This is the official squad of 2013, announced on the website! Pretty much what I expected what about you guys?

www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... s/2012/12/ Everyone where they should be. Nice and strong squad overall

The only number I questioned was 8. Personally, I'd have gone for Amor. He deserves it more for his performances/loyalty over the past few years, but I can see why a NSW international has been given it in fairness.

Lookin at squad were definately short of a prop

Agree, Amor bust a gut last season and came good in the end i.e. signing on the dotted line.

Who will be Number 23 then as its available? Was that Matt James squad number?

James was 25.

The squad number 23 has been reserved for a new signing, presumably a prop forward.

This years choices appear a bit more logical than last years.


Read into them what you you want. They aren't going to change just because individuals find their form or it dips.

Its a fair drop for Issac John, you have to wonder whether he's the one we are looking to offload. With number 23 left vacant i'm hoping theres a prop signing in the not too distant future.

Like i said before we are looking to offload Mellars and Johns they are on very decent contracts signed on by you know who !!

Squad looks good only reservations I have is Mathers and Lee Smith...like Mathers attitude and commitment and with ball in hand he is at times like a stand off...however he is a full back and he cost us too many matches for my liking and his line defence is woeful...would have him as a squad player though

As for Smith don't get him he was class at Whinos went to kick n clap and came back a different player just looked slow and very overweight.

Went in Ridings store today and was really surprised how tall Tim Smith is for a 7.

Agreed, personally I dont like Mathers. He seems to 'bottle it' a few times this season. He will do for now. However Lee Smith I believe can develop into a fitter player with a full pre-season with Clawson.

I think last season 23 was a fan who won the right to it at celebrate wakefield and as for smith and mathers I believe with a strong off season they could be brilliant for next year

I genuinely hope both prove me wrong...and trust our coach more than certain others who signed players !
