It is yeah, but to compare the young lads to experienced SL players is a bit daft, well a lot daft in fact.

one of the most overrated players in SL

I agree with the fact on experiance and about the youth thats up and coming but i think we need look at the fact that we need bigger signings, the comparisons i.e southernwood wasnt saying who was the better player but who could do the job to push us on in both the league and the challenge cup! Yes there are some youngsters coming through the ranks that can do the job FRERGY for me is the form second rower in england, the lads come on leaps and bounds and is/(was till injured) our best and most consitent player throughout the squad. I am not one of the forgiener is best group no, looking at the bigger picture we need to blood in as much british talent as possible but we need to attempt to lure some quality maybe even test players who the youngsters can play with and learn off, look at the increase of Hudds, Hull Kr and Cas oven the last couple of year with the mix of a only few overseas signings mixed with the quality of the young blood coming through!!!!

We often see the same complaints on this board and they all centre around one thing;

Money!

Hull KR and Huddersfield have a backer who can afford to bring in top talent (in Huddersfields case, probably at a fair loss with the substantially discounted season tickets) and Castleford have a decent core of support which can be relied upon whereas Wakefield fall short of their average.

The whole reason for share sale is to raise funds for Kear to target quality players to drive the club on from one that punches above it weight for 2/3 of the season to one that can compete for the full campaign.

I think as a club we should be looking to break the reliance on oveseas players ...

there are hundreds of players here in Australia who would walk into the wakefield team... but so what? we have restructured Superleague to take the fear of relegation away.. so lets ake the most of that and bring some british kids through.
