It was always going to be hard for him yesterday, coming on when the game was on its way to being lost against one of the best defences in the league. Looking forward to seeing him over the next few weeks, against sides he might be able to bully.

Give him a chance.. its taken Cooke half a dozen games to start showing form... oh wait

He just needs fitness time. He'll get better each game.

and we need to give him a chance with the ball......he got a couple of ridiculous passes when he was stood still and still made the tacklers work to put him down.

Far too early to tell, but he looked ok; he's certainly an imposing presence on the field and put in some decent tackles. Hopefully his fitness will improve quickly and he'll make a big impact.

way too early to start hanging a player out to dry , there is also a long queue

He went ok for me, his size made him cumbersome at times but Big C tried putting a few big hits into the ribs and he looked an hard man to knock back in the tackle!

I listened on Yorkshire radio yesterday and Andy Raleigh was the guest summariser and he said that 'Leaeno was the biggest player he had seen on a rugby pitch' probably an exaggeration

He did ok and made a good start. He managed to hold on to the ball unlike some players and i think that if we can get him the ball to run at players properly unlike yesterday when we gave him it 1 yard away from the defence then he will do well.

He looked like a care bear to me ! He will be another waste of money when theres a great young prop like Gledhill. Really don't see the point. Our in play kicking is nothing short of appauling we need a kicker in general play what the hell is going on its not hard to see. We have no organisation what so ever we were nothing short of a embarassment yesterday.

I'd love to watch the game thru your eyes...
What was Charlie meant to do when he gets slow ball and has about a metre to run the ball in with an enthusiastic Wigan pack flying at ya??
I suppose Gledhill would have bumped off two made a break and flicked the ball on to a suppost player??
Please....

To be fair yesterday I though Karl Pryce was the biggest player I've seen on a rugby pitch.

That's a great idea, judge him on a couple of 10 minute stints 10 days after arriving in the country.

We are Wakefield Trinity, we cannot expect to sign World Beaters and have them turn up and play like that from the very first minute they take to the field. Give the lad a chance, you may be pleasantly surprised (you may not but at least give him time to make an impression)

you are such a sausage. Big C is a man mountain who will prove to me a fantastic addition to the side. just been talking to him in the gym he said he is still on 60% fit. he said give me 2 weeks you will see the best me.


top bloke!!!

Pryce is a bit on the fleshy side; Charlie looks like he's got muscles in his spit.

King and Charlie were the only Trinity players that the Wigan defence could not put on their backs. Charlie` won the ground `, ie when the ref called held he was on his elbows and knees, as a result we got a quick play of the ball.

All the Wigan players were able to win the ground, hence the quick play of the ball with us on the back foot.

I like the look of Charlie, when we get BJ back or sign a quick passing hooker he will improve our attack.
