Fair play then, I forgot about pettybourne and thornley. not sure your coach is so sure about charnley as a first choice though, Burgess and gelling seem to be the favouits these days.

Charnley will be his first choice winger 100%.

Just a little gee up to get him mentally prepared for when he's back.

Faz and Bateman are both excellent young players. For the balance of the team though they are too similar.

A strike back row forward today and I feel we could have been going into the semi final draw.

No because some of us were saying it was not right before the event. Wane lost the plot.

I know Taulima and he's a great guy who is fantastic to have around the training ground, he'll bring a new dynamic to the group of players and brighten the mood whenever he's about the place. That's not to portray him as a joker because he's not he will train as hard as any other player whether it out on the field or on the weights.

I haven't seen him dominated by any other teams forwards in his time at Wakefield, that's not to say that he doesn't have an error in him because he does, however he will hit hard in the tackle and he will carry the ball as strong as any forward. What makes him different is he has a very good offload game, he has great footwork which often gets in through the first line of defence and when he makes a break he has a remarkable turn of speed for a big man.

You will be hard pressed to find a Wakefield fan who is not disappointed that he is leaving but as a testimony to his character everyone wishes him well and is pleased for him that he's got this chance to play for Wigan

We lack size in the pack when they're both on the field.

Both fantastic players, but we need a big SR to rotate them with - or try Bateman out at C.
