We are getting used to it sadly.

For one reason or another we sail through choppy waters every season it seems.

Gutted.

I don't know who to sponsor next.

Maybe Stosic could come back ?

theres always bloody something at this bloody club i am getting totaly pd off with it i know a lot of my freinds are i have being watching since 75 an other since 58 and one since 46
the pack is not the best now if we lose Tronc it will be a masive blow

Absolutely bloody terrific! Nice one Tronc

This is why we the paying supporters at Wakefield could tear our hair out at times.

Only this could happen to Wakefield 7 games into a new season,

1.Terry Newton lets the club and himself down.
2.Danny Brough fiasco regarding staying/leaving.
3.Shane Tronc to leave due to something he should have thought of before boarding that plane.

No wonder our support struggles on a yearly basis.

Whats happened in the space of two week? In the YEP interview he said he was happy on the field and off it (were they just sound bytes)

It wouldn't suprise me if someone from Brisbane has said there's a job here for you if you can get a release from your current contract.

Can't blame the club on this one. They are in a no win position, keep a player who doesn't want to be here or let him go and have a severely weakened side.

As someone else suggested, maybe Stosic will end up back over here.

FFS.

Nice to know his wife has given it three months in the worst part (worst for 30 years) of the year. Shame really and the forward pack is really stuffed now. Chances of a top 8 finish just got that little bit slimmer.

I for one will be gutted, big fan of Troncs....like its been stated above he should really see out the season for us...
If not bring back Stosic for me...

I don't think its that easy bringing Stosic back at such short notice due to work permits/visas etc.

Could also see the government turning down his permit application in some form or another.

Hopefully King will have shaken off his illness and match fitness issues. He will get some game time now with young Trout stepping up as fifth choice prop.

Personally id say to tronc your under contract stay until we can sort a visa for a replacement...

I like King, but big boots to fill IMHO...

That's all we need...... Will be hugely difficult to get over this if it turns out to be true. Lacking in creativity with ball in hand, defensively frail down 1 side and now possibly losing our best go forward forward - going to be one hell of a big ask to make the top 8 if true.

Why is it always us... No other club get into these situations.

Adam Mogg?

yeah i'd be happy if Tronc gave us 2 and a half seasons though

Yes but Adam Mogg has been at Les Cats for just over 2 years whereas Shane Tronc has lasted just 12+ weeks if true.

Has that player (Stosic?) who you released got a new club yet?

Maybe you could get him back?

Big blow for you looked a fantasic player, you would hope he would play at least in the next 2 games for you and leave after that wouldnt you?

looks like Kyle Bibb and others will have to sort themselves out.

Sigh

Think he went back to Aus to NRL feeder club Easts Tigers.

Not sure now if he would qualify for a work permit as he's not playing 1st grade NRL?

time to dip into the 2nd team and see if a young un can step up to the mark

Is it within a year period though. His stint at Trinity last year must count towards the 75% or so first grade games needed to qualify. Also he was contracted for this season so the visa he did have may still be valid?

Good point,If thats the case and the Tronc rumours are true then the club should be looking in the direction of bringing Stosic back to try to fill the gap before we head on a downward spiral.

Hopefully we'll have BJ/King and Johnson back shortly to give the squad a healthy boost.

Message to Sandal Cat: please stop sponsoring players!!!!

Gutted if he goes. He has been my favourite player to watch this year. Just keeps on trundling.

I suppose it is harder for the wives or girlfriends, as the player is here for a reason and to do the one thing he likes doing. Good on him for putting his family first, I suppose, but it must be hard for her to be a long way from her own family just so that hubby can run around with a ball under his arm.

can't see Stosic coming back and wanting to play in these circumstances

I hope he dont get to much grief over this , its a very hard thing i imagine travelling to the other side off the world to play . i for one could never live anywhere except england........ sorry your stuck with me.


i little concerned about the sandal cat jinx

he sponsored my lads rugby club once
