| We dont need any new players. There is no need to panic. Were only one game in, If we go 10 games without a win, then it might be time to panic.

Me too! Topped our tackle count, and is quite rightly in many of our top 3 votes.

Don't see why you have said that, 1 in every 5 posters put him in their top 3 players from Saturday and he was my motm many a time last season. Pus he had a great game in the final.

| Nothing wrong with McIlorum however I would be tempted to try Chris Tuson there to see if he could offer some depth in the position.

| McIlorum played well against Saints, but we did look like we needed something a little bit different around the ruck, but if it wasn't for the Deacon injury I imagine Leuluai would have moved to hooker and that would probably have added something a little different.
McIlorum and Leuluai should do well if they both get the chance to play at 9. I don't think McIlorum would work out as an 80 minute hooker because I'm not convinced he can be effective enough in attack for that long whilst maintaining such a strong defence and high work rate. Add Leuluai in there for a short spell and perhaps we'll have what we need.
It's important not to criticise McIlorum too harshly but you also have to be realistic, McIlorum is not a patch on Roby, Monaghan or Buderus who are three top hookers from what look like the strongest sides in the competition.

| I think Mcilorum is ok and has the ability to be a good hooker. He's certainly served his apprenticeship at the club as well.
I do however think that Tommy is a better 9. If the PTB speed is gonna be as quick as it was on Saturday vs Saints then we’d be stupid not to utilise Tommy there as he’d be an instant hit there with his speed off the mark, strength and footwork.

| Hope that we show more class than some of the vultures picking at the carcass of Wakefield.
The administrator has to accept any offer ad he is in there to represent the creditors and is not working in the long term interests of the club
Tells you something about the "family" of rugby league when instead of making a decent offer before the club went into administration or wait until the new owners come in they're in trying to get their best players on the cheap.
I'd be less critical if Wakefield had gone to the wall and players were being picked up as free agents, at least they would be ensuring players were still employed

| Rinaldi, like piggy, has what it takes to lead us around the park, where as McIlorum lacks this skill, i would put MM in the same league as one trick Mick, not very good but tries hard, which simply isn't good enough

You place McIllorum in the same bracket as I place Paul Prescott. That's not to say I agree with you, I don't but we have Leuluai who can cover hooker. To panic buy another hooker ONE GAME into the season, brings back memories of 2006, panic buying, awful players making us pi$$ poor.
Come off it, replacing him with Rinaldi? Seriously?
