I said at the time we should be offering him less than he was on. He was older but hadn't kicked on at all (he was poor before this season) and we had Hughes and Burke both looking like overtaking him despite being a few years younger. It's just sod's law that he hits the form of his life as soon as he's put pen to paper

Wakefield are having major financial troubles and have had to sell Tim Smith, I hope he can get out of it some home and is offered a decent deal at Wigan.

Wakefield have reveled a £400 k black hole in their annual budget. They are trading at a 400k loss per year and desperately need to raise some cash to balance the books. That is how the bulls saga started. Difficult and slippery slope, particularly if they try and chase sl survisal next year. The have and always will be a club that struggles financially. You only need to lookat their stadium and the fact that its only a couple of seasons ago they were in Administration and they are already in finacial trouble again. Brave decision Chris has made to join them.

This kind of thing amazes me in that it seems to happen time and again in Rugby League. Is it really that hard to budget and only spend what you earn? It is a pity though because Glover really seemed to have turned things around there both on and off the field with increased attendances and things like getting the terracing covered.

I'd be seeing if Tuson and Wakefield wanted to reconsider.

Re: Chris Tuson : Sat Aug 31, 2013 5:05 pm  

Yeah especially as I've been less than impressed with Hughes his year. Probably second season syndrome though, just like Faz had a bit.

Pettybourne is better than Tuson, he offers us impact off the bench so in my opinion our team will be better in the back row next year.

It's a shame we have to lose Tuson who is a solid professional and certainly contributes to our team, but that is professional sport, you have to be emotive.

Shocked he has gone to Wakefield mind, Salford chucking daft money about on old men and do not chuck their hat in the ring for Tuson seems an odd decision.

IMO this is another example of a players face not fitting and/ or being shown up by Wane like others have at various parts of the season , I don't think Tusons place round the Wane family dinner table is available anymore .

Maybe you're in the know, but the public statements from Wane have been have been totally contra to your comments.
