I take it that's a dig because we've signed Grix and Wood. Ateotd they were both part of a side that were up to last year Top 4. You must see that Grix is here to back up Jowitt and can cover a few positions and Wood's a handy hooker and can cover the half backs. There's hardly a cue of quality British SL hookers ready to pick from and we still don't know what's going in with Moore, although it doesn't look good.

It's been announced he's signed for Cronulla.

Tony 'T-Rex' Williams; he's a massive lump of a player (6ft 4, 18.5 stone) who can, when he's in the mood, be destructive; but recently he's been out of form/injured, and finished the 2016 season playing in the NRL's lower level competition.

I would Simon to stay. Very valuable in my opinion to us. He would be a big loss.

CC recorded in today's League Weekly as being after four more forwards.

Can anyone put on the link for that?

Wouldn't read to much into what LW reports as they seem to have given up any pretence of being an accurate reporter of events. Seem to pick most of their stories straight off these forums.

true, but even the most optimistic of Wakey fans wouldn't say there was much chance of 4 new forwards, maybe 2. If there's a direct quote from CC in the LW I may believe it. Maybe A Tupou isn't coming back and retiring, who knows atm.

Has mitch allgood been announced?

No mate. Fifta ended up staying and thus filled our overseas quota up of 7.

That is unless of course a quota player is on is way out.

Cant honestly see us been after that many.

A prop, second row and maybe a hooker and I think that will be it.

You won't even get that - two more signings tops.

We could really do to sign some players to beef up the defence. I'm thinking a strong tackling second row forward/loose forward to put some pressure on the opposition runners and make them think twice about running it in. Only really big hit I recall last season was from Ben Harrison.

We already have that in Sio who is a brilliant defensive 13, I don't get this panic give the players we have a chance first and if we find issues then delve into the transfer market - with out budget we simply can't cover every base you just have to accept that.

is ben harrison with us next year?
