Agreed, so out of our average players, hadley wouldnt be in my 17. I liked having pritchard on the bench personnally, agree he wasnt always fantastic, but felt his presence made a differance, and I felt happy having him there, cant see any bench filling me with confidence this year. Possibly mini on the bench as someone suggested would work

Who else is average and would go in his place? I'd have Hadley starting with Washbrook, Mini and two props on the bench at least while the weather is shiite

Presuming radford goes, watts, taylor, mini, manu, ellis, then bench, thompson, washbrook, green, bowden. Dont think that bench will worry to many teams, maybe swap thompson or washbrook with connor to give us more options, even michaels or carlos, depending how radford goes. Hadley obviously going to get plenty of game time, just hope I see what the rest of you do, because im obviously missing something. Or maybe not, remember having the same discussion about westerman for sooo long, having to defend houghton when some off you wanted rid or at least wouldnt mind if he left

Two weak links in the FC team most keep posting - Id rather see Conner for Tuimavave and Turgut for Hadley

Right now, Hadley over Turgut is a no-brainer unless Hadley has dropped off badly and the other started pulling up trees.
5-6 games in, maybe, or even if injuries crop up early, as we know Radford absolutely has to rotate the forwards much more even if that theoretically 'weakens' the 17.
I also don't get the beef on Thompson, as I said previously, he came to as a utility back, played centre for Cas quite a bit and is now playing a pseudo prop role. He's nimble and can still do some minutes despite being asked to tackle down the middle. Yes he's missed some tackles but you're asking a lightweight forward that was a back not too long ago to mix it in the middle, make tackle busts and tackle the big boys and does a pretty good job of it too, not perfect but more than decent enough.
Honestly don't know what else you expect of a player that isn't in the upper echelons of the salary ladder and isn't touted as one of our best.
unless he goes right off the boil and/or one of the youngsters can do 500 tackles/32 tackle busts a season I'd definitely keep him for another contract.

My thoughts exactly!!

.... there are around 20 matches of RL every weekend.
In the last 10 weeks of last season there were 20+ games played in total, in pretty decent weather conditions if my memory serves me well.

Last of the big spenders.
Booked a twin room for Sunday night in the Citilodge Wakey town centre for 29 quid.
The Ritz?
I think not!

You can have the floor space between the twin beds if that'll help?

Dave, Kings arms at Heath Common or Fenandes brewery tap, Kirkgate. Magnificent boozers.

I am assuming there will be some cash turnstiles?

I dont think there will be any cash turnstiles. Stopped them all last season.

You can buy a ticket on the day from the little ticket booth on doncaster road, but leave extra time if this is your plan as it could be busy!

I Would definitely suggest getting a ticket in advance for The game, much less faffing about.

Familiar with 6 Chimneys as have used that as a starting out point previously.
Will give the other two you mention a shot as well.
Cheers.

Bought and printed my ticket of Wakefield's website, similar set up to our own and easy.
