Players will always sign for us whether as a stepping stone or a change of scenery, the hard bit is bringing on board players that will enhance our squad and not just because they are available. I’m sure when some of our quality overseas players signed we weren’t breaking any pots and haven’t done apart from the odd season here and there for donkeys years now ,but we’ve still managed to get quality on board ,and obviously have also attracted the wrong type ,which for some reason stick in my memories more than the quality that have been through the club.Yes the big clubs get the pick of the crop but there are always those nuggets that get left behind and looking for a fresh start . Maybe it’s the best thing to have a big clear out ,clear the decks and start to build again ,because it’s plain for all to see that we are carrying more than our fair share of deadwood and has beens .Emotions can’t come into it about player departures as if the unthinkable happened they’ve all just leave anyway ,so me me it’s best for us to have those difficult conversations with players instead of them being in the driving seat .onwards and upwards it’s the only way .

I agree with what you say, however there are certain players always on the radar of the perceived bigger clubs who I'm sure will have contingency plans in place for such an event, example if true Lino and Tanginoa are in the sights of Wigan and Warrington, I can't believe they won't find room to accommodate the said players.

Dudson might not be everybody's cup of tea but he's the sort that would make yards for you and have a bit of biff.

The club fails to move forward in the transfer, the present crop of Recruitment's have been poor with one exception.
Players need to see a progression of quality recruitment and to suggest we need to keep hold of Tom and build round him never happened. In my view we have let Tom down and the same will go for the present crop of promising youngster's if the club do not get their finger out.
Just what's the point of having a good solid crop of youngsters to end up relegated.

We are a long way from being relegated at this moment in time ,and I’m sure work will be going in in the background to sort our lacklustre performances ,whether by loan players or the hair dryer treatment on the current crop . Poor recruiting by the people involved have let Johnstone down certainly not the fans .IMO the current lack of performances by the first team has only given the fringe players their chance to shine and cement a place, just looking at young Bowes for my mind he should get the staring line up every time ,aided and abetted by Kaye .plenty of opportunities going forwards for players young and old who want to play for wakefield without all the doom & gloom at present ,those that don’t need to be shown the door in no uncertain terms .

You can play inexperienced players in a team but to be successful they need to have a good squad around them. This is why it works at Wigan and St Helens who bring in academy players who do not look out of place.
We currently do not have this luxury because sadly many of the academy team are better than our older players. It’s ok to play maybe one or two but we are nowhere near good enough or strong enough to rely on them for every game. I think we can all agree the majority of our recruits this season have been no better than those we let go and let’s not forget there were more left than brought in.
We were once seen to be on the up which encouraged players to sign for us but sadly over the last few years we have just bounced along the bottom. The crowd numbers are stagnant and if we do survive who will sign for us to generate interest especially if we start to lose our out of contract players, especially the ones than can be considered box office.
If we are not careful we will sleep walk into relegation and having to start again but in a redeveloped stadium.

Agree if above happens we are in the brown stuff big time.

Rumours Warrington are bringing in 3 prop signings and Mike Cooper hasn’t had his contract renewed. He’d be a good signing possibly alongside Dudson.

Agree the recruits have been well mediocre to be kind and god awful to be blunt , but I’m still of the opinion that this team although no world beaters is good enough to see us through this season and onto pastures new going forwards . Poaching needs to give em the rounds of the kitchen as to their performance and attitude of late . If some of our so called stars think by playing like they do will get the a gig at another club they are living on cloud cuckoo , even the top tear of the championship would turn their nose up at them .

I think Warrington are the biggest indicator of if you don’t have the fire power up front, it doesn’t matter who you have behind them, they simply won’t lay the platforms for any play.

In fairness to W Poaching he as been left with a ageing team even most the imports are getting past there best .Think it is a case of hope W Poaching can keep them fit enough to get 2 or 3 wins
