In time this could turn out to be a massive signing, if he turns out to be as good as his dad was, on his day he was world class.

that's fine but how do you go about keeping him here at Belle View if that was the case

bound to get the interest of the top teams

By the time he's one of our first choice half backs and has made a SL name for himself, who says we wont be a top team who can keep hold of our prized assets?

We keep turning up in our thousands wearing this year's Trin shirt (with an away shirt around your arm) buying a pie and a pint and putting Wakefield on something of a similar footing as the 'cheque clubs".

A pie and a pint? You can drink and eat at the same time? Hat's off to you my man.

Has there been an announcement that he has signed for us. I havent seen anything on the website or twitter.

Not official as such but he tweeted yesterday 'First day done at Wakey today',think that says enough.

Hope he turns out to be as good as his old man and good luck to him.
I would imagine his development has still a long way to go before he is good enough for SL, so lets try and not build him up too much and too quickly on here etc.
One word of caution for those who have never seen him play and are already elevating him to a potential god, his employers (who have seen a lot of him) have let him go, a name isn't everything; a bit like 20 stone aussie props!!

LOL who's elevated him to a potential god already, only thing I've heard about him is that he was good in Warrington's U20's and played age group for England. Don't see why there's a need for a word of caution tbh all anyone knows is we've got a potentially good player, who was behind about 3 or 4 others at Warrington and the changes in the U20's have caused quite a few good young players to move clubs just like a few of ours at Trinity.

How many other U20 signings have we made that have got two threads and mentions on a few others?
Just saying thats all.

Tbf Reece Lyne's thread went for 8 pages but I think because we haven't made many signings and it's the off season people will hype it up a bit.

I agree with your comments. He's a name at the moment although seems to have potential written all over him.That said, I've lost count of the number of junior players emerging who just can't make the step up to first team level, despite being awsome at lower level. In fact, for WTW the only one to come along who you knew would make it at higher level was Nigel Wright (In relatively recent years). I know we've had such as Gareth Ellis and Ben Westwood at Belle Vue but they weren't instant hits and had to mature.
If he's as good as Nigel Wright then we'll be very lucky!
