Can not quite work out what our coaching staff are playing at  in the back division ,We’re just bringing in average ,young players who have not been able to establish a place in the team they play for and they are mot going to improve our first team  though we have got some big problems in certain attacking areas of the first team . From what I see coming in to the Hull side, Wires, side and Catalan side , think we could struggle to make top 10 next season May get shot down but remember the people in charge are saying we are wanting to become a regular top 6 team think we need more quality 

Thirded!

As per my original post, I'm very doubtful about this one...I said the same about Olly Russell's signing this time last year....if we are aiming to be top 4 next year then I think this is a very mediocre signing (although I do hope he proves me wrong !!) First interview with him here... JACK SINFIELD | Joins Wakefield

After reflecting on everything, I agree with HV. Jack hasn't been brought in as next year's starter or a marquee signing but the potential in say 18 months is he could be exactly that sort of player, given development and game time. He's only 21 and has come through a very good system. He's been a standout player at every age group he's represented. He is the type of player we don't often have at Trinity; players like him usually move elsewhere to continue their development. It’s clear that he has goals and doesn’t want to be stuck waiting for Conor to get injured at Leeds. When he played in the reserves this year, he appeared to be a level above the other players on the field. If he gets anywhere near where people think he should, we'll have made a top signing, especially as Lino comes to the end of his contract, and we'd be looking for someone to fill his boots.

I'm not sure what Alegend is talking about when he claims we've only signed young players for development, while Hull, Warrington, and Catalans are bringing in all these impressive talents. Didn't Catalans, Wire & Hull do the same before the start of this last season? And 2 of those finished 5 wins behind us, plus Wire's big signing has given back word and isn't moving in Pangai Jr, who tbh I think they've swirved a bullet there.


Firstly, we've only signed two young players: Sinfield and 18-year-old Kian McGann from Saints. Both are highly rated British halfbacks who are valuable assets in our sport. I don't really understand the issue with supporting talented young British players and bringing them to Trinity for development; it's something people have been wanting for years, especially as it is not as if we haven't signed a few bits of absolute quality to add to a team that finished 6th, while missing the 2nd most players from injury in SL.


Secondly, our three main signings are NRL players, including a NRL Grand Final winner this year in Smoothy, and a former Dally M winner in Jazz, who can say that. We've also secured a top young prop, Tray Lolesio, from the Queensland Cup. If he performs anything like Caleb, Vagana, or Rodwell, we should have a great addition. DP has compared him to an Amone-like prop, noting his powerful leg drive, and he is expected to make a significant impact. Plus, we've added a bit of extra squad depth to our middles and brought in Jordan Williams from Featherstone, a big unit that will give extra time for Lingard to progress. He's 28 and played SL for London with Rourke and didn't look out of place, so he adds that depth. Nearly forgot, we also signed Will Tate from Cas, who will provide extra cover at wing/centre behind Tom, Walmsley, Myers, Hall, Pratt, etc he's a decent player, he just needs to stay fit. He seems to have been brought in because we've let Neil Tchamambe go on a year-long loan to London, which will do him the world of good playing against men in the Champ each week at 20.

Spot on with this post, summed up perfectly for me.
