Quote: Dr Dreadnought "Interesting times ahead for 'The Faithful '


Seven or eight offers! Think we can safely assume they'll be British or French (with our eight overseas players to fit into seven quota spots). We can also assume Johnstone, McMeeken and Russell are three of the eight offers. Ellis says the others are all out-of-contract at the end of the year, and they're established SL players. So that leaves us with something like:

Full backs
Gareth O'Brien (could offer good cover for Max, but doubt he'd want that)
Ryan Hampshire (I know he has a lot of fans on here, but wouldn't want him back. Can't square up the line, can't defend)

Wingers
Fouad Yaha (only 27, useful in back field, spent time in Hull so would love Wakefield)
Luis Roberts (Not proven as such)
Josh Charnley (Tough one. Obviously in the form of his life but he'll be 33)
Matty Russell (similar to above, think we can do better)

Centres
Mathieu Laguerre (can't see this but would take him)
Cameron Scott (rumoured - would be a good signing. Good athlete, plenty of improvement in him)
Zak Hardaker (please no)
Ben Hellewell (would prefer to see Joe Law et al)
Ben Davies (good player, not playing anywhere near enough at Saints so might look elsewhere)
Stefan Ratchford (can;t see it)

Halves
Danny Richardson
Jordan Abdull (not actually sure on this one, could just be that he's at the end of his loan. What a signing that would be.)
Marc Sneyd
Lewis Dodd (sure he'll re-sign at Saints)
Jon Bennison (same)

Hookers
Adam Milner
Amir Borouh

Back rowers
Alex Mellor (not a bad replacement for Ashurst. Good player, often injured)
Sam Hewitt
James Donaldson
Jack Hughes
Oliver Holmes

Middles
Matty Storton (rumoured)
Joe Cator (would definitely take him if fit)
Jack Brown
Yusuf Aydin (why not)
Matt Davis
Ollie Partington (Again, would take him)
Adam Sidlow
Andrew Dixon
Gil Dudson
Mike Cooper
And about 15 London players, though with respect I don't think we'll go there

So if those offers are McMeeken, Johnstone, Russell, Storton, Scott, who are the other two or three? Exciting times indeed.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.:



Quote: jonh "If we retain Thornley it has to be as backup.

His body has proven year after year it’s not up to playing in SL and at his age that isn’t going to change.

Don’t get me wrong he’s been and still is a good player but he can’t be relied on to give us value in SL.'"


He would however offer very good quality rotation and squad depth when required.

Still have to pinch myself at times only 12 months ago we were the leagues patsy and basically hull kr plundered our squad, never thought I’d see tj playing in a Wakefield jersey again. We are signing players from clubs that actually want to keep them. Its a hell of a jump to being a mid table super league team but we’ve come a long way in a very short space of time

I'm the same.
Though to be honest we've never been a mid table team.
We were a bottom half team who occasionally managed to get to the top of the bottom half group but was mostly lower down.

I know we are aiming for playoffs etc but for me, confidently being around 6-7 is a good target.
We are not going to instantly win everything in SL but I'd like to consistently compete to do so.

That's how I see it as well. However, I don't think we could complain if we ended up with Pratt, Thornley, Hall and Scott next year. We'd have plenty of depth and it would allow us to manage Thornley's game time.
