I agree actually Musson.

I don't actually want to see an established NRL player. The "Established" that we can afford would really mean "has been" "free rider"
What we need in my opinion is someone who is young and keen, but has experience of running a team, just at the lower level from NRL.

Ironically Isaac John fitted the bill for me but it didn't quite work out
Captained the lower level NZ side and was successful but not yet established in the main team. So did Godinet, though neither quite hit the mark completely.
Both were nearly there and Godinet was a great player, but not quite the half back general we need.

Something like them at the next stage along would work for me. Maybe an NRL player blocked by a star wanting a shot.

Some valid points on here.

I few months ago, on here, we were linked to both Jamie Soward and Peter Wallace, and I was one of those who would have been in favour of that. I was still in favour of that about 5-6 games in.

Since Chester has come in, both Miller and Finn have gelled, and look like different players altogether. I think Miller is starting to grow into a more all round half back, coming more creative. He is leading our try assists at the moment.

I think now, we would be better suited to one of the younger ones, who hasn't had too much of an opportunity

Cody Walker sort of fits this bill. Has played plenty of lower grade. Held is own in first grade at 5/8 for first few games of season at South's playing behind a beaten pack (don't know how much you could take from that). Has won a player of the year award in lower grades so obviously has some potential. Played at fullback today for South's even though he was named on the wing so he has some versatility too. He's also 26 and an accomplished goal kicker!

I'd be happy if it were him.

I call that prime Wakey lol its really hard for us but some one wanting to prove a point often works for us and that exactly what we need

I really liked Godinet too, I was gutted he went, was good to see him in the Samoan team last week, I thought he was a better hooker though, although I've being nothing but pleased at how Moore has played for us (another player with point to prove)

Isaac John, i think reading about him after he left he was really unhappy over here, some OS players just can't adapt to being so far away from home and it shows on the pitch, clearly the guy has talent,

JK will be involved in the new player process which really excites me
I'm just glad we are playing so well TBH plus things FINALLY seem to have really settled down for us off the pitch too, its a great time to be a wakey fan

We just need the crowds up now, i was gutted more stay away fans didn't see they wire match!

I never said he would however if you think that JK wont be involved in the coaching next year your knowledge of RL is serioulsy lacking

Then it's a recipe for disaster!

Yes I totally agree Kear should have no involvement with coaching thats not his role

Well I think they'll work as a team to be honest, Kear has got a lot of knowledge and experience that CC would be daft not to tap into. Fair play to Chester, we are doing well, but he's still only got about 40 top level games under his belt as a coach. Kear must be getting on for 300.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion,

We've not had many great seasons as Wakey fans, the successful seasons we did have were with JK as our coach

He will be a fantastic DOR though on that I think everyone agrees

no they dont

They'll work as a team but not as a coaching team.
They are doing different jobs that compliment each other.
Not a no. 1 and no. 2.

TBF you wouldn't agree with anything, that's sadly just how you are.

What else would you expect from Victor Meldrew?

Could he have done a job for Trinity until end of season? www.rugby-league.com/article/375 ... ax-on-loan
