| Dagger is a good SL quality full back who I personally think will cement his spot at 1 for Wakefield for the rest of the season in a move which may see Max when he returns move to 6 which would see a considerable upgrade on pace and strike in our backline.
He’s an Academy International fullback and a local junior.
Kay has been doing an admiral job as a stop gap tackling and catching high balls but he isn’t a pivot and the fullback position in the modern game is one of the most creative outlets in the team.
Dagger provides that outlet of a creative pivot playing at second receiver, he has natural pace and evasion skills.
He’s behind Coote who is widely regarded as the best organisational fullback in the league however when he has played this season he has gone very well.
I appreciate he is going to get panned should we lose against Saints this week but in reality getting him in now gives us an opportunity to get him more acclimatised before the Cas game the week after which is obviously huge.
I appreciate I’m in the minority but taking the 2023 season in isolation I think this is a good move.

| I think you can accommodate both Dagger and Jowitt like we did yesterday.
Dagger offers something different at 6 than any other half we have in pace.
For me it’s a bun fight for the 7 shirt with Dagger at 6 and Max at 1.
Should form fade then we have options to replace players which is great and creates competition for places.

| If Gaskell has gone (although for some reason seems a secret) Then it's probably Dagger and Lino in halves. Bowes and Smith at hooker, Max to FB. That's our strongest spine with our available squad in my opinion.
I have not included Gale in my reckoning as yet we have to see him play, if ever that day arrives

| He's definitely a handy player, very pleased with what I've seen. Happy for him to stay at stand off.

| Max looks to have lost a bit of pace since returning from injury. Hopefully he will get back to pre_ injury form soon

| Agree with all the comments especially Dagger at stand off, he was every bit as good as milky & better on his ball in hand kicking.
With Max his attacking & cut out passing is one of the best in SL, his cut out of two players defending against our two attackers sending
the ball to our winger on over lap was sublime, to miss out two for a 3rd man catch ie, four men unable to touch the ball is skill & should be
recognised ! However I don't think he is 100 % fit & he got a further knock which he shook off.
