Nice to Sam at Wakefield again. Might i add its the best rugby league ive seen Sam play under RA. It will be great to see him pull the Wakey shirt on once again .

obst to be announced - 100%
its now becoming a joke the amount of Hookers & Half backs in the squad and is also crystal clear under Agar there will be no youngsters anywhere near first team. How many players do we need in these positions.

To be fair i think we are a bit thin at full back wing and centre, so there is chance for a good young un to get a chance certainly there at some time.

Pictures were removed after someone I know tweeted glover asking if James was our next big signing. Within 30 mins the pics had vanished

Always liked Obst but got to agree that if he signs again it is a waste of a spot in the team as we have more than adequate cover in these areas, especially as the money could be used for a prop.

I still think Tongia will be here from what I hear.

We will have a lot of overseas players if Obst and Tongia do sign.

Yes too many IMO and whilst the team obviously needed strengthening from last year, to me it is a backwards step plus blocking the path to the first team for some of the younger players as well.

Mind you there are no doubt floating supporters out there who wont be too concerned about what nationality players are, as long as the team is winning.

I hope you're right. I also hope it's at the expense of Obst.

collis and tongia both played with tim smith at cronulla and in his interview he said he knew some of the boys that are coming over...

I rate Sam O and always have. But why do we need him when we have Matt W who is primarily a 7 who has done time (SL) at 9? For me our overseas players should be Southern, Ali, Collis, Mellars, Smith and John only. The surplus money should be spent on Mathers/Smith style players or 2nd team Trin players. We could draw a line in the sand and look to promote the youth or spend more cash on released young uns (ie Gledhill) before they go. I remember the feel good factor when Kear in the early days gave loads of chances to potentially risky English players and a lot came off. It felt good then and could do if we gave the backing to Walshaw Cowling etc or carefully selected projects. Granted most might not come off (there is always a risk with a junior or a project) , but we cant be half as bad as last year looking at the solid players we have got in the squad now. Potentially add Dowes and there is more experience to mix the likes of walshaw with.
