Also to suggest he `Preferred` those other clubs, maybe he did as he had a family to provide for - Do you begrudge Gaz Ellis for not having an ounce of interest in staying at Wakefield? He still had enough interest to buy a ticket to come watch us play when he was at Leeds.

There's a solid enough argument he was too good to be at Wakefield for most of his career.

Probably. But, weren't Nigel Bell and Dave Topliss to name only two?



The term that people are Wakefield through and through really only applies to fans since the fully professional era. I'm sure every player has his price. Maybe David Solomona is a rare example who didn't go back on a verbal promise to sign when others waved the cheque book?

Loyalty from a player perspective is very rare these days in any sport due to the amount of money involved and the briefness of their careers. Remember for them this is a job, and if someone else came and offered you double your current wages to go do the same job for their company there's not many that would turn it down.

Although I do believe that Kirmond also turned down larger offers to remain with us when he was in his prime???

Starting at Loose Forward according to CC

I hope he turns out to be a star but come on let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let the lad play rugby. He's very young and he is nowhere near to being a "star". Let's see what he can do first. It's one being excited about youngsters and another getting ahead of ourselves.

If you read Adams post it says a star for the future.

This lad needs to do more minutes for us.



Ashurst, Batch, Horo, Arona, Kirmo, Jordy and Annakin, a nice position to be in

Really good performance last night especially in defence by Crowther, things to work on going forward imo but gave us something to think about after my earlier comments.

I thought Jordan went well last night, he put himself about a bit in defence and was always ready to put his hand up for a carry. A solid performance.

More than solid in defence and in his second spell he did a couple of excellent offloads.

Thought Jordy went well stepping up defensively sound I think his 30 odd minute stint was great but he was tired. Go forward he will get better with game time and experience at the top level
