Wakefield fans really are a strange strange breed.

For the record I'd have Makinson in my side over Johnstone any day of the week. Better all round player.

I doubt Johnstone would've stopped the tries Makinson stopped on Sunday plus TM can play centre or full back too.

Johnstone will get his time though given his age.

And as a Trinity fan I agree and so do so many many others funnily enough.

So I take it this isn't a bait thread with just the job of getting a rise out of one set of fans?

This place does make me laugh though, you'd think Trinity was the first team over the decades that wanted their player in instead of a player on another side, especially when they're both top players. I remember all the arguments over who was going to get picked between Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Bradford fans back in the day, relatively small fry nowadays.

Why is praising Makinson baiting?

LOL why bring Makinson up in a new signing thread? Start a new one about him, if he wanted to call him the best winger in SL and all that. The point was that's where the thread became derailed and is all i pointed out, If you can't see it for what it is, I care less at this point.

You’ve proven yourself to be an idiot and probably affiliated with Jean and Kev as well

As a Cas fan I can see both sides of the “real” argument here having been part of it recently.
Having had too few good players over the last 20 years it’s easy for wakey fans to get giddy when you produce a home grown genuine quality player so you get behind them & are stunned when others don’t think they’re as amazing as you do it’s usually cos they’re used to seeing that level of quality on a more regular basis.
On the flip side Fans of so called bigger clubs don’t like a newcomer at the table forcing them to look at someone who doesn’t play in their 4 team league & they don’t want to play with the new kid so stick together Hoping that the newcomer will go away soon enough leaving them to discuss themselves to death.

Nah then Vasty, three day ban hit you hard did it? Jeez.

So I'm an idiot because I'd rather have Makinson in my side ahead of your beloved Johnstone? On what basis do I have to agree with Wakey fans over anything?

Again, you lot really are a strange breed.

Makinson by a country mile at the moment.

I can hear you moving about upstairs. I know you’re not asleep I’ve got you haven’t I?

ATEOD, it’s actually a nice topic of conversation for us fans to have as when was the last time we had 4 international class wingers to choose from? It was always one with Hall until recently with the emergence of Jerry.

I’m also a wakey fan but as much as I rate Tom he isn’t in the same league as makinson at this moment in time. I agree, makinson was outstanding. PS, we arnt all a strange breed.

Can we just clear up that a small handfull of posters by no means speak for "Wakefield Fans" and the majority of us have no desire to be lumped together.

TJ is a very, very good winger but behind Makinson and even MacGillivary by some way at the moment in my opinion. He'll get his chance soon enough though if he keeps up the good work.
