I don't think WTW are in a position to be too choosey who they sign to be honest - even if it is from Tigers.

Anyway - seasons greetings, Yo-Ho-Ho and all that !

That's the way forward.


Thought you were a bit of an Owen fan or at least as a youngster.

I get the point regarding Kay but does that make Owen a bad signing?

OK we get it, you've won a few games and you're above us in the league for the first time in recent memory.

However your not Leeds, your team is very similar to ours and as is the way of these things next season could easily see things back to normal. It takes more than half a season for a run of form to turn into a footballing dynasty.

So yes where Cas (or any players not from Leeds, Saints or Wigan) are concerned we can afford to be choosey thanks.

Re: New Signing : Thu May 15, 2014 11:20 am  
I agree with El Ray regards Liam Kaye, but the unknown is wage demands and that could throw a completely different light on the subject.

It was rumoured that LK wanted 4 x what Wakefield wanted to pay but both could have been opening offers, for example WT offer £10k LK wants £40k
WT offer £15
LK says £35
WT go to £20
LK £30 then
WT offer £25k
Liam says deal and at that price it was good for both parties

If Richard Owen is receiving £20k or more then his loan deal is bad business imo

He played at Westgate Redoubt with my son, so i kmow all i need to know, good or bad.

Doesn't make him a bad signing at all and its not because im anti Cas.

Anyway its not official yet.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

Re: New Signing : Thu May 15, 2014 11:22 am  
Owen is a better winger then mathers that's for sure.

Bit of a poor comparison tbh.

Owen is a proven SL with 125 SL games under his belt. Kaye has nowhere near that experience level and has never shown the form Owen did a few years back in his entire career. We had 2 first team games out of Liam! Can we blame Agar, partly but not completely.

So for me I would certainly expect to pay more for Owens services than Kaye's, whether that's a wise investment I can't say until i've seen him play for us.

Also this idea that Kaye is a product of our Academy is a touch spurious IMHO. If I remember correctly he joined us from Bradfords Academy after starting with Leeds quite late in his junior career (18). Also he isn't from Wakefield not that this bothers me. To suggest he's a product of our Academy system is pushing it a bit to suit an argument. Someone like Chris Anakin is a better example of a true Academy product.

Powell says he's looking to freshen the team up for Sunday and Clare, Owen and Ellis are all in line for a recall. Panic over?
