| Quote east hull FC fan="east hull FC fan"My point was that you said Danny Tickle was [imuch[/i better in attack than Tuson, I said he wasn't, now you've just said neither of them are that good in attack. Which was what I'd thought, I never said Tuson was an attacking 2nd rower.
What's different in Tuson when compared to Westerman, Whiting and Pitts is the aggression that he puts into everything he does. Everything is 100% with a mean nice bloke face, he won't take a step back. Aggression is something our pack lacks.'"
Ok, maybe much was too far, but I still think tickle offers more in attack than Tuson.
I just feel we need an attacking 2nd row and we haven't got one. For me you described Ellis, whiting and Westerman.
The best chance we have is to use Westerman out wide more.

You'll get no disagreement from me on that.

| Quote Panda92="Panda92"
I do have a lot of concern for our front row, though. O'Meley was one of our toughest players who never took a backwards step and I don't think that we've yet found a replacement for that, nor have we for Lynch's big shift in defense. '"
Paea is easily O'Meleys replacement. Feka is Lynch's.
To my mind, they are both improvements. Lynch suffered 'second-season syndrome'. O'Meley's body was hammered, so if we had got another season out of him, it wouldn't have been much.

As it stands I cant see how Feka is an improvement on Lynch, while Lynch wasnt as good as his first season, he certainly wasn't as poor as people made out, his Stats are still very impressive and he finished the season strongly.
I actually think Chris Green is the player to step into Lynch shoes and Feka is an addition.
Paea is a better player than O Meley though.
If Feka turns out to be a diaster, then we are only left with Watts and Paea as experienced props, so I would still like us to add another prop.
I would look at would be Scruton, Poore or Huby.

We need another prop regardless. But with the poster saying move PJ to the back row. We'll then need two prop.

| He's an OK player but we really needed another experienced prop. Johnson is too small, Bowden and green I'm not sure will really ever reach the required standard.

Agree with this.
What makes me laugh is how massively underrated people are saying he is. He was signing for wakey for a reason . If we had got him instead of Thompson then great but both leaves us too many back rows and stifling our own youth the very thing we are trying to promote!

Hes a dependable player but has had a few injuries this year he knew at wigan he would not be first choice and wants to start every week, good luck to him

| The only thing I have ever really noticed Tuson do is the fight against Saints at the Magic Weekend a couple of years back. Dont know if that is me being ignorant, or him not really doing anything that stands out

This.
He clearly wouldn't leave Wigan unless he knows that first team rugby will be limited next season. His "offer" from Wigan must be a fantastic one if Wakefield were able to gazump it.

| Didn't we have to put up with hearing about Eamon O'Carroll bringing Wigans winning culture with him too?? Look how that turned out.
Decent signing but the spin does my nut in.

| Quote Liam666="Liam666"He had but they have already sold 2 players under contract, this being the third, don't know if there was a fee or because he hasn't played for Wakefield that hes been allowed to move with out cost?'"
Correction, Wakefield had every right to force Chris Tuson to honour his contract but the change in ownership and the recent revelations that finances weren't as good as they should meant that Tuson hadn't had the correct facts at hand when deciding to join Trinity.
In light of the much poorer position, New Wakefield Chairman Michael Carter decided that the moraly correct thing to do was to give Tuson the option of walking away.
