Her statement suggested we were just looking to fill the half back position to complete our squad which she hoped would be Smith. No mention of looking to add to any other part of our squad.

I think the whole of Wakefield hopes it's Tim Smith, without him we're a struggling team again!

Let's not forget Kath is saying this with all knowledge inside the club. There may be 3 or 4 more players signings complete which are still yet to be announced by the club.

If they have made further signings what is the point in withholding the names, it does not make fiscal sense because signings help sell season tickets.

Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "League Express "our squad is nearly complete" and don't forget that did not take into consideration Smith or Owen.'"


Our squad is nearly completet isn't it. There's probably maybe 2 or 3 at best permanent signings to come and Webster says he's looking for a couple of loan deals.

The squads around the 22 mark with 2 of thosse going out on loan and that's without Smith and Owen. If we get like what I said above plus some U19 contracts, we'll be about were Webster wants to be. The thing is going to be the quality of those to come. Webster says he wanted quality over quantity, so if it is TS and another couple of SL players and a couple of decent loan players, I dont think we'll be too bad at all, we'll see.

If non of the above happen I'd be worried but for me it's far too early for that.

As for announcing, the season still hasn't ended, there could be a myriad of reasons why the Club haven't announced signings yet.

If I was short sighted I could become a referee!:



In comparing the 2014 squad with the 2015 squad the most important difference is not the players but the coach.A good coach can get winning performances out of average players and i think we have a good one at last. Just look at Widnes .It took a while but Kevin Brown excepted it is a bunch of average players who have made the top 8. I think
we can do the same next season but we desperately
need Tim Smith as our version of Brown.

Is it really as simple as that? Maybe initial sales on season tickets are still yet to die down, it`s called drip feeding good news - And that's what keeps people interested and keeps a constant flow of sales.

Plus there is agreements in place between clubs on when they announce such signings, for instance if we sign a player from another SL club they may want there replacement sealed to announce the day after, So there season ticket sales are not effected?

Article in League Express says we are hoping to sign Smith, but Webster is currently in Australia "taking soundings there just in case".

Good to see in the same article as Tim Smith getting signed up on TotalRL, that Webster acknowledge's that we are a little light in the backs and are looking to bring one possibly two players in but nothing concrete to report yet.
And that the players that went for surgery barring Trout, should be good to go for pre-season.

If Danny Kirmond has been fixed and rehabilitated, that'll be like a new signing; and I hear from a good source that Scruton came to us with a badly busted hand but delayed having it fixed so he could be available for selection - got a bollocking from his surgeon as a result.

If both are fit and firing on all cylinders, they'll be like different players.

There is a player coming off contract at St.George that looks like he could be our sort of player, Nathan Green!

Isn't our overseas quota full? No money so think it'd be a bargain back from UK possibly?

Thought Owen signing would be announced?
