Quote: Dave K. "I'm not convinced Wakefields recruitment is as good as people think, Mcmeeken is a brilliant signing, but not sure about a marquee winger.
Scott, Hall and Storton are OK, both probably squad players at Hull and Rovers.
Russell on a 4 year contract is brilliant work by his agent, very average halfback.
Look at their pivots, Jowett, Lino, Russell, Hood and Pitts, ok they might recruit more and its a positive they are spending, but think people are going a bit over the top on their recruitment.'"
Johnstone is the best winger in the competition and won't count for much on the cap like us with Abdul, Mcmeekan is a brilliant player too and one we should have gone for. I also think Lino is a decent halfback...With Wakey it'll depend on how their overseas recruitment looks to fully see how they'll go for 2025, but if they get that right, I can see them finishing above us
