How can you say Amos Roberts is a bit of a Jonker? He was a fantastic player before he got injured playing us last year. A brilliant player and I would love him to come and play at Wakefield! Injuries like he got take ages to heal properly and although has been very limited this year, I am sure he will pull through for next year and will be a threat once again in the league.

[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

I was going to comment on Roberts! Overall unless he performs as he did at the start of the season before last next year...he will be a massive disapointment, but that is mainly due to injury, and he does have undoubted class, something the others dont. To put him in an all time poor team is a little harsh IMO.
Also disagree with Phelps who was a very good utility signing I thought!
Matthew Johns and Phil Bailey are also a little harsh in the original guys list.....Matty Johns never lived up to rep but was still half decent, as was Phil Bailey....Unfortunately Bailey came to us at the wrong time as far as he was concerned....he was always going to be looked at as a poor mans Bryan Fletcher. Given how immense Fletcher was it was always going to be difficult following in those footsteps, in the same way SoL has always been unfairly judged on Farrells standards. Had Bailey come into the team before Fletcher while not being classed as a world beater, he would have been deemed a decent signing

| Shane Millard has to be in there somewhere. Along with that fullback we signed under Millward who could only play Mondays and Wednesdays before 6pm due to religion or something ....

He wasn't that bad! I thought we missed him the season after he left because all we had was Higham and McIlorum, and Higham was never going to control a game like Millard could.
