You've had enough OMG the irony - the apprentice playground bully crying foul.

I would pay £100 to put you in a room with Blaymire and see what you say face to face - be hilarious. Still you could hide behind your signing of the century Mr Hickey.

PS I don't work in a factory, I work for a major PLC in a well paid job for which I am highly qualified - in the words of Harry Enfield "I'm considerably better qualified than yow".

Surely to be hypocrites we would have had to come up with the slogan in the first place or at least used it and quoted it on a regular basis - which tbh I never have.

Nothing hypocritical about people preparing for the worst and taking a realistic view of what is happening/likely to happen (and not been happy about it).

He probably did but he forgot to mention it to Ken Davey and the Hetheringtons etc. By the way I have heard they are all extremely happy that we have all been asked to put our hand in our pockets to produce players on their behalf.

Would like to see you in a room with Mr Hickey also and then you will be needing your pre packed bog roll you stack.

no doubt you'd be looking to get a unison discount on this spend.

Why, I'm not in Unison are you?

Serious question - where are you getting your information from?

Anyone know the current salary caps for Superleague and for Championship..?

1.65m in superleague and 300k in the championship I think.

I made the mistake of thinking Jack was a bit of a tw*t because he'd failed to tell me who he used to be before the name change - which does actually make him a bit of a tw*t now I think about it



However I can tell you he is good for it (the info that is) but you might not approve of where he gets it or his particular spin (he can be a bit un optimistic in true Wakey fashion). Sorry I can't tell you who it is and I know that sounds clicky, but he's not often wrong.

PM him, he may take a shine to you

super league salary cap is £1.65 million according to this [urlhttp://www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=14430[/url

Like taking 10k to a car boot sale. All that doh and you can't spend it. What a waste.

£300,000 for championship according to this

You can apply to spen 400,000 if you want and Elston has already confirmed this is something we would do.

I sincerely doubt that

I can fully understand players looking elsewhere due to the uncertainty regarding next season. They have to secure their future before other clubs fill their playing rostas. What I still cannot understand is why when we had an Academy Grand Final winning side we have not given more of those players an opportunity in the first team in order to dangle the carrot and get them to commit their future to us. If for example Josh Griffin has signed for Crusaders for next year and did play as bad as people are saying in recent away games ( I think he has had some very good games early on btw) why have we not played the very impressive Walshaw more. Now we have the situation where he is being touted around other clubs and we are in danger of losing him. I note Greg Eden had a good game for Cas v Wigan , he was one of our Academy players. As part of TRY Squadbuilder I find the lack of first team chances for the Academy players very frustrating. If for example Hickey has played less than 30 minutes first team rugby in 3 games why not play someone from the Academy for 2 of those games and let Hickey get upto speed in the Academy. Very baffling.
I really hope we can hang onto our talented young lads. Would also hope Annekin would get more of a chance when fit.

Nah - it was just out of interest.

As your listing players who WILL be with the club if they dont get a SL License I thought that I would just mention that every player mentioned has signed a SL contract, and all will be void if wakefield go down meaning potentially every player has the option to leave or get out of their contract.
I know that Widnes are awaiting the decision so that they can take at least 2 players who are under contract

its just a farce ! Until the fat RFL chiefs say so we are in !

By all accounts the contracts signed by Moore, Wildie, Mariano and Higgins are valid for both divisions.

Yes but that doesn't mean they won't leave, just that we can get a fee for them.

Your spot on and I would not be happy at all with them leaving but a fee would at least soften the blow. Also we don't have to sell them if we don't want to.

True. Doubt anyone would want Higgins or Moore at this point anyway, they didn't up to us signing them. Matty will only be 21 next year and is a local lad. With time being on his side he may well stay put short term. Mariano is a different kettle of fish though. He'll be 25 early next season and needs to be playing superleague rugby to achieve his ambitions. I can see him wanting to move on if the chance is there, which it will be.

You are right about Higgins and Moore no other Super League teams wanted them and although I think Higgins has done well and Moore has shown potential I don't think either of them have done enough to get a contract from a Super League team yet.

Wildie is in a similar situation and I actually think that for his long term prospects he may be better dropping down and having a season in the championship and play week in week out rather than play a handful of Super League games. Danny Brough did a similar thing a couple of times in fact and it has done him no harm.

your info is completely wrong they are on SL contracts and once the announcement is made and if Wakey lose out Widnes will be in for at least 2 of those
