I do not blame any player who want to improve and move to what are perceived more ambitious. It is up to Wakefield to make it attractive to stay and considered a club to be associated with just like we did. I regret that certainly over the last few seasons this is not the case. I don’t blame TJ because why waste his talents trying to avoid relegation and playing in a team that has not progressed.

I too don't blame TJ for moving on and I doubt if you will find many that will, disappointed yes aren't we all, but he is a different issue he is free to leave at the end of the season anyway and unfortunately unless we can offer him the moon on a stick which I doubt we can we can't stop him and he's off, but the threads about a contracted player which and I quote however we are supposed to be a non selling club unquote what caused an issue was the inference that we had if true reverted back to the bad old times when we were exactly that, which I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong was an uncalled for direct dig at the club.

Not too bothered if players in contract leaves as long we get a good price for them .My main concern is we replace them with quality .There as been some shocking signings over the last year's and a lot of money been wasted

I think we have to be ready for some of the Tom money saved to be used to keep the likes of of Miller and Fifita.
So it might not go straight to a superstar.

Do not want a superstar just want players with a bit of quality and give 100% to the club but like Dave( who I think is just about at Legend for Wakefield ) Miller as well, Two oversee players that have give there all

I agree.
Dave was saying how many times he's had to play with pain killers to get out on the field but he keeps doing it because he doesn't want to let us down.

I really don't get the love-in with Miller. For me he's got worse over the last couple of seasons and is a major factor in why our attack has been so poor. I don't rate him as a captain either.
I'll grant you he is a trier and marginally better than Gaskell though.

If we get relegated and the way we are at the moment we're looking like favourites all our best players will leave anyway as championship money will not pay their wages.

For me if the rumour is true and he has signed for Cas next season then you drop him and get Walker playing every game to give him a chance to show what he can do with a decent run.
He's not let us down in any game he's played so far and I think he's desperately unlucky not to have played more games than he has.
