Does anybody really think we are going to go higher than we are with miller and rocky in our halfs? come on peeps we have overachieved massively the last 2 years

I honestly think Hampshire is the way forward I watch him as a bloke who's never played the game, but my untrained eye sees a young kid who has improved in every Trinity game he's played since coming into the first team. There aren't many you can say that about.

Spot on. He was running the game against Catalans first half and showed how far he's come along. Some much potential there.

Can I just put this into the mix, the club usually saves one or two signings until the season tickets are put on sale. I know nothing but it's got me wondering.

Now that Hudds have lost we only need to win one of our last two - easier said than done I know but with Hudds massively inferior points difference it's in our hands.

Should we manage it tonight and due to the weather it's looking i bit more of a possibility then young Hampshire might be in with a chance but it's down to him and his team mates.

Assuming 5th spot is worth 75k then this must give MC a little wiggle room or at the very least give him the final piece to his 2019 budgetary jigsaw.

I can't imagine that MC makes offers to players based on what we 'might' get as prize money so I'm assuming (and please feel free to correct me on this Daddycool) that once he knows for certain that we have this 75k should he wish he may be in a position to up our offer.

Basically it's down to the team to fund squad building in this case so over o you lads and lets see what happens

Suppose that works based on a one year contract but I'd like to see Rocky tied down longer term. What frustrates me more is knowing what an extra 1000 on the gate would potentially give MC to work with. What else exactly do people in Wakefield find to do?

Spot on.
Hopefully Warrington will have their eyes firmly fixed on their semi final game and "stay on the bus" next week, which would help us secure 5th spot.

Wakefield are not going to bring in more fans unless we start to win things it just wont happen. Sad but true

True but that applies to every team.

1979 was the last major trophy we contested - that is a hell of a drought and one that would stuff up any team.

Of the teams in SL, all have tasted success more recently than us with the possible exception of Salford??

So yes you are absolutely right - the Stadium matters of course it does - but nothing beats winning and we have sucked at that for far to long.

If I have one complaint regarding this season it was the pathetic exit we made from the CCup but then again it was only one in a long line of similar exits - you can't blame the Wakey public really.

Looks like his leech (agent) is trying to drum up interest reading the article on total Rl.


Bottom line is "we have had speculative interest from one SL club"
