He was a waste of space for the majority of last season, perhaps this explains why? I think we'll be a better team for the fresh start and brand new playmakers.

I'll settle for ones that can actually make plays if it's all the same to you

He'll be no different at Wakefield imo. He plays now to pay the bills and thats about it. If ever there was a player that should have been a one club man it was Newton with Wigan. He was never signed as a junior instead going to Leeds and when he eventually made his way to Wigan he looked like a different player. His game went up a few gears at Wigan and then when he left it went back down.

He'll be no loss for Bradford imo and I don't see his form improving that much at Wakefield.

Kear has the ability to rejunvinate players who had gone stale at their previous clubs for various reasons. SHould be interesting to see where he lines up - i can see him running at LF for big chunks of the game as I think Obst is set for the 9 shirt interchanging with Latu.

Really ?

Running?

I think that's a good point. There's no way Obst will not be playing a major pat this season after last.

Indeed.

I think if Obst ended up playing a bit part in favour of Newton starting every week, it wouldn't be long before Obst was rightly after a move. He was better than Newton last season and I see nothing that suggests it will be any different this season.

Newton will be on a fair wedge. I can't imagine him not being first choice there.

with obst being heclubs player of the year for last 2 years I think he will get a start over newton - as I said I think newton will be our lf next year or on the interchange bench

Newton doesn't have the pace or fitness to play LF anymore, Plus it'll be easier for him to go hiding if he's in the back row.

Newton doesn't have the mobiltiy to cover the whole field for 80 minutes these days so I cant ee him playing LF, Especially when they have, Morro, JD and Ferguson. I like him though, he's a gifted ball player and more often than not makes the right decisions.

so why were the rest of your players crap also, even sam burges. newton wasnt slagging your club of he just said he wasnt enjoying being there didnt say why.

One or two were. A good number were not. A good number were injured.

Newton was crap. That had a significant effect on our season.

Who?
