Anyone know of these two signing for Huddersfield ?

Its been rumoured that George may well be on the move to you, Murphy i doubt, he could've gone at the start of the season.

It wouldn't surprise me if George went to Huddersfield because there have been rumours of a return ever since we signed him.

As for Murphy he will almost certainly leave but I don't think he will go to Huddersfield mainly because he had the chance to go there earlier in the season and turned it down. I personally think he may well end up at Leeds possibly as a replacement for Senior.

It would be a shame if either left.
Murphy would be a terrible loss long term

I agree entirely but if we go down as is looking increasingly likely we have absolutely no chance of keeping either of them.

As far i was aware the george deal was sorted a while back, as for murphy ive heard a few are interested but not sure anything has come to front but agree with altofts i think he'll end up at leeds, think they signed that coady as a replacement for senior and i dont think he's come on like they hoped he would.

It would have to be a tremendous offer for him to go back after being dumped by them.
He wasn't too impressed by the way it was handled at the time.

You may well have a point.

Hull may also be a possible destination, Gleeson looks like he wont be back so they will be after a centre.

What a changed player Luke George has become. One of the big success stories of this season. Once he signs on for another club he will leapfrog over some of the average joes in the England set up.
Murphy has just maintained his effort and consistancy. Again, nailed on for representative honours once he removes the handicap of a Wakefield Trinity shirt.

I suppose it's no coincidence that George had his best game by far against Huddersfield last month. Just showing his prospective new employers what they can expect of him.

It would a a shame to lose either of these two players. Both will have very good club and potentially international careers in the game.

I'd say matured but yes he is, it just takes time problem is we never get the quality time when it's all come together - fecking fed up of it tbh.

Both - and more, is my understanding.

Why take 'em all - chuff knows!

Shudds are shamelessly ruthless with Uncle Ken's millions - it's nice that we've become their academy.

this is my information too. i got my info from a huddersfield source and not wakey one, walshaw on the list too.

they tried for dean too, but he's in talks with crusaders along with howarth and one other by all accounts.

a bloody shame it is, but from the players' perspective i can understand it. they're working for a coach that can't tell them anything about their future at wakefield as he's off, and their duplicitous agent is probably scaring them half to death. if anyone bobs into sandal rufc be sure to let him know we know who is and that he’s not one of us and never will be.

Would it be possible to put one list together of all players rumoured to be leaving and to which clubs they are supposed to be going?

Yes but as I have said on another thread surely it is not allowed as we aren't supposed to have been demoted yet and these players are under contract. Based on the robinson fine we got it should be a fine of at least GBP 5k per player for the clubs concerned.

I presume for any players from the academy that leave we will be entitled to compensation?

George / Muprhy / Walshaw - Hudds
Griffin - Crusaders
Howarth / Dean / Johnson / Vievers - Widnes

All 'rumours' of course.

Damage also done within the other academy stars of 2 years ago.

So much for building a new future with a bright young home-grown side. Perhaps if we'd packed the side with over-the-hill overseas stars and been on the edge of the 8 we would have a SL future!

This law is never enforced. It has gone on for years and will continue to do so. We'll only get compensation for the academy lads if they are under contract for future seasons. This is doubtful.

correction to my rumour, they were off to widnes not crusaders as i'd put.

TRB, by that do you mean others are having their heads turned by agents and other clubs.

More rumours -

Rinaldi - Quins
Morrison - Crusaders
Lee - Hull KR
Mariano - Cas

As well as losing some decent young players, the worry is what will happen to Tony Drury and the other Academy and Scholarship coachers? Are they going to hang around or will they be off too.

At this rate we won't have nothing left to build a SL application on for 2015.

100%

Not heard the Mariano one. The others, yes!

No-one gives 2-s about us right now!

So if by some absolute miracle we are not demoted, what happens then given that these players were not allowed to sign for anyone else now and their contracts remain valid if we remain in SL unless we agree they can go?
