my thoughts exactly

We had been linked with him the season prior to the meltdown, I think Kear had him earmarked for a while. It didn't work out, good luck to the lad at Salford.

Has all the basic skills, but a total lack of pace renders him average at best.

Agreed jonh. If he was bigger and stronger he could get away with being on the slow side a la Wellens, not saying he'd be as good mind. Unfortunately for him he is both small and slow and I can't really see him ousting Luke patten out of the number 1 shirt!

True, he showed some nice touches and had a decent short kicking game (apart from drop goals!) but couldn't get away.

Have to say Vievers was ok at full back but looks more of a good championship player than a SL regular.

Howarth isn't a bad signing for them.

It's a shame for Salford. But the basic business/marketing models are not their to build on for their move to their new stadium.

Much like Wakefield of old, I'd like to think that our transition to a shiny stadium will be smoother and should be now we are much Improved off the field.

Salford are my tip for wooden spoon but I think it would be a shame if they do and I hope they avoid it for their fans sake who have had a rough ride last few years.

Can't see vievers ousting patten as someone said...maybe we've signed him for cover.

Hope you lot come to check out the new ground this year!

PS - I still think our squad is ok....patten, holdsworth, godwin, moon, broughton etc should give us enough quality to challenge for 10th place.....I hope!!

Dear me Salford may have just signed one of the worse players Ive ever seen in a Wakey shirt .

Is Josh actually Phil's son?

Yes.

Surprised to see Vievers get a SL contract so yes probably cover. 10th is possible as generally the gap between 13-10 is only a win or 2.

Lots of people tipping us for the spoon on total el like every year but we fin 13 last year and this year we have had a few hundred thousand more invested in our squad, improving off-field and retained the success of 2011 (Johnson, Moriano and Amor).

Will be an interesting season for a few teams.
