Max failed his HIA didn’t he? If so he can’t play.

They’ve spoke to the RFL apparently.

Makes sense to bring in a loan player to take the hammer from Catalans.

And then his luck took another turn for the worse for a minimum of 2 weeks?!
Only Wakey could end up in a situation with too many full backs only to then somehow run out of full backs and have to get someone in

If so then i agree with you, just leave Max at fullback and play Brad Walker at stand off.

Think Max is like TJ stood down for 4 weeks unless the RFL uphold Wakefield's appeal.

Reminds me of matty ashton from the wires, both fast and elusive and look about 12 ,looked a great prospect when he was in the Widnes squad . What impact he will have in his two week tenure is hard to see, but give the lad a chance I say

He doesn’t need to do much just the basics will be fine.

No he isn't.
1) you are stood down if you have two consecutive HIAs or you don't recover in the week by failing the assessment again.
2) you can't appeal an HIA.

Because he's not good enough (at the moment) and neither is Croft.

You’ve got to despair at times.

Ollie has some obvious potential and had a really good go in his last game but he’s not better than Lyne or Bill or Arundel.

Croft is closer and if we were short of centres then maybe.

Above all though you don’t want to bring youngsters into a demoralised team. It’s not just that we are losing we are low on confidence.

Matters at that age, there are exceptions, I don’t suppose it would have worried a young Danny Brough but they are rare.

It’s the senior players imho who need to step up we shouldn’t be expecting miracles from rookies.

Greensmith looked ok v dewsbury better than players who play sl.as for croft hes more than ready he did well last year and certainly more ready than the 2 wingers currently playing

Croft for me is the one who will be taking over from Tupou when he leaves Wakefield which may be end of this season?

J thought Croft did very well last season when called on and certainly looks the part.

I’m sure that sending him out for a string of games in the championship will help him progress further and I suspect in 2022 he will be our first choice left centre.

But Croft isn't a winger!

Kershaw, Kay and Senior are.

Greensmisth is better than players who play in SL, after one game against Championship Dewsbury in a friendly, seriously!

So what is your point?

Tupou is under contract for next season so i'd expect him to still be here.
