why on earth didnt we sign up young zak from fetherstone!!!

signed for wire ,he is ten times better than george and is only 20.

we should be poaching the best talent from our local 6 fingered rivals

already signed for Whino's on big money, we cannot afford

Ask yourself some questions owd cock!

I suggest a few from the following:-
Why on earth would he want to come to Wakey??
What can you offer him, Wire, Hull, Wigan or Leeds can't??
Why kind of progress is he likely to make playing for Wakey in comparison to the 4 clubs mentioned who've been touting his services???
Wakey are most people's favourites to lose their licence?? What kind of security does that offer the lad at the side of a 3-4 year deal in SL??
Do you really think quality British championship players who fancy a shot at SL are going to choose SL?

Only hearsay mind, but apparently we were offered Hardaker and Kear was not interested, Wigin showed an interest in him but could not contact him, before they could do anything wire offered money for him and if what you say is true got him. But you are right we should have been after him instead of Vievers and Howarth.

first of all you must have about 46 fingers being from both rotherham and feth, does it get more interbred than that?

we will not lose our licence thats for sure, the stadium will be confirmed shortly mark my words.

he wont get a game at leeds, wire, hull or wigan

he will with wakey simple as

Plus has he not seen the flats near howarth timber?

"Inbred" 46 fingers etc???
Yegh yeh heard em all numpty. Now, we can engage in all the platitudes, duff comment and all that sheeite if you want, OR, you can get serious?? Either way suits me.
Zak was off to wire, Hull came in, the wiggan and finally Leeds with a cracking deal for the club and the lad.
Don't take my words here - ask the championship players if they see wakey as a step up! This isn't me engaging in all the bol_lox that you are - this is how it is. Briggsy, Black, Brannighan, Zak, Saxton etc do NOT see Wakey as a developmental opportunity. Ask yourself why?
As for the licence - we'll see. Only 8 months away to finding out. One team is coming down - we shall see.

He might not want to come to Wakey, but that should not stop us from trying to get him.

Regular first team football for a start, and through that it will enable him to progress quicker playing in the SL as against in the reserves at those other clubs.

Wakey might be most peoples favourites to go down so does that rule us out of trying to strengthen the team, oh and fwiw we are not down yet squire



If quality championship British players fancy a shot at SL, tell me then Einstein where else are they going to choose other than SL

Its 12 years since we pumped it up you and the bitterness still shows

I'm 50 - what happened in 98 was bitter but that was 12 years ago! If you want to hang onto that - please do! I don't.
If quality British players like that fancy SL - they will choose another club - like the 4 chasing Zak!!
If a mediocre player, who "might" make it or who may be able to "hold his own", and is not regarded as highly by those clubs who regularly feature in the top 6, then yes, Wakey maybe in with a shout.
You are correct, you are not in the championship yet. But one club is coming down - we have only around 8 months to find out which one it'll be! I still feel wakey are preparing for life outside SL.

To be honest, you cant really argue with the above. Put yourselves in Hardakers shoes and ask yourself the same questions above (forgetting your a Wakefield fan) and Id love to see more than 10% choose the option of signing for Wakefield in front of all the others.

He already has and was not good enough, otherwise he would still be playing SL with another club and not championship!

If Iestyn Harris had his way he'd be signed with Crusaders this week!!! London sniffing too!! He was perhaps our player of the year this season!
As it is at the mo, Wakey is NOT an attractive prospect for aspirational young lads or more established players reaching a level of matuirty who are fancying a crack at SL!!! I can understand you as wakey fans leaping to the defence of your club, and spouting the "inbred" nonsense or banging on that we're still bitter cos of events 12 years ago - for heavens sake!!!!!
But ask the players themselves - Wakey just isn't where they see a future - for now at least!
Leaving the childish nonsense out of his post, the lead post of this thread prompted the question why don't we go for him? Answer - well why not - you could. But with little success of nailing quality that Zak is.

Key phrase underlined.

Next season, what happens off the field will be more important than what happens on it - that's unfortunate, but true. That being the case, your theory about young players attitude towards WTW isn't a bad one. Top tip though - repeating it several times doesn't make it any more true.

fair point - just fighting me way thru all the needless childlike cak to get to a point!!!

Errr,because we let him go?

Perhaps! Hey I'm not saying you'd go for all of em......

And i'm not saying your wrong....just joining in!

I love a good rugby natter

Hardaker signed for whinos today according to ridings fm

Yup 5 yr deal back to Fevierra on loan next yr

bustin deal!

good luck to the lad

got his chance like Jay Pitts had

I honestly can't believe the puerile tripe that this forum is now-a-days! whatever happened to the official one (birthplace of the Mighty Webcats)? never as bad as this!

quite liked a bit of tripe when i was growing up, nice bit of vinegar to wash it down

Tripes good for you so they say, it mellows and calms the mind



Anyway back on topic, how highly do you rate zak, he seemed to be no more than average at junior level (thats not a dig at him) can't belive how well he's done and good luck to him.
