just seen, we either had to give up our compensation rights, or keep paying them both until December 1st of the year they turn 22. Where's the logic behind not giving up the rights. We'd be due £50k for Croft and £30k for Shaw. Was it not blatantly obvious nobody was going to pay that, so we stopped two of our academy lads from being able to play over here, but had to continue to pay them.. absolute genius from MC

Let's put it this way Carter and Co must be prepared to take a hit no other way out. I suppose if you look at how much can be lost if they do nothing and then get relegated it's a simple choice.

Won't happen, it hasn't in the last 13 years it's not going to happen now we are facing the trap door and the financial risk that will bring. It was only a couple of weeks ago Carter was talking about any movement having to be swaps. I guess a straight cash sale of a big earner would also surfice. Either way to bring anyone else in someone will have to leave to balance the books and lets be honest it's not going to the useless ones other clubs are interested in is it?

I was disappointed we didn't keep Croft as I thought he progressed nicely following his long layoff injured. He would probably be in for Lyne now especially as Hall as left.
Although I was impressed with Shaw's aggression during his early Academy years I never really understood the hype around him in his later years. Always rumoured to be some friction around his relationship with the club so hardly surprising that he's getting his two penneth in. Wouldn't really be in front of Eseh, although neither should Atoni.

Looks like we have got our answer to What happens next.. Mark Applegarth: Wakefield Trinity coach 'right man' despite losing run - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-leagu ... 773........ and the answer is more of the same!

Good to see that while Trinity were serving up a pile of the proverbial, Corey Hall was smashing it at KR and made the SL team of the week.

.. and Dagger picked up an injury on Sunday so it looks even more stupid a decision to do the swop

Dagger is not the one to pick out for lack of leadership.

The only justification i can think of, and it’s a pretty flimsy one, is after our guaranteed flogging at Wigan next weekend there is a two week break due to the international games. That may be a better time to change as it gives more time to get someone else in and let them get some training sessions with them. Other than that i’m stumped.
