I've said before I'd try him on the wing although we have an excellent pair. I've always thought because of the way he hits at speed he would take some stopping from a few metres out

I think that those commenting that Annakin never breaks the line are somewhat missing the point. What Annakin gives you are quick play of the balls, giving the extra space from which to attack/ kick from. I've noticed in previous games how many times he takes the 4th or 5th drive in a set to provide just that. I also think he hasn't done himself any favours playing prop. He does a job yes, but he would probably be better utilised as a wide running second rower, against the smaller defenders such as your luke gales/ michael dobsons etc. I appreciate we currently have a glut of these at the moment though.

I would give him another contract, you need to have squad players, yes he wont play every week, but when he does he wont let you down. Id prefer to have a homegrown squad player in annakin who tries his hardest, than someone from another teams academy of the same level.

sad how the modern game is going 13 battering rams years gone by Annakin would have being worth developing ads a loose forward sadly skills lost just like SO SH Hooker

As long as Chris does not listen to his agent then I would suggest that he can secure his immediate future at Wakey, no doubt his agent will be making life difficult for everyone.

Except for the person he actually works for!

Annakin is worth a squad contract imho.
He isn't good enough to start when everyone is fit but he does give the team energy off the bench and that is important to be able to bring in when needed.
He will always be vulnerable to a young gun like Batch who shows great promise. They will keep jumping ahead of him.

Johnny T is fondly remembered by fans and had some great games leading the team but not when he was younger. He was behind Andy Kelly, Idle and the Raynes but he eventually found his mark.
I guess the difference being he could move into the front row including hooker. Not sure about Annakin doing that in the modern game.
