Who are some of you trying to kid signing smith he will be way out of are budget infact dont see many coming in other than king maybe a knkown for finn but other than that we aint lost no one so we wont have the budget

I think it was a wish list signing

Not a rumour

Love rugby league quotes Huddersfield are keen on two aussie half backs for next season! So where does that leave Broughy!

Up the creek without a paddle

How do we know that? I would guess Smith's stock is dropping rapidly. He is not getting any younger and is struggling to get any game time. Also what is Wakefield's budget for a half back? I bet you know as much on that as I do?



As the unfortunate saying goes "beggars can't be choosers" and I guess Smith can't just name his price otherwise he might not get a gig next season, anywhere.

Heading into next year aged 36, probably with a championship club or coaching role...

A very good point Wildshot.



Heard Williams was on a decent contract when he was with us, and when he left, the more like for like replacement would have been Hampshire, who I would guess would be on less.



Now Finny and MCB has gone, that would free up room on the cap, and if we do bring in a replacement for MCB, can't see us looking for someone quite as the same calibre to be sitting in the stands most weeks.



With what Wildshot said, and my comments, I think it's swings and roundabouts, and can't see us being priced out of the market for Smith

That's a fair comment on matty smith and his age / stock value. That's if he is still available



Which clubs are in the market for a scrum half? I can only see us and Catalan realistically



Every other team in SL has an established scrum half already

Matty hasn't had much game time either and having to play 2nd fiddle to a junior must be a hard pill to swallow



The chance to have a really good couple of years with us running the plays and being one of the most senior players at the club has to have some serious value to it



We need a scrum half with a kicking game that can move the team round the park



He would do what we need him todo IMO

A work colleague of mine, who serves our Hull branch was saying that Broughie was going into business in the Hull area.



Maybe stepping down with this in mind and his age could be the right move for him at this time

He has a deal with Hudds next year, so I imagine whether he stays with the club or not he will be payed on that - Something tells me that he will link up with John Kear next year at Bradford.

Probably betting shops as he has self excluded from all the West Riding ones.

Hahahaha
