| Quote bren2k="bren2k"I haven't seen a tremendous amount of Tansey, but when I have seen him, he does seem to have the ability to back himself and do something unexpected; I've also seen him switch off and dip out of a game for periods of time, which isn't so good.
I heard John Kear talking about 'heads-up rugby league' during his commentary of a CC game this weekend - basically, players having the freedom and skills to just look up and play what's in front of them at that moment - it's a fair way off, but I'd love to see us playing like that; in that kind of entertaining, exciting style of play, mistakes are much more easily forgiven and fans at least feel like they've watched a team that has given it a good go. I guess the difficulty for a coach is teaching players when to play like that, and when to revert to a safer, percentage style of play.
I can't help thinking that with a couple more additions and some time to work with the players, Brian Smith will instil some of that in his team; retaining our SL place is the key of course, so if we win in the 8's, I don't really care how we do it.'"
Bran Smith is a percentage Coach and I suspect a simplified and rigid game plan is the order of the day - whether that works I don't know but I suspect it will in an ugly kind of way.

| It's the transition from one to another that we lack and Locke and Tansey will help with that. They are both great going forward and will add to Godinet's enthusiasm for the break. We have had a season of half breaks that die because there is no "next pass". Even with a rigid team structure, those two players will help us add some flair in those kind of half break situations.

| Spot on Pop Tart. The back line must benefit from Locke and Tansey and I would expect our second pass options have increase greatly. Tim Smith will also be presented with options .

| We are not allowed to post links to video sites or even give instructions of how to do it, so please don't follow this up with anything like that, but I have seen some tribute compilations of Locke's previous performances and I am really excited to see him in a Wakefield shirt.
Clearly Hull will be targeting him but a lot of the magic that he does is all on his own, whether kick returns or stepping through a crowd.
We have a good one there is no doubt, we just need to unlock the magic.

| The prospect of seeing Locke in the red white and blue should excite all Wakey fans. I only wish I could see it live myself. On his day the best F B in S L without doubt.

| Quote bellycouldtackle="bellycouldtackle"In response to Pop Tart am finding it hard to understand how anyone who has watched Anakin play could select Ryan, Kirke, Washbrook, Anderson, Kavangh and Molly ahead of him, Not only is Anakin not in Pop Tarts squad he has also selected Walker ahead of him. Please could his other Mods moderate him as surely opinions such as these have no place on this forum.'"
I would select Washbrook and Molloy ahead of him on recent form. I think as ever you’re being way OTT regarding this player. He’s been found out a few times when he’s played, sorry mate but he isn’t the superstar you think he is - not yet anyway.
He’s got time on his side but don’t over egg it.

| Has Annakin been given a chance in the back row or at 13? Most of the times I've seen him play he's played prop.

You’re obsessed mate, but in the spirit of the forum…..
….OK you win, Anakin is a god.
He’s never missed a tackle in this life, he certainly didn’t get steamrollered by Hansen. He’s faster than Bolt, stronger than Superman and as clever as a bag full of Dolphins. He is the missing link, the 5th Beatle and knows where Lord Lucan is. His bones are made of titanium and he’s frightened of nothing not even big spiders.
He is all things to all men and perhaps one lucky lady.
As for Molloy and Westbrook I say damn those impostors to the sears from wench they came.
Anakin son of Sky Walker and his wife Annie, I salute you.

| Better second quarter than the opening one. Really have to stop letting teams get such a head start before Trinity get into gear.
