| I don't think you see the point alegend. To me looks as we are building a team of good age with still a lot to prove I.e hall , Russell,Trueman and possibly best years to come. Along with a couple of elder proven player's I e mcmekenn. Rugby is a team game, give me a well drilled team anyday

Does not matter how well drilled your team is ,if your spine is not up to it you will struggle ,As said been the main problem at Wakefield for the last 3 year

| I think if you take your mind back 18 months ago and think if we had been in the market for the player we are now would we turn our nose up at Olly Russell and Trueman? Or bringing in two Marquees?
The plan is a 4 year plan not a 2 year one. I guess next years target is aim for playoff, year after play offs and year 4 silverware. We need to build with players who are available year on year to build a squad, you can't just get it or you will just do what Salford did. Or look a Leigh rose fast and seem possibly to be crashing and burning.
HKR took a pragmatic slow approach to building and it's taken the a few year to look like challengers so just trust the process and enjoy the ride.

You need to look forward not back
The club is and sure 99% of supporters are too. These are super league players and as someone pointed out you build a team ie hull kr.. Best teams not necessarily have the best players I for one think we are making some shrewd signings and not finished yet I believe. So enjoy this season as I think next will be interesting too.

| The Alex walker thing was a bit of a cock up but this guy looks decent and it’s an area where we need to strengthen the squad - no not getting rid of max but we need cover at full back

| Ah that’d be a quality signing. Didn’t even know he was British so that’s a bonus. Seen him a few times this season and thought he looked a natural, fully-developed player, which makes sense if he’s 24. And probably the perfect level to sit behind Jowitt without sulking. Because let’s be honest - we’ve got cover at full back this year (Walmsley or Booth), but we need more than that next year

I’ve watched Booth a few times and to me he looks best at Centre. He’s tall and rangy with a good step and decent speed. If he can put on a stone he could be a handful to say the least.
Walmesley looks like a play anywhere type, but predominantly the wing. I think virtually all our backs for next year with the exception of TJ are multi purpose, and imo good multi purpose rather than makeshift. This will be vital in our first few seasons back in SL.

For god sake move on, different club hugely different ambitions. Does Powell seem the kind of bloke who panics. He’s been coaching for 20 years now and whilst at Cas he produced one of the best attacking teams to ever Grace SL on a fairly limited budget. Warrington didn’t work out but that’s one glitch, all coaches have those, even Wayne Bennett.

| The club is totally different now, we really do our research before we sign players. We won't get it right everything but I am sure we will get far more right than wrong. In the past we were to ready and gullible to believe the guff peddled by agents trying to off load their players. These days Steve Mills performs hours of research on all our signings which is a far more professional approach.
