I'm now just waiting for next week's postings on here...

...he is rubbish Halley...

...he is never a full back/stand off, etc....

...he is too small for a winger....

...should never have dropped Platt...

etc, etc....

But why just keep him and not play him? That does not make any sense, either financially or for the sake of the team.

Unless some sort of agreement can be made or there has been a breach on the agreed contract.. what else can the club do?

I assume Tupou isn't fit for 1st team consideration, whether that is physically or mentally I wouldn't know.

If a player is long term injured, surely some insurance kicks in to pay them? Anyone know?
Can he be excluded from salary cap then?

IIRC if a player is injured for for than 6 months the standard-form SL contract allows his contract to be terminated? That was used to dispense with TV and TKL the season we signed Harris IIRC - something that left a bad taste at the time.

But if a player is not injured (or has recovered) and the club does not select him, then its down to whats in his contract as to what we have to keep paying him. Must admit the deafening silence from the club seems to speak volumes on this subject?

But if you buy something and it's not fit for purpose, then you can get your money back. So how is this different?

If we turn an in form player (for Wakefield) into a rubbish player (for the Bulls), then I will be calling for Macnamaras head not Halleys.

Its up to Macca to use him where he performed best for Wakefield, if it works don't try and fix it.

I look forward to the game!

Halley will be at Wakefield next year!

You have only got Halley back for 1 game. Thats because Tadulala has lost his passport AGAIN and cant go to Perpignan

Isn't his contract up at the end of the season? considering how much he's loving being at Wakey playing for a coach that gives youth a chance and being disenchanted with the bulls I would have thought that it would take a dramatic turn of events at Bradford to stop him walking away and coming to us, assuming that we make him an offer of course.

There is also the problem for you that another club not too far from us is now interested in him having seen what he can do given a fair run.
