| We'll they're not going to die wondering. Looks like they'll throw the kitchen sink to stay up. But Walker and Tansey wouldn't get in our team. Sio is an unknown and could be a flop or a superstar. Locke is the only one that worries me, think that's a good signing. But there are question marks over his fitness and whether he can regain the form of two years a go.

| To be fair, Tansey always seems to pull out the stops when he plays against us.
I was going to say, that if he played as well for us as he does for our opponents, I'd consider him as a Bull, but I guess we'd need to see how he rolled when he actually kept himself onside as he wouldn't get the kind of leeway he's used to if he were in RA&B..

| We've added some class and some speed. It remains to be seen whether we have added to the team as a whole.
Hull will be an interesting game for us. We still have weak links in our team but Smith is certainly improving us.
I look forward to seeing how it works out.

| Quote Bull Mania="Bull Mania"Sammut was never going to come to us this year (as much as I wanted him to sign) as Wakey wouldn't have released him from his contract to allow him to sign for us.'"
That's stretching the imagination a bit, do you seriously think Wakefield could afford to have a player on his wages sat doing nothing just to deny your club, as desperate as we've been with injuries he still could not get a game, surely that tells you there were other issues not available to the public domain.
Before the season started at a fans forum, Webster was asked why Sammut was not getting a game, he refused to answer but did say that he would not have a problem if Sammut wanted to make the issue public, perhaps you are looking in the wrong direction and just maybe Lowes and Ferres did not want him back at your club

| If Sammut was on such a big wage how come Workington can afford him. Only a fool would take a large paycut. So are Wakey paying the rest of his wages.
Webster was told there was no money for new players, now 4 come in plus Brian Smith, yet now we hear you are backpeddling on ground rent. The RFL should be looking into the circumstances or they will let you go down the same road as us which they said they would never let happen again.

Don't have a clue, you would have to ask Mr Carter or the Workington chairman for an answer to those questions.
As for B Smith I assume a large part of his wages would come from the freeing up of Webster's salary, of the 4 players coming in presumably those wage will come from the departed Paea, Collis, and Sammut, realistically 3 of those I would imagine would not be top earners as for Locke draw your own conclusions there, He'll be looking to set himself up with a new club next season where ever that is, as for his wages for the next 12 games you can only speculate on those, as I see both Locke and the club are doing each other a favour, as for back peddling on ground rent there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, whatever your thoughts are on the matter, on the Wakefield board under the appropriate thread.

| Unless Webster resigned, his salary would not be freed up, he would have to be paid up?

| Quote Bully_Boxer="Bully_Boxer"Well I know RL players aren't the brightest, but I doubt Jarrod would have walked away from his current deal until the end of the year without a fairly significant amount being paid up. If he had managed to secure a couple of years somewhere else by leaving early then maybe so but he's joined a part time team on you would assume taken a significant pay cut.'"
I take exception to your remark that RL players aren't the brightest.. we have had policemen, sports science degrees, financial advisers and many other trades. Think this is over the top.

I thought it was fairly obvious that my comment was somewhat tongue in cheek..
