If they rate him higher than we do wage wise, then so be it, frankly never rated Drinkwater. Interesting though that he’s another player who hung on and on for a better deal and it hasn’t worked out.

That said I do rate Hampshire a lot higher both as a player and individual though it’s fairly subjective as I’ve never met either.

I've never met Drinkwater but Hamsh is a lovely lad, no edge to him and has time for everyone, a great lad.

I really don't understand how people think they can judge a person's personality by a snippet of information. Especially if that is that they just haven't signed a contract yet. Who knows what is holding it up? It might just be fine details in a contract that mean a lot to him. But even if it is more money, that's a choice that we would all make. He doesn't have to want to play for a club just because you support them, and it doesn't mean he is any kind of mercenary if he goes to more than one club.

He, along with every other player, has to do what he believes is best for him and there will be multiple reasons for the choice thet he makes.

Equally, Trinity, have to make their own plans and if they deem that they have given him sufficient time to sign on the dotted line, they too will need to make their own choice.
As you say, nobody on here will be privy to the detail and nor should they be.
It would be great if he stays as he's an exciting player and still young but, if he moves on there is nothing we can do about it and we will soon be cheering on his replacement.

It could be that he's signed and the club will release this in due time.

I'm sure we'll find out sooner rather than later.

I like many hope that the club have budgeted wisely

There'll be no doubt about that with the current people in charge. Complete faith in that. I think one thing as Wakefield fans we can all agree on is that we are currently in the best hands we have had for a long long time.

Exactly. Whoever it is , we have to stick to the wage structure and budget. We had bankruptcy and points deductions... never want to go there again. I hope Ryan stays but he has to accept the wages we can offer

Not sure that a que would form for Ryans signature, and if they did would he be getting regular game time in the FB or SO positions. Someone at the club will probably know the outcome and Ryans intentions.
For me if he goes the club would be better off with an early indication so plans can be made. I think we have good cover at F B but would probably have to look to appoint a regular half back. Reynolds may fit well

I understand that we're in for Alex Walker from London, which would suggest Ryan is on his way.
