| Quote: Diablo1967 "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.

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.

| Tuson will be a good addition for you. Not a player who will propel you into the top 4 but will help you on your way, I'd be playing him at 13 if I was Radford. Think your another prop away from competing/matching some of the other packs in the league.

| Good signing for me. Definate upgrade on Tickle and will hopefully bring a winning attitude with him from Wigan.
In terms of props we have Paea, Feka, Watts, Green, Bowden, Johnson and Pitts. I doubt we'll see Ellis playing there.
Backrow could be Ellis Whiting and Westy with Tuson off the bench.

I still don't see Pitts as a prop, personally. Johnson now gone, too. We must be looking at somebody coming in or Ellis, surely?

Although Pitts has improved this year, he is not a prop, he just doesn’t carry enough weight and has no impact, a bit like Johnson. I would look to offload him early too as we already have an abundance of 2nd Rowers at the club which is the only other position I could see him having a fair crack at. We need another impact forward and it’s so bloody obvious. We also need a replacement for Yeaman too and I’m not sure Arundel will make it to be a top centre. Yeaman has two years left on his contract and that is a concern for me.
