Yes

But maybe his agent doesn't take as much as Kaye's Al

Keep a winning team as it is for this weekend except for Collis unless injuries but when he's settled in its got to be Owen at 2 and Riley at 5 with Fox out on loan to the championship?

Regardless of whatever you think od the lad he has signed so we should at least get behind him, not to forget this adds a bit more competition in the backs which can only be a good thing.

British, 24-proven in Super League and can score tries. Not in bad form and with a point to prove will be trying to impress. What's not to like. Good signing and in area where we need strengthening. Works for me.

How am I over rating him, I said he was highly regarded at both Doncaster and Leigh, which he is.
I said he'd handled everything SL had thrown at him and had done so with aplomb, which he did.

You may not have mentioned him before he scored against Cas but don't try speaking for everyone, I for one knew quite a bit about him both as a junior and as a Doncaster player.

Owen doesn't have a greater RL pedigree that's just you building a case, he does have more experience though I'll admit that. What Kaye has that Owen doesn't is unknown potential, we don't know yet how good he could be.Owen on the other hand is a known quantity and fits the description I gave in my earlier post.

Well done on trying to claim some kind of knowledge based higher ground with your "anyone who knows RL would tell you that" comment but I'll back my judgement thank you and although I don't know you I'd trust my judgement over yours based on your posts.

How can u say Owen is a known quantity when he is only 24.he is still young and learning so as still got unknown potential just like kaye

Owen is past it!

Not shown anything since he left Liverpool, years ago!

I am sorry but did you think before you posted this because I am fairly certain based on the number of games played in SL his qualities are known. I agree we are all learning even me and I am over 50.
In respect of Kaye I do not know a lot about him but if he has potential then why wasn't he signed by another SL club. I guess his potential is still unclear but let's see how his future career path develops once his contract expires at Leigh. We will then have a better idea if we made a mistake in not paying him what his agent believed he was worth.

Not really, he's played over 100 games for Cas whereas Kay played only two for us. The only thing he's learning is that he can no longer drink over the festive period.

So, welcome on board Richard Owen. Hope you have a great career at Wakefield.

I hope he sees Wakefield as a way of resurrection his career and fixing his off field issues. Both the Santa incident and his confidence afterhis injury.
Cockayne is a good example to follow to Wakefield. He made the best of his time here after a bad time elsewhere.

Well we'll have to beg to differ. I wasn't referring to myself by the way, it's some of the people I know who "know" RL and it's when I speak to them I realise how little most posters on this forum know, including me - so son't take it to heart.

Owen will a good signing if he's managed well.

it was you who said Kaye as unknown potential wich Owen asnt so because he as played over 100 games that means he as no unknown potential he is just going to play the same all is career
