Much as he is quality he has said he wants to go back to NRL so not much point delaying development of current centres. I think Powell is looking at props. Having a quota space spare I think taking the easy option is looking at Salford and my view is as NRL season starts sometimes a big name that would make a big impact becomes available so maybe keeping an option open is a good idea. I think he also lacks the loyalty of a Powell signing.

I still think a top class hooker needs to be on our radar. Hood is possibly at his peak and we need to replace in a year or two. I think Doyle will be quality and Smith could be class but I think we have a gap between Smith been 100% ready and Hood moving/retiring. Just an opinion.

I agree - and when you put it like that it shows how light we are in the pack. Two props and a second rower for next season would do nicely. 

Hood on his way to Cas?!

That's how it goes, I'd have been more than happy if he'd stayed but only for another year. But you've no control when players leave and where they go.Hood will go well for them if he signs, but he's another year older and we know full well what he's capable of.

Wakefield Trinity star's prognosis unclear as boss gives concerning update

Wakefield Trinity star's prognosis unclear as boss gives concerning update

Losing TJ is a huge blow to getting in the 6 imo so I hope it’s not long. 


Losing the left edge of Pratt and TJ imo contributed to us losing at Hull. We lose a lot of metres, strong settled defence and experience on that wing. 


Is Russell injured again? I thought he’d be back in to be honest. 


At least Ollie back at centre will help somewhat.
