Indeed. There is a lot to be said for being happy at work

Re: BJB on his way to Hull FC ? : Mon May 08, 2017 3:17 pm  

It's v normal to hear of other clubs being interested in players
More so when it comes down to the final bit of negotiation on securing a player

The sceptic in me says that the players agent has a large hand in getting that out to the media to help get his player the best deal

BJB has being playing the best rugby of his career I really hope we can secure him on a long contract so he can continue that form

The problem now is that the so called bigger clubs are not having it all their way in the SL. They have managed to get the so called salary cap increased (making it more or less redundant) and 2 players now, that will be exempt from the cap. There will be five or six clubs that will use the other SL clubs as feeder clubs and if one of the smaller clubs start doing well, they will change the rules again. I know players have got to make a living, but we will find out which of the players want to stay at Wakefield. (The danger is their agents.)

Definitely their agents alegend I'm afraid.

My fear is players will be unsettled by agents putting statements out that will encourage a price battle for said player.

Problems arise when the full team are playing well week in week out. I could list a dozen players who I would hate us to lose. MC, JK and CC have to prioritise and simultaneously balance the books and the squad.

Yes but can you name a dozen players who have scored 10 tries so far? With mcb and tj signed unfortunately I can't see us being able to afford bjb...

My post was a positive note regarding the form of the whole team Not negative re BJB at all who I reckon is THE form winger in Super League at present.

I can name a dozen who's influence has helped BJB score those tries and have prevented them being worthless by preventing the opposition scoring more.

Dont think he will come to Hull as he doesnt like travelling.
Cant understand why but he chose Wakefield over Hull for this reason.
