You can believe what you want, I really don’t care! Like you I’m an avid Wakefield Trinity fan and the club will always come first but I won’t slavishly tow the party line when I know different. you can only act on what you see and hear so I don’t blame you for not believing, he’s good at presenting himself as something he’s not.

Those who know him better understand that the image he presents to you and the reality are very different.

OH Yes ? He loves to go on there and play the big I am, his specialities are killing any rumours about players coming or leaving, ridiculing anyone who has an opinion and his extra special trick is threatening legal action against anyone who writes stuff he doesn’t like. He goes by the name of Daddycool, ? ? He completely misses the point abut forums being a place where fans can gather and gossip, dream and speculate, much the same as they do in a pub or in the crowd at a match.

I’m genuinely interested to know what Stewart and Canberra have done for him? He was a well established International player, winner of multiple titles and was earning good money at Wigan. So quite what they’ve done for him I don’t know?

Young Kershaw won’t be signing for Wakefield according to Mike Carter because in his own words Carter has “given up”. Seems strange for a Chief Executive to be openly talking about negotiations with a player on a fans forum. That said Carter loves to make himself the centre of attention while playing the hard man with a 21 year old kid.

Very sad and vary tragic, a family’s lost a son, a brother, a partner and two children have lost their dad! RIP young man

I’d rather see new rules to limit the number of tries scored from crossfield kicks! Make tries scored from a kick worth 3pts with no conversion attempt. It would become another layer of tactical scoring like the drop goal. It would encourage keeping the ball in hand and more inventive play. I know the argument about it being a difficult skill which deserves the reward of a normal try but too many sets end in crossfield kicks, most unsuccessfully.

It’s the rlfans one, just had a quick look

Mike Carter getting a bit vexed on the other forum because he’s had a little bit of scrutiny. Some people are questioning whether it’s sunlight shining out of his backside or just the back door security light which he’s setting off himself by regularly jumping up & down in front of it. He’s worried the facade might be slipping

Didn’t Carter work for his dad’s company before inheriting a small fortune from his dad? If that’s the case, and I’ll stand being corrected, then Carter hasn’t HAD to work a day in his life and wouldn’t have a clue what a 21 year old without his advantages goes through. Even if his dad made him work for a wage, he will have always known he had a safety net beneath him. That’s very different from a young lad from a modest background trying to earn a living. Poor attitude from Mike Carter

Loves his name in the papers does Mike! He’ll be volunteering to consult with the RFL on the implications of ‘Black Lives Matter’ on Rugby League next! As for Trinity, 1st Team squad members being on less than minimum wage is the tip of the iceberg.

That’s not enough for Scotchy1 who obviously thinks that the Rugby League’s international eligibility & qualification rules are a precursor to the UKs new immigration laws. Get a grip Scotchy1 fella, you’ve taken this way too far and must surely be bordering on libellous insults toward a bloke you don’t even know!

One or two posters here seem to be turning this into a debate about some kind of racist, bigoted, ignoramus! This is about finding the right formula for selecting a national sports team while maintaining a level of integrity that protects the honour of doing so. I suggest those who wish to throw around labels like ‘racist’ have no justification for doing so and should take their agenda somewhere else.

With regard to Shaun Wayne’s comments about Victor Radley, he is a superb player who qualifies directly for two National teams, he has made his choice, good luck to him! His choice should now be permanent with no option to change to another nation if he can’t make the Australian team. The ability to swap from one nation to another is ridiculous and makes a mockery of international competition. As far as I’m concerned it’s our best against the best of other nations which includes everyone from the Manager to the bloke who rolls the socks into pairs with a stick of Wriggleys chewing gum. If we prove to be not good enough then we know we need to improve and if we win the next World Cup then it’s a complete victory for the nation and not diluted or shared with another nation who provided elements of our team for us. Simple with credibility, not contrived & shallow!

IMO, qualification should be pretty strict, I’d drop the Grandparent qualification and strictly adhere to one of the following Born in the Country in question / Parent(s) / Passport Holder.
