Finding it hard to believe that Hall is going to Rovers in exchange for deadwood Dagger.

I don't normally go against the coaching staff but this seems a terrible move to me

One thing though, Hall has barely featured this season so I wonder if he's already been tapped up and has fallen out with the club, it wouldn't be the first time.

Sack the board and coach ,dont understand this move by the club

Can’t back this deal I’m afraid.
Hall has his whole career in front of him - Lyne and Langi are at the end of their careers.
Kaye was fine at FB till he was moved.

I’ve already suggested on the other thread, perhaps his head has been turned by his two former teammates now playing for HKR.

Why slag Dagger off, he’s not dead wood, he’s a good player. Don’t understand the need to slag him off, it’s not his fault we need a FB and this is the only way we can do it.

You do realise he’s a Trinity product, part of our scholarship team in 2015 - god enough for Warrington to pay him a huge signing on fee.

But he was deadwood at KR wasn't he?

He was 3rd choice and he wasn't playing games. He was dispensable.

At Trin he's not deadwood and I agree we should back him.

But, this one stings given the circumstances.

No matter how good or bad Dagger may be we still badly need that No.6.

My initial reaction was the same as everyone else's, but I understand this could be a very good deal for Wakey - time will tell.

And that's all I have to say on this matter.

Can you honestly see me forgetting something like that.

Another "Will" left us at the same time to join Hull KR but his surname escapes me at the minute.

While this could prove a decent transfer (yet to be seen) it still highlights two things to me.

1. How successful our academy is and has been. KR are turning to trinity homegrown players to build for the future in - Hall, Aydin, Batchelor and have just had one for a number of years in Dagger. It’s testemebt to our academy which is a resounding success.

2. The inability to kick on from our successful season 5 years ago where we had players making dream team and were a daunting fixture for a number in the league. We have eroded year on year since then in terms of future planning for the squad and marketing the club especially. There are some reasons sure but it’s a real shame we couldn’t kick on and build. With the new development we may be able to do this next year but we need to survive short te this season. It’s not going to be east but I do still think there is enough quality with what we have to not be bottom at the end.

Whichever way you look at it. Hull KR ultimately have benefitted from our declining situation over the last few years.

That is absolutely no reason to give up. It’s more a reason to fight and evolve the business that is Wakefield Trinity to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

That's the guy. Thanks.

Just checked Wiki. He was offered a pro contract by 9 different clubs, including us, when in our scholarship set up. Chose Hull KR. Was at York last season.
