Quote craigizzard="craigizzard"Terrible the situation that Wakefield have got themselves in, and pretty low Hull and Huddersfield raping the carcass as the administrators asset-strip.
However...if we could work out a deal where we pay the administrators a fee for first option on Paul Johnson (the young one, not the old one), enabling the player to stay with Wakefield while they're in SL, then it would be worth thinking about. Assuming Peacock, Cross, Leuleui and Burgess will all be leaving in the next couple of years, we need a load of prop prospects, some of whom will make it some of whom won't, to come in alongside established players.
Having only seen him in the friendy and against Cas, Johnson looks a real prospect. I can't think of any other Trinity players who would improve the Leeds squad now or in the future.'"
Terrible what Huddersfield are doing ain't it, cos if we hadn't signed him the morally correct Leeds Rhinos wouldn't have !!!
What a joke, Leeds have been picking the bones of other teams for years but now you have other clubs on a level footing it all seems wrong.
It is sad what is happening to Wakefield, you would not know the feeling but we at Huddersfield do, the RFL should be ashamed allowing a club from the heartlands slowly die off while bending over backwards for some of the other teams.
Don't try to get all PC on us though cos if Obst and Ferguson hadn't signed for Hull and Huddersfield the Rhinos would have been sniffing round!!!
Tough you have missed out on another young talented Brit, whereas a few years down the line the Giants will be filled with em!!!
As for Wakey I hope all is resolved shortly and we can help by loaning some players ala last season.
