Nothing wrong with what we have. They are not the team we’d hoped they would be but with some effort and some basic rugby we can survive.

It has to come from within I’m afraid, absolutely none of the players mentioned would make jot of difference imho it’s to late for that.

I agree and we know this lot are capable of much better than what we are seeing. In fact it could be argued that just looking for a raft of new players every time we hit a rough patch is a sign that the coach isn’t capable of improving the performances and attitudes of the ones we have so tries to find an easy way out. A Kyle Amor, Oliver Roberts or Ryan Atkins are no better than what we already have.

I am surprised but the Roberts/Hampshire swap was actually close to fruition. It would appear to be on our instigation because we apparently needed another back row. It was stopped at the 11th hour by Hampshire who changed his mind and withdrew from the deal.
I am sorry but this would just be dumb it appears we are utilising the try before you sign. It is not for our benefit because I doubt we would be looking to sign Roberts just like our recent Salford player. I also don’t think you could say Hampshire does not try.
I really don’t see any benefit from this other than to weaken the squad.

From what I've seen and heard, Hampshire appears to want to stay at Wakefield, so surely it is in both his and the club's best interest's to sit down and thrash out a deal between themselves and then we can all move on and concentrate on avoiding relegation !!

I don’t know how to do it but probably

Re: Players in and out : Mon Jul 22, 2019 2:20 pm  

In our present situation I'd happily consider any of these on a short term basis :
Atkins, Westwood, Washbrook, Matongo,Amor, Matt Cook ... desparate times indeed !!

If It's true about Ferris coming think it shows wich direction we are going ,he is just troubled..He is 33 years old but most worrying is that the coach as not learnt any thing from this year about playing old players who are out for months when injured.The way the club are trying to move Hampshire on is baffling trying to move him on for a nobody from Hudersfield is stupid.Think most Wakefield fans can see the main reson we are leaking try's in is by insisting on playing Brough and Paul next to one other in defence.Get that sorted by getting them out of team or play them at different side of pitch .Think it's to late any way thanks to the way we are playing and St have not helped any of the four teams by handing London 4 points
