Ah apologies, I thought we had Rourke for another year.


Agree on Tchamambe - next year he's probably out on loan at Batley with a couple of possible first team appearances.


I'm not so sure on Vagana as a prop. He definitely doesn't run like one, and while it's massively coachable, his wrestle isn't great and he often gets turtled for such a big lad. I'd want him running wider, as he's so difficult to stop one or even two on one. I like Matt Whitley, but I don't know why he'd leave Saints as he's also a boyhood supporter.


I'm not a Tyrell Sloan fan. His defence is wesh. He made good metres at fullback but not anymore. He is rapid, but that doesn't cover his faults. I'd sooner have someone heavier, more explosive, and an aerial threat. Sounds audacious, but someone like Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Sam Stonestreet or even Nick Cotric.


As for British wingers, there aren't many realistic targets that would improve us. Adam Swift (32 now), Josh Charnley (34),  Jason Qareqare?




There are a handful of British props who we could target who would push for a spot in the 17, but no world beaters. Walmsley (35 now), Jack Ormondroyd (works hard but limited), Justin Sangare (the opposite), George King (not sure why he'd leave Giants but you never know). The outlier is Oliver Wilson, who we could probably tempt away from Fartown - he's technically good with room for improvement, got his best years ahead of him.

I agree - and when you put it like that it shows how light we are in the pack. Two props and a second rower for next season would do nicely. 

Hood on his way to Cas?!

That's how it goes, I'd have been more than happy if he'd stayed but only for another year. But you've no control when players leave and where they go.Hood will go well for them if he signs, but he's another year older and we know full well what he's capable of.

Wakefield Trinity star's prognosis unclear as boss gives concerning update

Wakefield Trinity star's prognosis unclear as boss gives concerning update

Losing TJ is a huge blow to getting in the 6 imo so I hope it’s not long. 


Losing the left edge of Pratt and TJ imo contributed to us losing at Hull. We lose a lot of metres, strong settled defence and experience on that wing. 


Is Russell injured again? I thought he’d be back in to be honest. 


At least Ollie back at centre will help somewhat.
