Quote: W.T.W "I think we can expect the announcements of Mitch Allgood and Ben Harrison in the very near future.
Both good additions and the "no nonsense" type of players we need.

Personally I think the Andrew Fifita rumour is just a publicity stunt and he will stay in Australia and had no intentions of even coming to Super League, let alone Wakefield. .

With front rowers of;
David Fifita, Anthony England, Keegan Hirst, Mitch Allgood, Anthony Walker, Tinirau Arona, Chris Annakin, Jordan Crowther?, & Frazer Morris.
Ben Harrison is a loose I believe, but is certainly a big lad so will add impact there.

I still think we need another experience prop - hopefully Craig Huby.

Rumours that Anthony Tupou is now back in Wakefield - although interest from Newcastle Knights - which may put the Dale Ferguson rumour bed.
Can only see Fergie coming if Tupou left.'"


If I were marking your work I'd have to give a six out of ten for that. Some glaring errors I'm afraid.

Anakin and Crowther are second rowers.

Ben Harrison is primarily a prop these days, occasionally a SR but as far as I'm aware not a L/F anymore. I know what it says on Wiki but if you read it his preferred position is Prop which at 28 seems logical.

The Ferguson signing has nothing to do with Tupou leaving it's Allgood who needs the quota spot.

You're probably right about Andrew Fifita.

I'd agree Annakin's natural position is second row but he's played most of his first team rugby for us as a prop off the bench.

Annakin. Is too small for. Prop.... Would make a decent back rower...

Can't remember who started all this Anakin prop thing. The kid was always loose forward in his barn storming academy days. He has a bit of pace and is a strong finisher and his best asset was always backing up breaks or running at gaps out wide.

Sarcasm. icon_rolleyes.gif

As for Annakin. I know, as do the fans, he's too small for prop. But where has he played most of his first team rugby? - Prop.

Jordan Crowther. I put an '?' Next to as a possibility. (Purely for the size of him!)
For what it's worth I've watched him in the academy and first team and I think he's a Loose.

Ben Harrison played loose for us when he came on loan. And his last year he played at Wire. He also played loose.
Either way. These days we tend to play a 'third prop' if you like at loose.
E.g. Arona last year.

As for the Ferguson/Tupou ... the only reason I said that is due to the amount of backrowers we seem to be acquiring.
Kirmond, Ashurst, Molloy, Tupou, Batchelor, Annakin & Crowther (as you stated)

On Allgood - Someone mentioned he may be eligible for England due to his Father? (No idea if this is true or not, hopefully someone can shed some light on it?)

Glad we agree on something In Fifita! icon_lol.gif

I thought Harrison played 2015 at Wire as mostly interchange Prop, might be wrong mind.

Agree on the amount of backrowers we have and it's a surprise we want another tbh, especially now that Simon has left & we have just 4 out and out Props plus Arona if needed. Last season we started with 6 which is about right imo. Hirst will hopefully make the step up and also Walker should be a better player than last season but they're both a bit of a unknown atm, especially if we need 25+ SL games out of them. It also puts a lot of pressure on England and Fifita's shoulders, to be uninjured and out there each week. Lets hope the Club can get the final players they need to finish the jigsaw puzzle because if we can get some go forward, that back line looks exciting.

I agree.

Think Arona will probably play more games than Walker again next season at prop and he isn't a prop. Great signings so far but IMHO another decent genuine prop is essential to ensure that the team is competitive throughout the year and not playing injured players as in the CC semi final. Jordan Cox still not been announced signed for anyone.

No nothing heard on Jotrdan Cox.

Hes another big unit, again around 6'4" and 18st.

Remember those breaks he made against us at our place earlier thi year.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter how big you are, if you haven't got a big enough ticker behind the rib cage your going nowhere, that's why Annikin would be a top prop if he was bigger and why posters assume it's his position. My self personally think he's second row only and a good one at that.

Perhaps there's a reason no one has signed Jordan Cox, or Ryan Bailey for that matter. They're just not that good.

In our case I suspect it's all hinged on a certain A Tupou

This guy is either going to be immense this year or a massive massive disappointment. There will be no middle ground. He's 33, he's shown signs of real quality without backing it up with serious gametime. I'm backing him to have a great pre season, get some hard work in. Get that fitness level up to what's required and get some smiles on these Trinity fans faces.

Aye, I really hope that the bloke can have one last great season for us and go out in the way he wants and the way we all want to see. Tupou's been a top Pro all his career and I bet he'll be doing everything he can to show us what he can do, I just hope his body lets him have that one last hurrah.
I was watching some games and clips of him about a month ago and the guy had it all, he was a beast. He ran great lines, very powerful and his off load game is world class. It seemed no matter how many players had him wrapped up, the ball would suddenly shoot out to put someone away.
