Put that with the back line we've recruited and you'd have to say playoffs at least next year.. maybe a good cup run!

The future is definitely looking a lot better for us!

We just need a good half to make the team tick.

Another forward and another back to come in I reckon, a 6 and a coach finish it all off both of whom I believe we have identified.
Clear the dead wood and the deserters and blood the kids for the rest of the squad.

Yes, A big half signing for stand off and we look good.

Think to finish off the team we need ..

Stand-off (has to be quality and priority)
Prop
Winger (possibly Fox???) - Dont we only have Morton???

Hmmm

Couple of injuries under the belt and an ambition for the year to stay injury free - hopefully he will do. Suppose you dont play this many 1st grade NRL games without having something about you and he's under 30 too, and as long as he stays fit he most probably will be an improvement on the imports we already have

Welcome aboard lad, fingers crossed you stay fit and rip it up. Lets hope you have ginner rage.

He is a very good defender, he's just the type of player that Elston said they wanted to sign at the recent Trust meeting.

That is how i remember Southern to be. A tough as nails worker.

he was very good when he played for the Cowboys as far as i can remember

Congrats on another suberb signing by the looks of it, Yes slightly jealous of this one and Mellors

But is onyone on Twitter i get a few RL feeds and one today from Code13rugbyleague made me chuckle, Talk about lazy reporting for a change, See if you can spot the howlers

"Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have confirmed the signing of another recruit for next season, with back-rower Steve Southern inking a three-year deal, subject to work permit.
The 19-year-old has spent the last season with the Newcastle Knights in the NRL, and prior to that he enjoyed six seasons with the North Queensland Cowboys.

A player who has clocked up 129 NRL appearances, ‘Bluey’, as he is nicknamed, played in an NRL Grand Final with the Cowboys in 2005.

“I’m really excited about my future at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, with a new owner, new Super League licence and new coach it really is the start of something new and I’m stoked to be a part of that,” Southern said.

“I have a lot of family in England and I’ve always wanted to get over here and play Super League. I’m really happy that I’m finally doing that for Wakefield and I can’t wait to get out on the field and put in my all as a Wildcat.”

Trinity chief executive James Elston was also delighted to be welcoming an established NRL player to his club for next season.

“Steve is a great addition to our squad for the next three years, his NRL experience will provide a great boost to many of our younger players and his ruthless playing style will be great for our supporters to see,” he said.

“I have heard many great things about Steve’s work ethic and he has been a popular member with both fans and players at every team he has been at, I’m sure he will be a perfect fit at The Wildcats. I look forward to his arrival and seeing him in action for Wakefield.”

Some Player to be in a GF at 13

Subject to Uk Border Agency clearance,please God dont let him have a parking ticket or a overdue library book in his distant past

At least we have learned and are sorting it out well ahead of schedule this time.

Southern is known to be, as Stevo would say, one tough hombre - will certainly add some steel to the defence.

A great signing for mine - welcome aboard!

Good signing just hope he stays fit
