Well at least this gives a chance for a player who wants to stay at the club

Step up Matty Wildie - a real chance to make a name for himself and I hope he takes it.

had 2 or 3 good game but not that bothered

murphy going nowhere, solid as a rock here. george i think will def be going though hes out of contract and looks like broughton is on his way

To some Wakefield fans, Kyle will become dead wood that we're best off rid of; to some Shudds fans, he will become the next Cooper Cronk.

It was ever thus around player movements and, I suspect, always will be.

Also Huddersfield are very welcome to Vince Mellars

We stitched them up good and proper when they took Tommy Lee don't think they'll be suckered again

Tommy Lee had a good season for us all things considered, and certainly isn't a bad player, I was slightly surprised when we let him go to London knowing he could cover hooker and halfback

Wood doesn't inspire me personally, but then neither did Murphy but look what being at a good club has done for him...

2/10.

Agree, great opportunity for him.

Is that how many of the words you understood?
Tommy Lee wasn't great, but he wasn't bad either and provided cover

Kyle Wood might not be great but he provides cover & may well improve dramatically under new coaching at a top club.

I honestly thought you said it tongue in cheek and wernt serious. How do you account for the leaps and bounds Kirmond has improved by?

I like Kyle - not an amazing player but a decent one who always did his best for us. I think its a very smart move from us - PA has a knack of getting combinations spot on and I can see the sense in this signing, he will come at a lowish price but plug a small gap in our squad thats been needed. I think we will play him at 9 off the bench. Lunt will continue to play big minutes kyle will come of the bench to spell him and will be in reserve in case of injury to our halves. He has something more of a kicking game than lunt and although we will lack from lunts running game when he comes off we will gain from woods kicking game at the right time in the game when defences are tired at the end of the half and we can make the opposition turn and chase. As for Tommy Lee the fan above who was slating him is misguided - he played a very big part in OUR squad last year and complimented our players very well. We missed him terribly when he got injured which is the reason we had to get scott moore in (but only because of the issue with Lunt and NB). We would have gladly kept him but London offered more and a longer contract.
Kirmond hasnt improved - he was always a great player!

he was never playing at this level consistently, odd flashes of it at Giants but Brown dropped him due to his defence. He has improved greatly beyond doubt. Being in a place where you are wanted and are happy, and being coached not ignored will get the best out of you

OK 3/10, you really are full of it. Amazes me that such a "top" club still has to find a third of it's team from what I can only assume you cosier "not a top club".

Wood was with you before, I'm amazed he wasn't Sam Tompkins by the time we got him back



Honestly mate do one before you really look stupid.

Wood is poor defensively for the hooker role as you'll find out when he is targeted by the opposition. Not as good as last season, inconsistent.

Nope, and you know it. Poor effort from a troll who should do better.

I don't think he is trolling, I think he makes a valid point in that some players improve when they go to top clubs and Wood could do so. How come whenever someone else comes onto this board with a different viewpoint we immediately assume that they are trolling?

It's a shame no one will be around to see it.

Didn't agar say wood had been assured of a starting role at his new club and we could not say the same? That being the case maybe Lunt is off to a better/bigger club?

broughton has signed for shudds and we aren't getting smurf back!

And on the hull kr forum they are saying they have made an offer for Ben cockayne......

If it's true that he is getting a starting spot, that doesn't necessarily mean 1-13, it could mean he is the reserve hooker playing regularly off the bench - much like Roby did with Cunningham. As I understand it at the moment he is a fringe player at Wakefield? So maybe that's what he means.

Or, he could be looking to install him at 7 and move Robinson back to 9 next season.

Either way I don't think Lunt will be moving on, if he ever was going anywhere - it would have been last season to Leeds.

I think you've picked up a crackig player whos going to get better over the next two or three years. Good luck to him, he's scored some great tries for us.
