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
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.
