It's a flawed comparison.
You need JC's stats from Super League games to compare with our current team.

I like him and would keep him but he isn't a starter yet for me.

Hence my point now is the time to recall him an give him some game time this kid if coached right is a star for the future a local lad who loves the club he plays for pretty much like our coach maybe this is the problem he reminds him of himself too much.

Re: Jordy Crowther : Wed Aug 29, 2018 7:24 pm  

Well I certainly wouldn't let him go until he had had a a run in the first team for a number of games, which to be fair, he simply hasn't had.
Somebody saw some talent in him as a kid and surely he hasn't lost that!

How is that anything like Chester?

Chris Chester never showed an ounce of interest in playing for Wakefield, he preferred Halifax, Wigan, Hull F.C., Hull KR but not Wakefield!

As a player Chester wore his heart on his sleeve as a player and was always so involved in the clubs he played for, whether that was at Wakefield is irrelevant for me, it still shows that quality in him.

As a bloke, Chester is Wakefield through and through, he is and has been heavily involved in the amateur game throughout Wakefield all throughout his career.

Re: Jordy Crowther : Wed Aug 29, 2018 9:29 pm  

Also to suggest he `Preferred` those other clubs, maybe he did as he had a family to provide for - Do you begrudge Gaz Ellis for not having an ounce of interest in staying at Wakefield? He still had enough interest to buy a ticket to come watch us play when he was at Leeds.

There's a solid enough argument he was too good to be at Wakefield for most of his career.

Probably. But, weren't Nigel Bell and Dave Topliss to name only two?

The term that people are Wakefield through and through really only applies to fans since the fully professional era. I'm sure every player has his price. Maybe David Solomona is a rare example who didn't go back on a verbal promise to sign when others waved the cheque book?

Loyalty from a player perspective is very rare these days in any sport due to the amount of money involved and the briefness of their careers. Remember for them this is a job, and if someone else came and offered you double your current wages to go do the same job for their company there's not many that would turn it down.
Although I do believe that Kirmond also turned down larger offers to remain with us when he was in his prime???
