegation but that has been firmly put to bed . Listening to his interview I'm sure our shortfalls etc are known so lets see what happens over the next month or so .

On his Instagram account

To me the team needs good go forward and a solid spine 1.6.7.9 so for me Shaul would be good. For 9 hood is good with Kaye as cover but I still see the need for someone of real quality with freed up money. We also need a really commanding half to marshal us round maybe in Gale who I was against could do a job, I'm not sure. Then we also need a really good go forward prop to replace Fifita (The unreplaceable).

We will miss Tini who did all the little things well. Just my views

Big Batch



now I’ve heard it all. He may be many things but big he isn’t.

Also Arona and Fifita, yeah they were the right side of 30 weren’t they.

Yes but that’s not what he wants is it so there is a compatibility issue there. If it was what both parties wanted he’d still be with us.

All any of us can wait to see who we bring in.

Lol

You read it wrong.

What’s the rush in signing players , I really don’t get it .Or do we jump in and grab the first available and rue the decision later , or do we take our time and mull over available players so we get a good player at a good price who fits into the teams ethos ,or get stung again and we go down the Lineham route , and get a poor signing and give him 3 years .Personally I’d leave a few overseas places spare and see if we can’t snare a few after the World Cup . Poching has got us safe , now afford him some time to build a team before berating him and his plans .

Funnily enough, although not funny, I overheard someone in front of me at the game on the Thursday, and they mentioned this, and the change is going ahead, but we’re not going to be in tier 1, and therefore our signings won’t be anyone major.

Hope I heard wrong

You probably heard correct, what they said was quite probably made up gossip.

Back to the chip shop rumours

Why are you giving some guy in the crowd any credibility? They likely know nothing same as everyone else.

We've lost 7 players.
2 retired, one going home, ones been injured forever, one is complained about more than any other player, one played a couple of games this year and went out on loan....and one is a great prospect who just wanted a change (and money)

It's just a change over of personel and I'd say we need it.
Both Warrington and Hull KR have let more go.

Sounds like a bit of idle gossip.

He has stopped going in George a Green, a long time ago though.

Sounds like you are getting a little bitchy there PT

I've no idea why you think that. Who exactly am I being bitchy towards?

Dont worry PT, I’m thick skinned, and yes, probably idle giig

These departures though, and the way players have announced it first is a bit strange to departures from the past.

I certainly wasn't having a go at you EW.

What I'm saying is that although the list looks big, if two are retiring that isn't anything to do with us.
Dave we tried to keep, and get his brother. Both Willie and Dave have said that.
Tom of course it would be good to keep but we have a pretty good replacement and we need to have players on the field.

So it doesn't strike me that the club is trying to reduce things. Most are just timing for those players.

Miller is the only one I have any kind of grievance with, as he's going to Cas. He must know that's a big deal to Wakefield fans. So although he of course needs to look after his family, if he goes to Cas, his reception at Belle Vue isn't going to be good.....whereas I think Tom will get a great reception.

Pop Tart think most fans know T J leaving Wakefield is the best for him playing for us as held him back big time .Think been at a club with a bigger squad should keep T J fitter .You can not say he as not given a lot to Wakefield .Miller going to Cas not to botherd give a lot to the club and as loads of undeserved stick from fans

I agree on both.....but I still don't like him going to Cas.

You just know what chants Miller will get next year ‘You Cas B…….’. It’s all part and parcel of the game. I think if everyone of those fans person to person met Miller they would be full of admiration for him. He’s got to do what’s right, his kids will be in local schools, travel time… etc, he needed to stay local. I have no grievance with Miller and respect his decision, I’ll be joining in on the chants though
