Always rated hankinson. Longstaff has left too

Hankinso going to Salford apparently to replace Ken Sio

Of the two Longstaff could be an option but that says outside of rugby I think.

Interesting.
I like the idea of bringing in a big signing further into the season.

Think we’ll wait to see who falls out of the NRL or even over here, £100k is a handy salary nearly $200k Aus dollars. See what happens.

Indeed. Will work if we build a team that can give him the ball

I thought he said he wouldn't play for us again?

Johnstone on one wing,
Walmsley on the other wing.

Would Johnstone want to come back? Surely Catalan would want to keep him.

Perhaps he wants to start a bidding war between clubs, he could make a fair bit of money that way, remember no smoke without a fire.

The home grown marquee rule certainly gives Wakefield a massive advantage regarding the salary cap restrictions.

Lets just concentrate on getting promoted first....

If we are going for a marquee like TJ in 2025, I'm thinking we'll think bigger than Walmsley.

I wouldn’t resign Johnstone unless I knew we were signing a world class centre to play inside him

Why? Most of his tries were because of his individual class not his centre.

Because time and injuries has dimmed his ability to score try’s like the special one he scored vs Hudds a few seasons ago. He specialises in finishing opportunities now, he’s the best in the world at it, so we need to have someone inside him who can create those opportunities or it’s not worth the Marquee wage we’ll have to pay him.

I'd say Jowitt provided more assists than his centre.

Be great to see TJ back but he would be 30 by the time his contract is up.
I hope we are also keeping an eye on how Murphy is progressing. Because plenty of young English players go down under and it doesn't always work out . If he is over his injury and decides to return to UK after a season or two, for various reasons I would prefer him over TJ

And Jowitt will still be here but if we’re going to pay marquee wages for a winger I’d like us to have a quality “wingers” Centre inside him to ensure we get value for money

We had this thread a few weeks ago and I trawled through a load of videos to confirm that Keighran didn't provide a glut of tries for TJ's competition winning total. His scores from passes had varied providers and quite a few came from following up kicks.

I don’t remember him saying anything bad about his time at Wakefield plus I am sure he is in contact with current players so will understand what being at Trinity now means.

Think a fast spine should be the first thing to sort out ,if we are going to challenge for a top 6 place That is why Leigh had a great season

That season of Bill Tupou and Johnstone on the edge was unstoppable.

Said the same and got shot down ,fans were saying Tupou was not a . The good problem at that time was we had 2 wingers and two centres who could go 80 yard because of speed ,.When I said we were short of speed before last season started ,got shot down fans saying S L is not about speed, So why are we in the Championship
