I actually think the best obtainable players are within our own Super League. Top NRL players aren't going to sign, neither or Union players.



If we were going to break the bank or make a marquee signing, I'd sooner it be on a SL 'name'.

But just maybe Wigan did look at him and either said no, or more likely said he's worth a contract of £X and no more. Wakefield however, may have been willing to take the risk and pay him £Y.



I know previously IL has said "That's the max we will pay for certain players when they were available"



Wigan will only pay what THEY think the player is worth, not our (supporters) valuation.



Just check out Scott Taylors statement after signing for Wigan.

I don't understand why some fans still seem to regard every overseas player who signs for someone else as a missed opportunity.



Clubs like Wakey are full of players like Poore, and it never makes any difference to them. They still finish at the lower end of the table.



While, on the surface of it, our own recruitment doesn't seem to be hugely adventurous, perhaps we ought to give the club some credit. We finished first last season. We must have done something right.

Can I be the first to say - THIS WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT US!

Don't worry, I'll hold my hand up if so, and you may all heap abuse upon me.

Craig Kopzack has signed 3 yr deal with Huddersfield. Good signing for the Giants that!

He won't be a popular lad around Bradford!



It doesn't surprise me that Huddersfield are the club that tapped him up prior to him leaving Bradford either. He's a bit older then the lads they usually get in to but it's an old tactic of theirs.

I think we dodged a bullet with Poore. Another Josh Perry in the making. Interesting article here about George Carmont BUT also about Dean Bell sounding out Harrison Hansen for NZW www.nzherald.co.nz/league/news/a ... d=10842844
