Huge huge loss when he went back home and then to be replaced by a player who couldn’t lace his boots and it has been a disaster to say the least both on and off the field since he left . If he did the unimaginable and kept us up it would be a close run vote for his or Fox’s statue outside the ground ( tongue in cheek) ! . He’ll definitely see a marked difference with the skill sets and attitude from his stay at the club ,and hopefully he’ll bring that feel good factor to the place as a whole , because it’s been way too long since we saw Dave steamrollering his way to the line at Cas ,and taking a boat load of players over with him . Good luck Dave you’ve answered the call and I hope your stay is a fruitful one .

Will certainly give the place a lift but most of his impact will be off the field rather than on it i should imagine given the time it will take him personally to get up to speed.

He’s been playing over there all be it at a lower level but the games is taken so much more seriously over there so he’ll be in decent shape. He won’t be any less fitter than Atoni and proctor and he’ll put on far more effort and desire so it’s a win win

He's only played 3 games i think because of injuries so it will take him a while. But yes they'll definately be no lack of effort on his part. Might even get an offload or two as well now.

If its true he's coming to play, hope he stays fit & injury free.So from me good luck big fella see ya bell vue

I just dont know why he would do it - must be a crap load of money and or a coaching gig in the championship next year?

his legacy is a cult hero now ,is he then remembered as being in the side that took us down - a front rower who plays for a half a game of the nech is not going toget us the 5 or so winsin 12 games we would need to stay up . i dont get it

As said many times DAVE along with ,Miller, Arona, Tupu were 4 great overseas players ,that coverd up the shocking decisions made by Coaches on signings over the last 4 years ,and were the reason we stayed in S L .We now got a squad were 15% are not good enough, and 70% are far too old to play Rugby never mind S L. Dave will always be a legend at Wakefield. Fans will still love Dave .but it does show how shocking our recruitment of overseas and squad building as been this year ,that Dave can come over to play and not look out of place

He will always be a cult hero.
Doesn't matter what happens (to him) this season.
Well, let's face it - you never get it........

Re: Big Dave : Tue May 30, 2023 8:59 am  

I don't think Dave will harm his hero status whatever happens in the next few months, we literally cannot get any worse so whatever he has to offer will be an improvement
