nothing cloudy here mate I don't like the guy never have,
4-5 yr ago yes he could of worked wonders now he couldn't deliver a parcel for royal mail
I await to be proven wrong

No thanks, have never liked him.

That word says it all for me, offer Walshaw the same money instead.

This club should no longer be a retirement home for players who would give us the time of day unless in last chance saloon.



NO

bet many didn't like the idea of Higgins joining us and look how thats turned out

look at the position we was in and where we are now

they are miles apart

Higgins does a decent job he signed for a struggling side to prove himself, the old Wakey if you like.


This has to be NEW WAKEY and we must look to improve not stagnate.

If Senior probably is still in the top 5 centres in the game, then sure to god Leeds wouldnt have released him as I doubt Callum Watkins is in the top 4.

Hes had it, if we sign him and I hope its a big if, he will want a good pay day and I doubt he will play half of our games next season with the injury problems thats going on.

Agree with one of the other replys further up, offer Walshaw a similar deal to what Senior would expect and then look to the future.

We need to send a positive message out to players, fans and the wider RL that this is a different Wakey. We don't need to beg over the hill players to come here.

Don't like him personally, however if he had a full medical and proved his fitness I would take a punt.

Correct and it won't be easy and we'll all have to be patient but thats the only way forward.

I don't understand why you would think like that, spend the money on Walshaw and keep hold of Murphy and George, or as you say take a punt on Senior.

Murphy, George and Walshaw for me.

No for me, wouldn't go anyway near him.

Not the kind of player i think we should be signing and he wasn't interested in us two weeks ago, we are in a position of strength now would tell him to whistle

I totally agree.

I guarantee however that if Mr Kear remains in charge, this is exactly the type of signing we'll be making; he lives in the past and trades on past glories, hence the media stitch-up job that him and Senior are doing on us as we speak.

Well Glovers not onto a winner if thats the case.

We have a once in a lifetime (well mine anyway) chance to step up and we must take it, fresh start = bright future.

Position of strength?



Take a look at the League table sunshine. You're down there in the twilight zone propping up the rest of us. And as for not wanting to sign for you.....

..... nobody in their right mind was signing for you then, and the only players who would be looking for a deal now are the ex Celtic players who were dumped on from a great height on Tuesday. Even then, I suspect their agents will be phoning Widnes first!

I would hope that Keef doesn't sign for you. The guy is a SL legend and has been the best centre of the modern era by a country mile. Fair play to him for looking to extend his playing career, but I would have liked him to have got some sort of coaching/mentoring deal, and finished his illustrious career at Leeds.

Time and injury may have ruled him out of a top 8 club, but he's still several levels higher than whats currently on show in amongst the C grade cannon fodder!

Thanks for that, go back to your ivory tower!

In the era of salary cap I think it is hard to comment on siginings. Do we really know its a case of KS or the young outside back we have at the club? I don't. Do we know what proportion of the cap KS is being offered - I certainly dont. If he is being approached and offered a small proportion of the cap, or a pay as you play deal then I'd snap him up. If it is a case of KS or retaining the young up and coming outside back that we have then I would have to think a little harder.

Salary cap aside how does this proposed signing differ from that of Morrison a couple of seasons ago? Not too many disappointed with that signing. Kear has a good track record of signings, particularly if you cast this, extra ordinary, season apart.

that's crumbling

Take cover... here comes the 7th placed big spending Leeds Rhino fans to offer us some educated advice.

Take a look at the league table sunshine and when your back competing with the likes of Wigan and Warrington and not sitting in mid table doing very little but looking to see who will knock you out in the 1st round of the playoffs, I'll listen to you.

I asked my 12 year old son to describe what just happened to WillyRhino in modern parlance - his reply: "he got pwnd."

I have no idea what it means.

I hope this is lazy journalism news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 334179.stm think before you get his signature

Kear said: "He has a wealth of experience and that is one of things we have missed."

Well go have a word with Garry Schofield or Ellery Hanley then too, they have loads of experience too.

"We are in Super League XVI now and Keith has played in 16 of those years," said Kear.

Well done John, that means hes getting old. His legs will be old, his body will be old.

"Keith fits the bill. He has won Super League titles, the Challenge Cup and played for Great Britain on numerous occasions"... Kear Said

Well make sure you let him know that he has no chance of winning anymore of them down here with you still in charge.

"I have followed his career with interest because I worked with him in its infancy." Said Kear

Good for you, Mr Birkinshaw at Southdale Junior School always saw me as a youngster going places in the chess world when I was Wakefield schools champion. But he didnt follow my career like a hawk, he let me do my own thing. Thats what you should do with Keith now.

"It is great to see how he has developed into an accomplished, high-quality rugby league player."

Correct, and he should be proud of his achievements. But he is no longer a high quality rugby league player otherwise the middle quality middle placed middle of the road Leeds Rhinos wouldnt be getting rid, would they ?

"We have got a good base here but might have an overload of young players still learning their trade.
"It would be nice to get some quality, marquee players in amongst that." Kear Said

So why sign overweight Australians then you doughnut. P.S. Im all for some quality marquee players at Wakefield, but not 35 year old has beens looking for a nice payday for their final two years of their career to top up the pension.
