Great for you guys, absolute top bloke is JD. In terms of value for money, probably the best overseas player we've had at Wakey. He has seen some real adversity at Wakey which I'm sure will make him a better leader. I'll be keeping a special look out for your results. Good Luck JD.

I am absolutely sure, i am his father and we have been talking about these negotiations as they progessed. York have been fantastic about it and JD mentioned that the CEO and Chairman were 2 of the nicest and fairest people he has ever come across. Back to the original issue there has and never will be any transfer fee for Jason.
Cheers

Cheers for that.
Thanks for clearing it up.
Lets hope he makes a real good go of his coaching career, as he has made of his playing one.

Can't see why we would choose to pay to take on an inexperienced coach when we had a choice of others who were proven.

There is a lot of fanciful talk on the York forum (which is their perogative) with suggestions that they can cherry pick our players as part of a compensation package. They even have the cheek to say that none of them are good enough!!!

If we do have to pay, then fair enough, but at some point York need to get their feet back on the ground. They may pull off a few surprise victories but are otherwise in for a rude awakening.

A little bird tells me their coach has a 3 page get out clause, we could see York rudderless come March

Yet their club thinks Jonny Presley is good enough and I wouldn't have had him in our top 10 performers last season.

York fans seem to think Dave Woods is superman and will have Presley making mincemeat out of all those second rowers/centres that will run at him

I can imagine Dave Woods wearing his underpants on the outside complete with flowing cape, striding back and forth with chest (belly) thrust forward, expounding the mysteries of good defence to John

I'm not knocking John, he is what he is. He will score tries against anyone but does not have the heart for defence.
