The guy was not fit (in both ways) to wear the red,white and blue.A pub player. If it's RA's decision all I can do is congratulate him

Re: Cheers Jarrod : Thu Sep 22, 2011 11:16 am  

Some people seem to have an inside track; I thought he'd shed at least 2 stone and was looking leaner and stronger?

Hey ho - it's annoying when looked at retrospectively that we seem to have invested a huge amount of time and energy into what our new HC must believe to be another dud. Of all the things Agar can be criticised for however, he seems to do a good job with overseas signings, so maybe those days are over?

I hope he a) eats all their pies b) breaks the seats on the team coach and c) doesn't bend our forwards in half next season.

Makes it more important that we keep Korki imo

Re: Cheers Jarrod : Thu Sep 22, 2011 11:27 am  

would have liked to see how he went next year after a pre season getting fit, thought he showed potential. que us signing another poor to average prop.....

Re: Cheers Jarrod : Thu Sep 22, 2011 11:30 am  

According to Adrian Vowles again on Twitter, as suspected we have definately signed Ewan Dowes.

That is a big prop down if true. I was hoping he could stay and have the big offseason.

We are wafer thin at prop now. We need a prop with some size. That's another quota freed up and probably decent money.

On the discussion of Amor, if murph is definitely to go. An ideal opportunity to ask for Amor and all the gate money from annual Leeds vs wakey fixture perhaps?

I was hoping we would see the real hickey this coming season.

Not a chance, he is utterly shot - it's a pipe dream best rid now. Great work by the club as far as I'm concerned, we are showing we mean business IMO.

I really don't know what some folk want. A player arrives who is clearly unfit and unwilling, we moan all season about him. The minute he rightly gets shown the door in the eyes of some he suddenly becomes an asset...why

For me it's not about how fit or slim he gets, it's the fact he got so bad in the first place. To me it shows he hasn't and probably never really had the mind set to be a top player and that gets even harder as you get older. He got away with it for a few years when he was younger with the natural fitness you have at that age. But as he gets older he will need to train harder and eat much better to stay fit enough for SL. I just don't think he has it in him even if he manages to look fitter - sometimes it's all in the mind.

Just my opinion, we are best rid and if someone else does OK with him so be it.

Typical Wakefield, we do all the hard work only for another team to reap the benefit.

Hickey shouldn't have played this season. If he'd had turned up in that condition to any other SL team their coach wouldn't have put him anywhere near first team rugby. Hopefully Agar will be alot stronger than Kear and have faith in his young academy products.

That's time wasted developing an overweight journeyman which could have been used on developing our youngsters. Maybe, the difference between some staying at WTW for the long haul and moving on!

Hickey certainly had potential, it's just a shame that after persisting with him to get him anywhere near to match fitness it'll be another club who'll possibly reap that reward

Spot on


Hope we have 2 or 3 props coming in we need them now
