back to tronc...doesn't seem the same player over the last couple of games, interest gone and not running or offloading like the first few games ! shame but no excuse for not fulfilling your t&c's old boy ! keep him until we receive something in return!

Totally agree with that; he looked like he couldn't really be ar*ed against Wigan, and that's disappointing from a professional who is, as you say, still under contract.

I also have little sympathy for the homesick wife story; two weeks ago he was in the press saying how well they were settling here - his words, iirc, were "happy at home, happpy on the pitch." Fast forward two weeks and his Mrs is trapped indoors against our arctic weather, wearing a cork hat and watching back to back episodes of Neighbours? I think not.

If we let the big fella go without adequete compensation, then we have once again been right royally rogered.

apparently as the story goes flights are booked and its not down to homesick wife> its to do with the club not coming up with what was promised eg quality of accomodation etc. shouldnt we be looking for a quality replacement with all the money that doesnt get spent> transfer fees for brough and atkins, where does it all go??? come on ted give the supporters of wakefield trinity something to shout about and put your short arms in your deep pockets. 22 quid friday fair enough we won but dont take libertys to make a quick buck out of 8500 fans and not gives us anything in return. What looked like our most promising season for years is falling apart at the seams and by the look of it its down to greed!

Interesting first post. Whinging blooming players....surely it can't be as bad as Nathan Wood's 'company' car?

If he leaves without Wakey getting any compensation, as has been suggested then you would have to think somethings a miss on the Wakey side.

Re: Tronc update : Wed Apr 07, 2010 8:09 am  

Simple fact is we should say 'Then off you go Shane if your'e homesick but we are keeping hold of your registration until a compensation deal is in place should you get a contract within the NRL'.

Thus if the Broncos want him that badly and he really wants to start earning again then its all down to the NRL club to sort it all out and not ourselves.

Plenty of stories flying round Adie.

Do i know you?
Were you a goalkeeper that played for Barnsley?

Re: Tronc update : Wed Apr 07, 2010 9:31 am  

As someone has already said - its only a few months left - just bear it out man.
If however he continues to play in a "lack lustre" manner, ship him out and bring back Stosic.
I agree with maintaining his registration but would this mean that we also had to pay his salary and would not have his quota space back?
It would be typical of us not to get compensation - as with Elima - as we think its "for the players own good". We need to think about the club, that's what's left, sod the players who have left the ship - we should think about what's remaining.

Sorry, but I don't get this. I think we do pretty well in trying to get the best deals in terms of compensation for departing players, and I don't for one moment think we'd let Tronc head back for free if we could get something out of it. But you can't get what's not there to be had. Maybe there was a get-out clause in his contract that enabled us to sign him in the first place? (I don't know whether this is the case, btw, just speculating.)
