the thing is with such as tupou and johnstone they will be happy to pledge their future if the money is ok and wakey end each season a little higher every year and they see a glimpse of silverware and maybe international recognition. if they dip lower than 5th next year the players who are looking for success will be looking elsewhere. worse still if TJ gets called up next year his head will be turned and he'll be away but a good fee will go to wakey.

I said this ages ago on a different thread that when retaining players especially your better ones then obviously they or more appropriately their agents are only going to get them to sign on a much better contract and this is where Carter will struggle to retain their best players when he is running a tight ship and the gates don’t allow it. Looks like they will achieve another good finish this year yet (and Jinjer may be able to accurately answer this) I don’t think their gates have increased that much.

I still think the Tupou thing is just mischief causing though !

If your not getting the crowds you need or deserve id say in wakeys case your going to start to lose your best players unless you've got a chap like him at Huddersfield who just carry on regardless funding his team

Ha ha, and sleep.....In reply to some posts, yes our crowds haven't risen by that much if at all, but MC does run a tight ship and from what I've heard regarding Hampsh the contract is quite low in my opinion and for a three year contract no increase year on year, if that is the level of contract then we'll be miles away from all the other teams on our outlay.

I wonder if the question of, whilst Tupou may be happy & under contract, is his value to the team greater or lesser than that of a quality 6 or 7? I.e Hampshire or this Aussie half supposedly in talks.
Personally I think a quality half is harder to find, pay & keep than a quality centre, particularly at Wakey presently. Joe Arundel would be a shoe in at a lot of other clubs & wouldn’t weaken wakey in the same sense that not having a quality half would.
That said I don’t think it’ll come off!

A rumour is what someone has heard that he/she believes that may, or may not turn out to be true, therefore this is exactly the right place for it to be posted.
God knows we have had a lot of red herrings posted on here in the past!

Got to love Powell respecting Mick Carter and the Waki lot not announcing the signing till after the season as finished.

Respect.

Why have a rumour section if no one should post rumours...
