Less than 10 players from England who play NRL. The standard over there is that good that a lot of times players of a good standard have to choose to play superleague.

If Williams isn't staying beyond this year, and we go with 3 halves for next years squad, are there any reserve graders available tbat play in the halves, that would make the same impact as Randell did tonight.

The trio of two class halves and hooker, could take our attack to the next level.

I couldn't go tonight but what a treat to see the score grow by the minute as I sat having an evening beer in Beverley...this is a team the like of which we haven't seen playing for Wakefield in a long, long time. Up the Trin!

got to be happy with that!!!!!!!!!great debut and egg on my fave

Talk about hitting the ground running !
As far as debut's go, that was right up there.
I have to mention England's stint in the first half, just awesome. Big minutes, big carries and great defence.
The work put in by England and the rest of the pack in the first half won us the game and Randell's two tries just put the icing and cherry on the cake.
Magnificent team effort and very few errors, excellent

Listened to Randells post match interview he commented how the game here is about attacking where in Oz more focus is on defence. This is a reason why our game suits some overseas players and lets them express their game better to their strengths. Hopefully like Parcell at Leeds Randell will thrive in our game and for Trin

And a great following last night well done to all who made the trip over I feel for the die hard Salford fans it must be depressing to see that sort of Support.

This is the statement that sums up the difference in what people see in players.
Watched Segeyaro when he was a Penrith and he looked OK, he comes over here and transforms Leeds with his ability to play long minutes and his skill with the ball in hand. He's gone back down under and is playing interchange off the bench.
James Roby has been doing this for years,Josh Hodgson is doing it in the NRL.
The difference in the two competitions is worlds apart.

We'll never know of course but I wonder if the crowds would have been different if they'd stayed at the Willows.
I like the new stadium so it can only be location that puts them off. The team are entertaining and the chairman keeps giving freeby tickets away so it's not expense.
I can't say I liked the area the old ground was in, but the ground itself was a traditional old ground and probably better than ours. I seem to remember the away dressing room was like a shoe box though so I'm sure the away teams prefer the new one too.

The trick is to have a coach that can spot them. Plenty of overseas players have come over looking great in Oz and not so hot over here. It's great to have Chester as he seems to really be able to spot players and then also develop them.

Must admit CC has a knack of identifying quality players just under the radar.

Saw both of his tries (along with all of the others) on Sky after the St's v Wigan game last night and he looks pretty sharp, so far

Struggling to find any more match highlights, though

I think it's a mix between CC and JK.

I don't know obviously but if you look at who we've signed this season I reckon I could pinpoint the Kear signings versus the Chester ones though CC clearly has the final say.

I'd say Grix, Huby, Hirst and Wood are all JK hidden gems. He has a great knowledge of these local players most of whom have been written off.

MBC, Hadley, Allgood, Williams, Hasson, and now Randell where more likely CC. More of a mixed bag but that's the nature of overseas players in particular - all told though a good effort.

Further to my comments last night regarding reserve graders in the NRL.

I had a look on the Zero Tackle NRL site earlier, as you can see players listed that are off contract.

There are quite a few halves out there, but the vast majority were either very young, with limited game time or the opposite end of the scale.

There was one though, however, that was mentioned, and was discussed on here last year, at the time of us being linked with Sam Williams. That player is Luke Kelly, and I think the comments about him were quite positive.

Looking at his NRL stats, such as appearences are very similar to that of Randell.

One other, though at 26 and 130+ games in the NRL, is Tyrone Roberts. He could well have been a team mate of Tyler at Newcastle.
