Really enjoyed the interview. It feels quite alien to feel this optimistic and positive regarding our future, and I’ve probably been following a fraction of the time some of the posters have been watching Trin. The thing for me that shows that we want a seat at the top table is sending our recruiting manager to Aus for their magic weekend. For probably financial reasons that’s never been a possibility of actually trying to attract over a top NRL player like a Paul Vaughn or a Tariq Sims etc who are players who probably have never heard of us never mind want to actually play for us. The future looks really bloody bright.

We've brought top players over before but I agree, getting someone involved this much is a good sign.
Again though, managing expectation, Powell said hes working on the Championship team and also the proposed SL team for the year after. He isn't recruiting a NRL player fir this year I'm sure. They'll be from lower leagues for now.
And just a reminder, Proctor was a 'current NRL player'

I agree, every team in SL have brought over dud NRL players. The 2 players I mentioned in Vaughan and Sims have played Rep footy in the last 2/3 years and could still be playing now in the NRL, pretty sure Proctor and Taufua wouldn’t.

Neither were playing NRL 1st grade at the time. Proctor hadn’t played in months and got sacked and Taufua had hardly played any first grade games for 2 seasons prior to us signing him.

| All very positive stuff, if all the plans come to fruition then maybe we will finally get back to mixing it with the big boys in time. It might not all happen overnight but the future seems very bright.

| Anyhow the green eyed monster is well and truly on display over on the Total Rugby League forum, quite a fun read!

| All this positivity coming out of the club I may need to change my avatar. What a great interview, the direction these two are taking the club is exciting.

I agree, but let's just remember we haven't really done anything yet.
The bit I did specifically like was Ellis saying he's here for the long haul and if we don't get what we want first time every time he'll keep plugging away at it.

| And I liked Powell saying he thought it was a good fit at Wakefield for him and he likes to build something rather than just keep a top team top.

Yes and that’s the important bit because must not underestimate the championship. There are some great clubs striving for what we are and it is not be a foregone conclusion that we will top the league !!!

| Hope they don't have a pack of cards in the new players area! Last thing we want is another 'Pokergate'.
