| Quote ="J20"Seen as the vast majority of our recruitment has been done, I thought it maybe worth having a look at it in a positional sense, attaching each player to one posistion to see how the squad depth is shaping up. Obviously a lot can play more than one spot but have had to select one to balance the look out.
FULL BACK
Shaun Briscoe- A good solid and dependable fullback, will go well for you.
Danny Craven- dont know enough about to comment
Jack Owens- same again
WING
Paddy Flynn- seeen a bit of him and looks to have some potential, time will tell if he is good enough for sl week in week out
Patrick Ah Van- a defensive liability, but big and hard to stop.
CENTRE
Chris Dean- not that great in defence but knows how to score tries and has got some size.
Willie Isa- big fast centre, can be injury prone and has a few rushes of blood to the head but if he can get a sustained run in the team should go well.
STAND OFF
Anthony Watts-plenty of talent, needs to stay out of trouble off the field, should go well.
Tom Gilmour- not seen him to be honest.
SCRUM HALF
Rhys Hanbury-decent half back, no world beater
LLoyd White- similar assesment to hanbury
HOOKER
Jon Clarke- a good leader on the feild with a point to prove will do a decent job
Scott Moore- sometimes looks fantastic sometimes terrible, will win and lose you games i think
Thomas Coyle- decent back up from what i have seen
PROP
Ben Cross- didnt look great last year, a grafter from what i know but is prone to giving penalties away
Ben Davies- lots of potential but still quite raw with only a small amount of sl experiance, will have a good carear but not yet the finished article
Steve Pickersgill- what little i have seen of him he looks ok but wont brake any pots
Ben Kavangh- dont know enough about him to give a decent opinion.
Anthony Mullally-as above
SECOND ROW
Hep Cahill- will go well for you
Frank Winterstein- will do a job
Dave Allen- not sure
Macgraff Leuluai -not sure
LOOSE FORWARD
Simon Finnigan- decent
Kurt Haggerty'" -decent
Thats my fair and honest assesment of your squad.
I think you will finish 14th-12th you have some decent players but not much depth and you are relying on alot of players that have little or no sl experiance, how well you can gel as a team will decide if you can avoid the wooden spoon, i think you probabaly will.

| some of these players will only be fringe players and usedon the odd occasion imo. We still need 3 solid signings imo, not just to increase squad depth but overall squad quality. I think Moore, Briscoe, Clarke, Davies, Isa, Watts and Cross will have a great season next year. However this is just 6 from 13. There are other players like the 4 from Crusaders but ive not seen an awful lot on them to say. I just looked on the wakefield website and they have a few good players like Rinaldi, Henderson, Motu Tony and Glen Morrison but nothing overly exciting. If we have a good season we will finish 9th-10th at best. Thats why its a 3 year liscencing process however, always time to build.
Bring in Inglis, Slater, Cameron Smith and Benji Marshall and i'll be satisfied.

| I am quaking in my boots with Wakeys squad.Worried about Penney,Morton,Walshaw,Cowling,Mellars,Moore,Hyde,Kaye,Wildie,Ellis,Annakin,Lee,Higgins,Wilkes,James,Johnson,Lauititi who near end of career,Spiers,Trout,and Southern.Hardly world beaters and to laugh at our squad is a joke.

| Quote ="J20"Looking at the Wakey squad you could say similar... There outside backs look very weak IMO and one winger as it stands is Penny who we let go, no real half backs, two decent hookers.
Got a few good signings in the pack but they are certainly nothing overly social and will be amongst where we are amongst a few other teams at the bottom end.'"
1 winger ha Peter fox is far away a better player than penny. Penny cannot cut it in SL. You can have him back if u want.

Have you not seen the drawings Dalton? They're so much better than Castlefords. I believe they also have a real polystyrene model of the said stadium set up in the boardroom. You can't get any realer than that. It's as good as built my friend.

I don't know. Castleford's drawing had a Space Shuttle launching platform, a dinosaur zoo and an ice cream factory. Wakefields had to settle with an artificial beach and a bog standard zoo.
I think they need to get a new illustrator in!

Hey man if you honestly think wakefields illustrator has a better grasp of reality then explain how they are going to build that grand canyon viewing platform when they're nowhere near the grand canyon!
Cas' imaginary stadium is way better!

Yes that is impressive
Well it would be except for the fact that Wakey's average crowds for this season is 6,551. Surely you didn't include the magic weekend total attendance to boost Wakey's attendance did you?

| Without wanting to get into a measuring contest here..
I think 6,551 is a damn good attendance average considering..
1. Club went in admin weeks before season start, players sold of.
2. Lowest playing budget in SL by far.
3. Licensing looming all season with media hanging the tombstone round the clubs neck from week 1.
It's been a tough year as a wakey fan but now glover seems to have his haid screwed on like your boss man. Spending about 1.5 mill cap for 2012 up from 700k this year.
Oh and belle vue is getting a new roofed away stand, extended seating and roof on east, roof on west and has 2 new bars in ground. Chairman investing over £500,000 in these improvements. Look forward to going to your stadia next year and welcoming you to belle vue too.

You've had far more time than Widnes to recruit for super league. You've had years and years and still achieved nowt more than propping up the table.
