had someone else, a fan of another club said that Vasty, you can be sure you would be wading in, insults flying and demanding an apology

i would have hope recent events may have taught you how unimportant RL really is in the scheme of things and things like this are really un called for

Because a club is run to make a profit. The interest in Bird came at a time when Huddersfield were interested in Drew and i think i remember Kear saying 'We'll allow Brad to go if the deal is right for Wakefield Trinity and Brad', hence the interest in Bird. To sign him we'd offload a player.

Would you therefore consider Korkidas, a reserve player at Castleford, a poor signing considering you have Chris Lawson in your first team squad coupled with some good academy props and a small injury list?

hes our only impact prop apart from sam moa who we are still waiting for so theres no chance we would let him go.

And thats poor from you Vasty, more holes in that than my sieve on the draining board

so there are no clubs like Wakefield in your opinion then?

and the statement

Like Trinity most clubs will need to bolster their team/squad with overseas signings of varied experience and quality all subject to the circumstances prevailing at the time.

should have read Like Trinity most clubs will need to bolster their team/squad with overseas signings of varied experience and quality all subject to the circumstances prevailing at the time, though none to the level of Wakefield

but you are wrong, still, Hull KR arent far off, they need to improve, as do Wigan, Bradford arent terrible but they have shown they can do better, Les Catalans still need a helping hand and they are improving but they could also do a little better

I like it when you make things up. You're so funny. Facts are such pesky things

Are you the same Vatsman who said on page 10 that you were moving on?

did that really go over your head?




where? how can you argue that its making it onto the pitch when you have 11 overseas players



no it isnt, producing one player simply isnt good enough, the law of averages means even if you put no effort at all in to youth development you will eventually produce a player of quality through sheer blind luck,


and here is where you start making excuses again, why poor little wakefield need some help, like they are in a remedial class or something, they are an SL club, and we demand SL results from them, if they cant produce them, then they need to think about whether SL is the right level for them




to detract from your own point, strange choice,

Clubs will bolster their squads with overseas players, some players better than others, depending upon their circumstances.

Some clubs need less overseas players because they are in a better/different situation than another club.

Every club bolsters their squad to some degree,
as do Wakefield

You have your timeline all wrong re Bird and Brad. But never mind it is a good story.

Your Korki comment shows your desperation. He played 21 times last year (over 75%) whereas FW managed 5 (under 20%). You clearly have trouble understanding what reserve grade is - you'll fit in well at wakey!

Your comment on Laws is cheap. You want us to throw him into SL after major surgery - that is sick. You may do that in wakey, not at the Giants.

Ha ha!

Just for the record, Huddersfield are a team with at least as many and maybe more academy products who've played first grade than Wakefield (Jackson, Raleigh, Crabtree, Cudjoe, Lawrence), have far more promising youngsters (McGilvary, Sampson, Lopag, McNally, Johnson, Barber, Chappell, Worthington and loads more at 15/16 signing up). Have higher attendances and ST holders in 2008 than Wakey and well over 5k season ticket holders for this season. We part own our ground, a ground in which the football team have a zero holding which makes it impossible for us to rent off them.

In short, we're developing. We're getting better and better in all areas of development. Other clubs stagnate and in 3 years they may well be out of SL. Many will shed tears when this happens, although quite a few will be tears of joy!
