Should Blaymire fall in form we have either Veivers waiting in the wings or push Smurf to FB and bring Mort on the wing.
James Davey should also be training his nad's off to be biting at the heels for a place in either the half back role or hooker.
I think any player I've highlighted in blue should be especially wary of picking up injuries or fall off form.

For me we still need another scrum half. Which would give us more options of having Smith to cover hooker if needed and insure Ben has a rocket up his rear all year in the knowledge he can't let his game down for a second. That might bring out the best in him- Because as we know all too well; when he's on form he's brilliant. We all saw him make Trent Barrett look like the COOP cart horse FFS.....

so we sign numerous BRITISH players and not play them makes perfect wakefield sense to me. the money could of gone elsewhere

renaldi will play

I think he will too, but that would be the side I would go with. To be honest, it's a toss up between Rinaldi and Smith for me.

id put motu tony on the bench as a back up hooker tbh, thats were he was a nz international player and will come and add a bit of speed and impact from the bench but with motu you get great versitility and hes coverd fullback/wing plenty of times and done a great job. personally going by that squad i think you may struggle tbh but wakey in the past have always suprised people and it woundt suprise me if you make the 8 good luck anyway and i hope kear puts faith in the young english players

my prediction... but maybe not at he start of the season

Vievers, Millard, Murphy, Parker, Penny, Howarth, Obst, King, Lee, Gledhill, Ferguson, Johnson, Morrison... subs; Moore, Motu, Mariano, Annakin

Why have a coupple of you put Howarth as a halfback? He is a loose forward.

probably cause they know naff all

with adam slater and jordan greyson pushing for a run out.
just gone to make the backs as strong as poss

Now I know why you have been up all night, is Blaymire injured?

Kear out, Moxon in

no chance. i like gledhill but the lad is not big enough yet. not enough aggression was knocked backwards in every clash against saints last season and didn't fair much better in the other games i watched him play . charlie has gone for certain but will be replaced soon
