He’s not on his own either by all accounts. Not a happy camp.

I don't understand the thoughts of people in the game Wakefield players may well be unhappy like the firm says but to call for a strike when it would finish the game is ridiculous
Hethrington at Leeds moaning about having to play in France with them having some fans in giving them a advantage it's crazy stuff and it will carry on for certain until the RL and Super league sort it out

Such a tough situation for people & I can see both sides of the argument. Personally, I would always support a workers right to strike, but I question whether it’s the right course of action here as I don’t see how it could bring about a happy resolution, unless the club(s) in question have more money than they’re letting on.
It’s really sad that people find themselves in this position (sports people or otherwise) & I just hope everyone comes through it unscathed, though I suspect it’s going to get worse over the next few years for many.

Would you work for a pay cut on a agreed contract in a short career that can be ended by one knock. Of course you wouldn’t.

I’m sick of employers riding roughshod over staff. This isn’t a rugby league gripe it’s a gripe about the current situation, they took easy option of furlough as soon as they could. Were the finances of some of the business/clubs that bad that they needed a crutch?!?

I’m in favour of the players strike. It’s been a long time coming. They added 4 games on and magic but didn’t increase wages for them.

It’s time the players stuck 2 fingers up to the RFL and Sky.

Didn't realise wakey had signed innes senior from Huddersfield on loan. They must have some right cash. Gigot, Kay and now senior.

We had to let a player leave to find funds.

Carter is a miracle worker. All credit to him.
This isn't sarcasm, by the way.

I think some Wakey fans would prefer a new coach to new players coming in...

Chester won’t be in charge by this time next year.

Not a good coach, or bloke either to anyone unfortunately in his company

I’ve know Chris a lot of years and must say he’s a nice lad and very knowledgable about RL

Always thought of him as a decent coach and an English one at that.
Not met him.
But seems genuine enough on TV

F him, I’m guessing he wants out, we’ll probably release him because he’s homesick and he’ll sign for Wigan/Warrington within a week, tw@t.😡
