Looking at the confirmed in and outs for next year i think the one position we really need to look at is Stand off. With Atkins rumoured to be joining Warrington for £200k, and assuming Mr Kear has that money to use, who would we like to see at Belle Vue/Stanley over the next few years?

No guarantee that Kear will get the money to spend. Attendances well down this season. When your only getting gates of 6500 v Leeds that loss of revenue has to be made up. As for stand off i'd go for Obst, unless he turns down new deal otherwise i'd go for Bridge from Wire.

He wont have that money

Answer: BJ.

Massive backward step for me. Did nothing in his last 2 seasons at Wakefield only good performance in this period against Wigan at home 2007 came after Kear threatened to axe him. Plus thought he needed to move closer to home.

Think it will be a good combo, Brough to take the lead, BJ to play on the fringes.......especially with the pack we will have next year!!!

For me, that will be better than; Brough and Rooney/Obst/Grix/Martin!!

p.s have you seen how many try assists BJ has this year???

i agree think a brough/jefferies partnership combo would be good both of them could play there own roles unlike when it was jefferies/rooney and brough/who ever at six

Chris bridge/stefan ratchford if available/affordable

Jeffries has set loads up this year hasnt he.

I'm not too sure, I quite like having Martin @ 6 because it makes us stronger in defence in the middle.

not necessarily at the end of the day bj can be a very good player on his day and if he is the choice and he is pulling on a trinity shirt again he will get my 100 percent backing him and brough could compliment each other very well and bring the best out of each other.

BJ would be yet another Aussie... though I understand he has/qualifies for citizenship, he still won't be federation trained. How many non-fed players do we have contracted for next season?

1st Choice Stefan Ratchford
2nd Get Chris Bridge from Warrington
3rd I'd bring Rooney back
4th?
5th?
6th?
ect..
ect..
ect..
101st BJ

3rd Mark Conway

No 3 is highly unlikely.

So is me winning the Euro Lottery and the Lotto on the same weekend but I still bought tickets for both.

Anyway it was just a measure of how set against BJ returning I would be.

How far off 1st team is Southernwood?

Debut could be next season but he won't be a regular for a couple of years IMO

Would definately have to think long and hard about renewing my season ticket if we resign Jefferies. I still haven't recovered from his pathetic displays from his previous stint with us. Bradford havent taken long to ship him out, pity it took us so long and I can't believe we would take him back. Any one remember when he had a camera set up during matches to capture his performances , hopefully to attract other teams interest.?Well that failed miserably not suprising, a player who has all the talent but no heart or desire on too many occasions. Keep well away John Kear PLEASE.

Dont worry, sure that will sway Kear into not bringing him back!!!!

Unfortunately I know it won't have any bearing at all on wether he signs or not, but at least I have a choice wether to buy a season ticket or not!

Why on Earth would you not renew your season ticket just for one player? If he is good you'll want to see him win games for us, if you are right and he is not good, he won't be in the team so it won't be a problem to you.

Seems a bit of a drama queen statement to me

Quality support don't you just love it

Calm down old cocker, its only Snitch!

Try and count the top players of their time who have left the club for me Sid, Solo, Jefferies, Rooney, Fox, Ellis, Semi etc but in that time we have gone on and upwards.

Trinity > Any player

and in Kear I trust.

Step back and await the fireworks!!!!!

always thought Jeffries was under-rated tbh and wrongly accused of not trying just because he is quiet and laid back.

think he would go well with Brough fwiw as Brough and Drew try and dominate the game too much when they are both on the field imo

Did i on purpose. I was not a fan of his due to inconsistancy and the really poor short kick offs that gained us 2-5 yards. That said he was an important player in his time and scored some wicked solo tries with a short burst of pace catching opposition out.
