Also I bet Les Cats were absolutely sick of seeing Ben Cockayne popping up all over the pitch and running hard at them

Our top 3 metre makers are Cockayne, Fox and Mathers with a combined effort of 3846M

That says a lot about the way our team is set up to play and I think the 3 of them do a fantastic job in getting us moving.
I would agree that Fox is prone to the odd blunder but I think you'd have to say he more than makes up for it through effort. I very rarely notice him "lose a collision", he generally makes at least another 5 metres once hit by tacklers through sheer leg power.

Collis is 6th in terms of Metres made but top in terms of Average Gain per carry. With 6 tries and 7 try assists to his name also, I would love to see him signed up on a longer term contract.

Like others have said, he's a cracking player but if he's asking more than we can afford then let him go. I can't see any other reason for him not being renewed tbh, he's already said he wants to stay, so over to the money men to make it happen!

What's the rush? He can't leave us unless we want him to and he can't talk to others until next April. What about if we signed him up long term and he got a long injury or his form went through the floor? People would be going crazy and i bet someone would suggest he did it on purpose. Just because he wants a new deal doesn't mean we have to do it right now.

I meant argument in the less combative sense i.e another word for a discussion!

I'm between two posts on this one and in the end, you're probably right; if he could flick out accurate offloads in every collision, he'd be at Wigan or Leeds, not Wakey. I had the same discussion at the game on Saturday in regard to Tim Smith - if he could produce the magic touch every play AND bend 'em in half in defence, he'd be plying his trade in the NRL.

We are Wakefield Trinity, where the whole has to be significantly more than the sum of its parts.

Agree completely - we're not going to be in a position to cherry pick the players we want (not for the short/medium term at least) so we need to be cute in those that we sign and hope the waifs, strays, chancers and unfinished/incomplete players we do get hold of improve and gel together like they have in the past.

Any road, lets hope that Collis gets the ball away in traffic on a more regular basis - but only after he has put pen to paper on a new deal for us of course.
