QLT's destination could have a bearing on that.........

Yep, that and the clock as Scott Grix will want to get his future sorted, unless we go for both of them!

QLT, as LTD posted wants to stay in SL with this weeks press saying so far 1 SL club has made a tentative enquiry and are looking to see if they can find a place for him.

Maybe still a chance for us as not only will he want to stay but play, will any SL club offer him a regular start that Fax would or just a squad place?

If we can get QLT for the right money then we’d be daft not to but if we can get Grix as well then we should but that would be a massive percentage of our wage bill.

In our league, Grix would be a superb signing

There is no chance QLT will end up at Wakefield.

We have 3 good fullbacks and we have 0 quota spaces left.

If by some miracle we were to get rid of one of our quota players, such as Horo then we would be looking for an organizing half as Chester has already stated we were previously talking to a half based in Aus and are currently in talks with a half belived to be Ben Reynolds.

Yes he would be! He has been fantastic for Wakefield - Yes he lacks pace as he is now older but what he brings to the team far outweighs that as a negative. I would not put it past Grix joining up with you next season although Chester still seems to view him as the best FB at the club and has given him another year on his contract!

Richard Marshal quoted as stating his continued interested in Jordan Baldwinson from Wakey, who he says “has been good for us, integrated into the team and loves it at Fax.”
Obviously the medial ligament rupture rules him out for this year but could return next season, with any deal, being one of their players would be down to Wakefield.
Same article covered the Robinson story and added “he would be one of a handful of new arrivals at the club with RM not expected to make sweeping changes to his squad.”

Strange that as we have most definelty not talked with QLT, I can 100% assure you that.

Scott Grix also attends some Fax matches. And what about this ……………..

He's one of our own, he's one of our own, Adam O'Brien, he's one of our own
