Tbf to Powell, Trueman got brought over and he got evaluated by our medical team before we bought him and he said at the time that he didn't think that his injury that had kept him out was gonna be a problem, and tbf it hasn't. He got a back strain or something along that line, and that's kept him out of the last few games. Ateotd, no matter how good someone's injury record is or isn't, these things can happen. Hopefully, he isn't far off because this run of games could be big for us. After all, you can see the reason why Powell brought him in: he's a top-class half, as shown against Leeds, Wire and Hudds, and British ones are like gold dust at the moment.

It was just sods law that when Russell got a chance to play half, he gets an even longer term injury and our 4th half Lawford is still recovering from last seasons injury.

That doesn't make it any clearer Trojan but I don't have a problem. I just don't understand why you see Walmsley as the best option for 6.
You may be right. I'm not saying you are wrong.


But I don't see a winger who has never played 6 in his life as the next best option.
And more so, see playing one player in a position he doesn't always play but has experience out of position than 2 players out of position with one having never played in a pretty key role.


It's not that it can't happen. Ben Cockayne did it for a while.

I can see where Trojan is coming from.Max is a matchwinner at FB- we really have missed him.
That means Jay pitts again at SO not ideal but at least he probably has more experience there than Walmsley. 
I'll leave that poser to the coach!

Think our cover for full back as been very good ,20 minutes laps in cup game does not make him a bad player .

I totally agree ! Roarke is a very good fb but Max has the edge in attack for me. In fact  I don't think there is a better fb in SL at creating chances for others  - and that includes Welsby who to me is more of an individualist.

Like you big fan of Max ,just let us leave it a while before we say he is one of the best English full back in S L. ,spent last year in Championships ,were he was outstanding .Looked good till he got injured.He as been missed .but not as much as other important position in the team

Just my opinion of course.People forget he didn't just spring up in the championship- he was an excellent fb in SL for a few years
Again, just my opinion , but Max at FB would have lessened the lack of a Recognised SO.

On Max, someone still needs to pass him the ball.


Also, we have 12.5 points start with the bookies. That's quite a favourites tag. Hope we handle it well.

Max and Griff both confirmed for tomorrow...  Daryl Powell guarantees two big returnees for Wakefield Trinity?s derby clash ? Total Rugby League
