First of all I think the two are totally unrelated in terms of the deals done!

The club was approached by Bradford in what appears to have been a move completely independent of Wakefields efforts to sign another half back.

Wakefield, who I believe are in the mood to revamp the squad irrespective of the league we end up in, saw the chance to free up salary space for no other reason than it gives us more scope for recruitment.

The good form of Wildie, Hyde, Davey (which releases Lee to play 7)and Lee must have offered some comfort that if we let BJ go we were still well covered at halfback, whilst not disguising the fact that long term we need to recruit some craft and creativity.

Also i don'y buy the fact that we are trying to save money. My reason for this is that why would we bring Jarred Hickey half way round the world if we are trying to save money? We could have easily not signed him and this would have saved us a few bob. Maybe i will be accused of being rose-tinted but i still believe that the club have something up their sleeve.

I'm still to be convinced about Hyde at stand off to be honest, he has an awful lot to learn. Thing is he needs to do it pretty damn quick now, lets hope he steps up to the plate because we are short of options if he doesn't.

So is there any truth in the rumour that Korki is on his way as well?

I have heard the Korky rumour and if he did go it wouldn't surprise me because we are bringing Hickey in. I would personally only let Korky go if we know that we can keep Amor for the rest of the season.

Maybe the contract was already signed.

True but he did have the chance to join Souths so i am sure if we were trying to save money we could have sorted something out. That is unless he has been told about the Westgate Run and would prefer that to Sydney.

If he did have a chance to join Souths, it was probably only as a stop-gap to shore up their injury problems; perhaps he sees half a season here as a chance to reignite his career and earn himself a more permanent (and lucrative) berth somewhere for next season and onwards?

Let's not foget, this lad hardly troubled the Dogs starting 17 last season and has been in the wilderness for a year or so, so he's got something to prove. It's a shame he won't be ready for the Cas game - I guess he's not a big enough 'name' for the RFL to fast-track his registration, like they were able to do for a certain Mr Mason when they aided and abbetted HKR to embarass themselves and the sport.

As for Korki - he's on loan as I understand it, so even if he does agree a deal with another club, he should stay until the end of the season; in reality, I can't see him getting a glamour move, so he's likely to end up with one of our fellow cellar dwellars - Cas are struggling for forwards aren't they...?

That was probably the deal clincher -- no brainer really!!!

You are right, when signing players we shouldn't take them to have a look round Belle Vue, we should just take them down Westgate on a Saturday night.

hickey was offered a year from Souths but the wages might have been not as good as here.

I've heard Henry Fa'fili and semi . And we won't be going into championship Halifax and Widnes to come up to make a 14 team league !

its already a 14 team league

Halifax and Widnes to come up to make 14? That means 2 to go down

Also why would we want 2 wingers?

who are we signing? no one
when are we signign them? never!

sounds like a protest chant haha
