Player goes..., New Player comes...
Top Six this season, not last season
Money into the club, not if we let go after next season

Are we really into this one player worshipping that we dont see the big picture?

All these people who say we should keep so and so on at whatever unknown price, and get so and so in at this price, dont have to balance the books and work out the contracts themselves do they - that is left up to the experts who do it year in year out. We have not done badly since we came into SL so lets keep trust with our great management team to keep us moving onwards.

More points than before in SL
Highest position in SL (with more teams in)
Probably home game in Play Offs

Reasons to be cheerful??

No probably about it, we have already secured a home game.

How would you guys rate Atkins now, compared to Westwood in 2002 when he left Wakefield?

I'm a bit so-so on this signing but I guess you can see Atkins does have raw potential, he is powerful and can do damage.

He's a good player and could be a great player, if he fits in and learns how to pass he'll be fine. Strong, great footwork and fast.

I think he'll go well at Wire.

Westwood was a fairly unknown quantity then even at Wakey and physically under developed, it was a brave but wise move by Warrington. Atkins is much further down the line, all he really needs to do is perfect his game thinking wise the rest is already in place.

Atkins contracted until 2011 so we should have told Wire to bugger off !!!! Its annoying what was looking like we would have our strongest squad in years is looking like a average one once again ! Newton over the hill i don't rate him he isn't a patch on Brad Drew. Morrison great player if he stays fit. 2 aussies great signings can't fault.

Snitch - Deserved another deal hes been immense this year.
Olay - worthy of another deal his effort
Atkins - probably the best young british centre in the country
his passing will defo come.


Again it looks like we are not building. But staying the same.

I really don't know why folk bother with you as you're clearly a bit slow however...

Snitch and Wilkes, were both offered new contract FACT, both refused them after initially looking like they would accept them. Trinity policy has always been we offer what we think a player is worth not what they think, if they can get more then they can leave.

Atkins, he wanted the move and must have requested a transfer I assume, once a player wants out get rid I say.

Not building, are you really that daft. Six academy players signed with the addition of genuine quality in Tronc and Morrison. As for Newton not being a patch on Drew give your head a shake, Newton is a full international with caps and medals to prove it, Drew has won b*gger all FACT, not that this needs to be a my dad is bigger thing as both are fine players. As for Newton being over the hill what does that make Drew.

Your claptrap is so predictable, I bet if I go back far enough I will find you posting how past it and poor drew is so frequent is your verbal diarrea. As ever you only back a player when he when he leaves, arise St Brad.

For the rest of us welcome on board Terry and co and best of luck to tose seeking a new challenge.

PS: We are top six with a team you thought was weak and going backwards this time, yet you never learn and your off again - you just seem to love moaning.

You are so wrong were getting quality players wilkes isnt quality tronc is.
Snitch is a very good player morrison is quality.
Atkins has alot of potential, is a good player atm. Millard has different attributes but will be better for the team.

Drew only plays v well when brough isnt on the field, is 34/35 and tackling letting him down of late cant play 80mins / 28games a year, whereas newton will have a much better chance.

absolutely on the button there my friend they are all quality signings i think newton will compliment brough very well as he will do what a hooker is supposed to do he will boss and dominate the ruck and play the ball that his is domain letting brough control the play and not over complicate things, i totally agree we have let good players go and replaced them with quality players

Grix confirmed as leaving today as well in RL Express. 2 year deal with Hudds. They're also looking at another ex Wakey in Kyle Wood. Also Leeds fan at work told me we're interested in signing Ryan Bailey, i'm 50/50 about this one but that would give us one rough pack esp. if we retain Korki!

ouch!

Not for me, there are better players in the national conference than Ryan Bailey unfortunately they haven't had the chances he's enjoyed.
