I think our number 7 recruitment is one of the most important signings we will make as a club in years. I say this because we are so close to being a genuine top team

We have an exceptional team and squad
We need some one to come in and be the man for us and run the team and if that 7 is successful!
All you have to do is look at our points difference
We need a game manager, a Lee briers or a Danny Brough
There were 5-6 games we nearly won this season that we perhaps would have with the right SH

It's for rocky to prove that he can too as i agree with other posters, it's probably his last chance to do it at SL level in his favoured position

I would defo like to see rocky resign but he still needs to prove himself, he's not the finished article YET

Are you going to stump up the cash to replace both of them?

From a neutral point of view I thought he was very quiet last night. Maybe it is because ot was Wigan and was trying too hard. That last tackle play where Lyne was done for obstruction was criminal and he should have been there demanding the ball. You guys have obviously seen him recently and highlights have shown him up well, but if he is demanding massive money on the back of a couple of top drawer games it says more about him or his agent than it does his talent. He always seems from the outer to be making demands such as half back or nothing at Wigan, big money from Wakey, without actually justifying it totally. I hope he turns out to develop to be top class as we need as much competition at international level as possible in the halves. Got to admit though I assume his agent won't help, seems a very egotistical man. He also showed the same trait with Jack Walker making him demand to be a full back at Leeds rather than develop as a player

I agree he needs to just get on with the Rugby. Personally I think Wakefield are offering him his best chance possibly his last to really make it. If he and those around him can’t see it then they are kidding themselves.

I don’t give a stuff about the local boy nonsense or the ridiculous hype from Belly and others. He’s got a lot to prove and although he’s well worth a punt he isn’t worth breaking the bank for. If we and our money isn’t good enough then I wish him farewell and good luck.

I just hope his expectations are not based on the ridiculous contract he was on at Leigh. There's a place for him at Wakefield and chance to push on in the game that I do not believe he'll get elsewhere in Super League.

I'd personally keep him as back up he shows spells of what he can do.
I would sign a half and a quality fullback for me. Fullbacks are pivotal Jowett and grix don't have the X factor for me..

Give over they are both more than decent so what’s the problem. To get better we’d have to go top end NRL and we can’t afford that and they arn’t available. Try and be realistic please we have far more pressing needs imo.

Re: Rocky - Stick or twist : Fri Sep 07, 2018 12:29 pm  

The fullback position is well covered by Jowett and grix in my opinion,yes both can have off days but what little money we have needs to be spent elsewhere in the team

If we can't afford the really good players what are we doing playing in Super league surely we have got to have ambition we're not going to be a top four side if we haven't got the good players. It seems like we're just playing really to be a mid to lower team in super league & hope we get some poor teams in the Challenge cup so we have a chance of some silverware. Sometimes just sometimes you have to speculate to accumulate.
