As expected really. Hopefully Matty Russell back this week. Rodwell we can cover as we have 4 perfectly good props in Mckmeeken, Uele, Atoni and Faatilli. Seth we can cover with Vagana and potentially Croft. Again though the concern will be 6. It looks like a loan or bringing someone in isn?t an option. Is shift Pitts back to 13 this week and have Cozza come on from bench. I?d probably rather see Roarke get a go as a running 6 unless Stevenson is in there. Hopefully we find a way to share the kicking duties out more. Maybe bring Max in and put some grubbers through the line towards the sticks and left edges to look for Johnstone and Pratt. I think the forwards will be important in getting us on the front foot hopefully giving the edges space to work with. If Pitts returns to 13 then we can at least see the link up return from Lino > Pitts > Jowitt. Would be brill to win this and be sitting in top 6 with Cas at magic to get into top 4! As mentioned Cats have played Salford twice and Hudds last few games. I?d like to think we will be much sterner opposition for them when we rock up Saturday ready to hopefully take 2 points. |

A lot been said about our depth this year and it?s true we?ve been able to cover all the injuries with some quality replacements, all that is apart from the half back crisis where we?ve not only lost the first choice but the second and third.
It?s also been brought up about the number of players we actually have missing from the starting 13. It?s probably not a true reflection to say it?s in double figures, more like 5 or 6. But even that?s up for debate because who, apart from Powell & Shenton, can actually say what our starting 13 is?
So I?ll have a guess:
1st choice/Back Up
FB. Jowitt/Rourke
RW. Russell/Walmsley
RC. Scott/Hall
LC. Pratt/Croft
LW. Johnstone/Touchambe
SO. Trueman/Russell
SH. Lino/Stephenson
P. McMeeken/Atoni
H. Hood/Doyle/Smith
P. Uele/Rodwell/Fa?atili
RSR. Storton/Griffin
LSR. Nikotomo/Vangana
LF. Pitts/Cozza
If we had to field that second choice team, whilst obviously a bit weaker, I?d still be pretty positive which is testimony to our strong recruitment over the last 18 months

You missed out the wing/centre from Bradford we signed |

I was surprised when Wakefield actually signed Trueman,and especially on marquee money too?This kid hasn't played that many minutes each season for god knows how long now?
Matt Ellis is going to have to sell plenty more kitchens just to cover sicknote Truey's salary and his sick note.
Trueman is a fantastic player without a doubt,But his game time each season is a huge problem,and that is currently Wakefields issue now

Agree completely ,getting shot down for calling him a dud The stand-off is the most important position on the park ,and you need him on the park for a least 20 PLUS games a season . In fairness did say we should stay well clear before we signed him Completely different if a player as given your team 4 or 5 good seasons and is out for a lot of weeks you can expect that but not a new player |

Maybe you are both right but the intention was to get a quality player in and there were limited options.
We clearly thought we could handle his fitness better
The injury itself isn't the same as he's had before so hard to predict.
Hopefully he'll come back now and show us why Powell wanted him.

Yep, and I'd rather wait until the end of the season and see how many games he plays before passing any judgement. |

In fairness did say we should stay well clear before we signed him Completely different if a player as given your team 4 or 5 good seasons and is out for a lot of weeks you can expect that but not a new player Hardly shot down, just a crappy phrase to use about a guy that's injured and only missed what 5 games or so and played 4 so far IMO. As I said, a dud is a bit personal and usually used on players who come for a holiday and don't pull their weight, and we've had a few of those over the years to call out. As I said and others above, why not wait till the end of the season before ripping into an injured player if you feel you must? As I said, we brought him over and did a full medical on him and the injury he had & he was probably the best British half we could get in our position coming up from the Championship. His latest injury is a new one, and DP has said he's expecting him back, so why not wait and see what he does for us this season? If you turn out right, I'd agree he'll have been a poor buy, but that's RL unfortunately sometimes. |

Just to add to the list apparently Myers was playing on one leg in second half for Batley.
Think that takes us potentially back to 9/10 out again. Hopefully a couple back or make the game vs Cas.
