I've enjoyed watching him and at his best or even 80% he is one of the best prop we've ever had, certainly in Super League.

But he isn't performing at 80% now and he needs to be working to get that back rather than disrupting the team with indiscipline.

I'm definitely in the thanks for the memories camp. If he could turn it around then great but I'm thinking it's gone too far.

Catalan wanted him. I'd be happy to swap for Drinkwater or even their fullback who's really a half back.

Looking at Catalan I’m struggling to see where he fits tbh, don’t know where that rumour came from? I think because we played them twice and it’s a bit warmer there people have put 2+2 together and got 673.

More likely destination would be somewhere like HKR for my money.

Believe he had himself a bit of holiday over there during lockdown which started that rumour, previously it was always Warrington the rumoured destination.

It has been a very solid stance by the club.

I have though heard something else today, which is rather worrying, that someone in a management capacity within the club have also breached COVID protocols,and that we actually have a COVID19 officer within the club, who is married to someone within management level at the club.

Whether true or not, I don't know, but this has not come from a local eating establishment, but by someone who I know from my time at the club, and is still working in the sport.

Failed to mention that in their statement.

Transparency...

Failed to mention what exactly? Hearsay?

Could be, who knows.

Just think that there could well be more to this than meets the eye. Yes, Fifita is wrong, but it could be that those in a higher position are far from innocent in all of this.

I have heard so much underhand stuff happening behind closed doors recently, from so many, who were involved with the club longer than I was, that connects to one person, there comes a time when you start building up a picture of a person, that makes you wonder how genuine someone really is

That would be nice, but I doubt either would be willing to come to Wakefield. It would have to be fringe players.

I've explained this to you but for some reason you cant grasp it. Drinkwater was the half at leigh who took them down, he was also the half at hull kr who survived on the last day of the season, hes no pace but hes playing behind a big rampaging pack of forwards, continuously on the front foot. I hope this helps but if you still dont understand il explain again.

Just out of curiosity if what you have heard is concrete why all the cloak and dagger? Just name, names. Clearly having so much 'evidence' surely there is no risk of repercussions?

If it's come from the chip shop you can bet your life it's kosher.
