With Murphy out.....is this the backline

1. Blaymire
2. Grix
3. Gleeson
4. J.D
5. Atkins

If you discount George and its seems for whatever reason we seem to, then yes.

He got an eye injury couple of week ago. If he is ok to play now I would give him a chance on Friday

Could well be looks ok guess it puts Obst at stand off then Kear can play his 3 hookers!

That said I very much doubt that Atkins will be on the wing. He'll stick JD out there if not playing George.

So he is fit?

In that case:

1. Blaymire
2. Grix
3. Gleeson
4. Atkins
5. George

But I would like to see (never going to happen)

1. Blaymire
2. Gleeson
3. J.D
4. George
5. Atkins

With Grix 6 and Brough 7.

Not sure, that is what I am wanting to know

George looked fine last saturday, did not seem to have a problem.

Good. He must have recoverd from the eye problem

Dave Halley seemed to do more than OK as i recall

Then he is the exception that proves the rule!

or maybe class always shows

Maybe would have been interesting to see if he had stayed how well he would have done. I guess there was Peter Fox as well so maybe I'm talking rubbish, still harking back to Frew and Sampson!

Josh Bostock now there was a true Wakey winger!

What about Neil Law. Once saw him intercept a Bradford pass on our 20 mts and set off with a good 10 mtr start. The Bradford backline turned around and had him before he got to halfway.

Very true but amazingly he scored a lot of tries as did wassa!

Didn't Law score a full lengther against Hull one year? c. 2001?

Wassa used to work for his. Neil Law just usually caught the ball and fell over the line. Having said that this proves that we once knew how to make openings for wingers and then give them the ball otherwise Neil Law would never have scored.

Also can you remember George Truelove it was difficult to define what he was but he may have been a winger, now he is what I call a classic Wakefield signing

Mentioned before but like the look of Nixon @ Barrow. Plenty of pace,knows where the line is,scored nearly 100 tries and still only 23.

Scored a cracker under the sticks at Headingley. Great assist from Ben Walker....

Not sure about alot of tries. This was back in the day when our points for never looked that cracking, but they both scored a few.

Pretty sure Law was once our top scorer in the league with 9 tries. By todays standard that looks pretty poor but i suppose its a sign of how we have progressed.

Very poor given that our top try scorer has 10 this year!

Might have been a couple more, but I agree with you. Convinced he conceded far more than he scored.

Just looking at www.slstats.org Law scored 9 in 2000, 10 in 2001 and 4 in 2002. Not info for 1999. Just checked out the stats for 2004. Domic on 22 tries was a superb effort but probably playing off Solomona at his best made that possible.
