Thought he came across as a genuine guy. Has done voluntary work in Rwanda, wanting to give something back.

Last week Justin took time out to speak with a group of the regions most promising young players, he was inspiring yet frank and grounded about a career as a RL pro. He delivered some of the most relevant and thoughtful advice to the boys in the room that anyone could have imagined.

Richard Mathers was very much the same which was no suprise to me as I've seen him do it before with organised groups as well as unselfishly spending his own time to help individuals on the spur of the moment.

Well for me he has just had his best games at home Catalans and Wigan and set the tempo from the off in both games and that had the rest giving it a good go.For me I would like him to stay as Im sure after his first year here he would be well settled in and we could see with the rest of the forwards we have now a pack that can match any side.

At the Audience With at Carlton Agar rubbished talk of Justin leaving and said that we were looking to extend his contract. If that is also what Justin says then I think we should accept that and let this go.

As a player I feel that Justin in top notch. He's big, tough, hard working, hits hard, makes metres and draws tacklers in - that's his job as I understand it. He also seems like an intelligent, well-rounded person.

I agree TRB, Justin is a Wildcat.
Players Larking about, nowt to be concerned about.

Justin Poore had a great game against Wigan, not afraid to mix it with their pack or any pack I've seen so far.
I see him as the cornerstone of the pack, hopefully for quite a while. He likes to go where it hurts and that's what you need - an example for the younger players.
Hopefully the penalties will diminish but after the last game he has gone up in my estimation.

He takes a large amount of sting out of the opposition defense.
I'm certain the others find it easier being number 2 drive when he took number one.

I also like the fact that Agar is building a team of intelligent players. Sometimes you need a group that will run through brick walls but its good to have thinkers too.
With Poore, Time Smith, Mathers, Ali, Aition you have some clever guys. I'm sure others I haven't met are the same. I think it makes a difference to the team.

Interesting piece about him on Boots n All last night; he seems genuinely upset at the reputation he seems to have developed over here for being a tough guy. Boxing Day was the first sending off of his career!

The footage of the Farrell incident was shown again and reminded me what a ridiculous sending off that was - Farrell had his way with Justin for a sustained period before he retaliated - if the ref had dealt with that, he wouldn't have ended up on his backside.

.............but a great punch. Love watching it.

Without condoning this sort of fisticuffs in any way of course, I love a guy who stands up for himself. No one seemed keen to keep it going.

Top bloke and it's great that he wants to stay at Wakefield !

He's the fire in the engine room as I like to say. He leads the pack, doing all the hardwork and sets the limits for the other forwards. When our pack play, our team play.

Shame he didn't get into the Exiles team.

He'd probably have got injured - its the type of thing that happens to Trin

Spoke to him today in Costa Coffee in Trinity Walk - lovely bloke, loving Wakey and enjoying the sunshine.

It was a bit odd - Justin was there with Paul Aiton, whilst 3 or 4 of the Bradford squad were sat at another table; I guess it does them good to sample the delights of a more upmarket city!
