| Quote: Eastern Wildcat "Thats exactly my point Cheshirecat, he can cover a few positions and is better than Grix and also considerably younger. He is also a very competent goal kicker.
I will also agree with other posters saying he isnt a great player but to be fair didnt get too many opportunities at Warrington. Given that most clubs other side of pennines are higher up the ladder than us with a higher calibre of player, why would they be interested if he is poor.
If we have Miller and Williams in the halves and Jowitt full back, then he would be more back up for those positions but to avoid the burn out situation our players have had this year then it would be worth rotating our squad a bit more so key players remain fresh for longer. I would only do this if the player coming in was good enough so that the first choice players missing are hardly noticed.
To me if it was Grix or Wood coming in I dont think that would happen'"
I'm off to bed now , but your saying clubs this side of the pennines have a better calibre of player than from yorkshire Look at warrington westwood, westerman, Atkins,Linneham or what ever is name is ! Look at wigan Bateman Mcallorum even young Hampshire them two teams have poached loads of young players from yorkshire clubs for years! So were does this better calibre come from.
Leeds and Cas are full of yorkshire lads.

| My point here is 4 teams above us from over the hills and only 2 in Yorkshire.

Not sure how you misconstrued what EW said, you must be tired fella. Obviously he was taking about the overall caliber of player of the teams over the Pennines have on their books, especially at Wigan, Saints and Wire, not where they originated from.

I hope Hull KR do win. They bring good numbers and the Hull derby is a great SL fixture.
Said before Kopzcak would be a ideal signing but he would be a for a few clubs also.

| For the good of the game - HKR; Salford, sadly, have added nothing to SL, other than their clown of an owner dragging the game through the mud at every opportunity.

On Bulls board, some wanting Mullally back, this after loads said he was lazy and unfit when he came to us after being on loan at Bulls. Classic!

You sure you're not thinking of Hudds fans Finger? He was only with us a month at the beginning of 2014 and played very well for us. All Bulls fans were disappointed to see him go back to Hudds.

| out of the Salford team the only player of interest would be Murdoch-masila, been salfords best attacking threat all year and something we've often missed in the forwards this year

Apologies, it was a Shudds fan!

Robert Lui has had some excellent games and is /was a decent tackler with an excellent kicking game.
When Salford were playing well he looked excellent.
Most of their other "top" players now seem to be at Leigh

| Agree with Wrencat about Robert Lui.
He is a class act who would make our backs really tick.
Get him signed!!

Here we go again, why would he sign for us if he's as good as you claim.
Good halfbacks are in short supply so I can imagine half a dozen teams with bigger wallets he'd rather join.
I admire your optimism but we need to be realistic. We know MC is a stickler for sticking to a budget and judging by our attendances that isn't a lot of cash.

He signed for Salford and Wakey are better than them
In fairness, I was putting his name forward as a "quality" Salford player, after others had said that they didn't have any players that we may want.

Good point.
However at a distance Salford with a big cheque book and a new stadium probably look pretty good - you only have to google Belle Vue to spot we are not.
I feel for MC and the staff, selling Wakefield to any player must be a nightmare.

Agreed.
Having Kear back on board should help.
IMHO he is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate blokes involved in the sport and he will be able to sell the "dream" (irony overload there) to youngsters, seasoned pro's and hopefully some decent overseas players.
If/when the ground improvements start, this will be a massive help in all areas and for this we keep everything crossed.

| I would prefer Salford to go down as they would probably end up like the bulls when the Dr leaves . Hull Kr would probably still be full time and more of a threat to superleague sides this time next yr . The middle 8s would be a piece of cake for any superleague side next yr with Salford in the championship . The biggest threat would probably be London playing in some park
