It would seem that's the case, have no reason to doubt him but I don't have an agenda.

I hope some of you learn from the above post that not all players who leave Wakefield do it because they want to, sometimes it is a chance for them to advance when they feel it will not be available to them at their current club. The idea that he used Wakefield for personal financial gain was wrong and I trust you will apologise for your incorrect albeit typical assumption.
I must go now before I receive another e-mail from the man who claims to have the biggest brain on the planet, I wondered why we had those double doors fitted at the ground.

Its funny that you are so troubled by point two.
I dont know if any of what gazbaz is saying its true, what i would say though it looks a fairly well informed and balanced post and not the rantings of someone with a big axe to grind - go figure.
By email i guess you mean PM from a mod warning you as to your conduct on this forum? If so, if you continue to flout the rules, i guess yes - you can expect another one but it will be to inform you that you have been banned.
Tread carefully.

In this case I think it should be. Brad was on the Leeds Scholarship, and despite being a life long Rhino he turned them down to sign for Wakefield. I believe Tony Drury and John Kear were both influential in his decision.

I do think his first choice would of been to stay, but under the current circumstances that wasn't the case and he's had to make a decision for his future. I understand he had more attractive offers than Castleford, but chose them to be near his family and because they were decent with him every time he has spoken to them. Hardly the behaviour of someone using clubs to help his career progress.

However, after hearing of his other offers, I reckon Darryl Powell must have some embarrassing photos of him to convince him to go there!

its no great shock that players leave the youth structure at wake citing poor management and coaching. The department is overseen by an ex player with no experience or proven track record in developing young players. The coaches within that system are mostly cast off's from other clubs with no history of success.
