Would that make him harmless???

I will get my coat.

'armless maybe

wow! barring mellars and kirmond im not impressed. fox if you can get him back to form will be good

At the end of the day, we are a club that is trying to rebuild from scratch! Let's see what happens, I'm just looking for some progress. Yes it would have been a bit more fair on Lee if he'd played his prefered position but that was the nature of the beast last season.

Let's try to be positive, I think we're putting a fairly good squad together for next season.

I think we've put together a decent squad from nothing, a halfback and a prop and we'll nearly be there. I fancy a top eight finish

Ali Lauititi is rubbish then ??? haha your a joke pal

Harsh on Ellis considering London seemed very sad to see him go. You don't strike me as knowing owt so i'll leave my reposte at that

Its wasnt about whether you were impressed or not.
It was about your ridiculous statement,shall i remind you

"wakefields signings have struggled to hold a first team spot elsewhere"

By not checking out some basic facts,you come across as a fool.

Double Wow!!!!!!!

Will do a job if we dont over play him from the start 15 - 20 minutes off the bench if we put too much on him he will be crocked for most of the season.

Dean Collis & Steve Southern who knows we have a lousy record over the years with overseas players lets hope we have got it right this time

Happy with Fox,Ellis,Washbrook,Wilkes,Mellars & Raleigh

Far from convinced with Kirkmond and Wood time will tell

As for top 8 lets get real on paper the three quarters look ok but we have nothing yet at halfback and the front row needs more than one prop

He's the guy i'm most looking forward to seeing in a Trin shirt so far.

I am suprised at the negativity regarding Kirmond signing.

When he was on loan with us he actually was the one who looked to give a in many matches. Some my of argued that was because he was using us as a springboard to get back into the shudds line up at the end of the year, but I think he generally enjoyed it at Wakefield and he made that more than clear on the field.

My own ambivalence towards his signing is based more on the total lack of interest he showed during the latter half of the season for Shudds, when they had Broughy out, couldn't buy a win and really needed some players to dig in and stop the rot.

Maybe he'll re-find the form he had whilst on loan with us, in which case I'll happily eat my words.

You could aim that at any number of players in the last 1/3 of the season to be fair, wasnt pretty watching at times.

It was for me!



You do seem to have a problem though in term of sustaining early season momentum - is it a fitness or conditioning thing I wonder, or maybe the annual 'will he, won't he?' circus that surrounds your Harry Hill collar wearing head coach has an effect on the players morale and commitment?

Either way, it must be frustrating to watch all that money run out on the pitch each week and at the end of the season, achieve nowt, not least for your very own Mr Burns.

I'll bet its frustrating for every club that pay full cap and win nothing.

Giants need a new main man if they want to now win things.

wakefield will do well to finish above 12th next season.

Yawn.

1/10.

just dont want you getting thoughts of play offs!

We will, but i'll guess we will be between 9th and 12th.
What do you predict for Shudds?

dont know who shudds are sorry

Your posts are getting more ridiculous, I'd be more concerned about the signing of Tommy Lee if I were you. The worst half-back in SL last season, good luck with him. (I know he is supposed to be a hooker, but his skills are there for all to see) my grandma is quicker off the mark.

Dont feed the troll, hes even disliked on the Hudds board!

I'm all for this. Let us be the underdogs, the has-beens, the also-rans. It suits us down to the ground.

All I ask next season is to be entertained. Let's face it, we have been in rugby league purgatory for the last 18months. We nearly went under 9 months ago, and for the last 27 games we have watched a below average team play rock bottom rugby. I don't expect us to turn into world beaters overnight. The signings we have made may not be the greatest on the planet but compared to what we had, they will improve us exponentially. For those who've not been in our situation and are looking in, they may not understand our excitement. But here in the real world, we know what we have been through, we remember what we have seen, and we are happy to acknowledge that this time last year, there wasn't a peep coming out of Belle Vue. A lot has changed in a year.

I don't think any genuine fan can be against the notion of working within our means, repairing our reputation, keeping the promises we have made and continuing to move forward. This season may see us finish 12th, it may see us finish higher, but wherever we finish we will be in a damn stronger position than we have been in for as far back as I can remember.

Sheffield/Huddersfield
Shudd hand the £1M back to the RFL
Shudd finish higher than they do.
Shudd have better attendances.
Shudd stop taking our players.
Shudd give us back the Yorkshire Cup

So where do you predict them finishing, if we will finish 12th?

bitter much?
