According to the Wakey site he's coming to us on loan and that is from a ( so-called ) reliable source.

Opinions ?

Herad the same a few weeks ago. He has been underpar recentley (last few seasons) i think but used to be a player i really liked, hopefully he can kick start his carear with us, will give us much needed cover for the halfs.

I don't see how a loan signing could go wrong tbh. Decent enough player, we need cover in the halves, and he isn't tied down to a contract.

Always rated Jamie, ever since first saw him as an outstanding junior.
We should have kept him a few years ago, but Steady in his wisdom decided he wasn't good enough for Superleague, think he's played well over a 100 Superleague games for Wakey.

Jamie can give us a number things we've been missing this last few weeks, he has a good kicking game and is a ball player and organiser, he can also kick goals for fun (so if Kirk is having an off day, we have an alternative).

I reckon if he had been in the side that played against wire, we would have come away with the two points. Hope we can get him onboard before the Saints game, at least to get him used to the other players and what they can do, fingers crossed!

Worth a punt, especially if it keeps Sione and Goldy away from half-back and any sort of kicking/decision making role.

He was keen to come 3 weeks ago but Johnny Cone put the block on it. They must have had a change of heart

You forgot Netherton's trusty boot...

Edited for accuracy which said player needs

He's a good support player.

I think he'd fit into Cas very well.
Cas are lacking halves and Rooney looks to be a bit pushed out of joint with Drew and Brough being the main 'chiefs'.
He's looking to be a chief and Cas need one.

Rooney is slow has terrible defence (so should be ok) and goes missing when the backs are up against the wall so couldnt see him making us tick, hes been very average when not injured for waky sezs everything....hitman are you sure its not chef

tbf to JR if he gets more of a leadership role then i think he would mould into the cas set up.
if he does go then best of luck to him

he would be terrible for our team, like he is for yours, if he is was any good youd be whinging like the biatches you are, you are happy for him to go and even wish him luck...says everything i need to know the bloke is pants and Steady did know a bit about what it takes to be a stand off. and also a very good full back, if we need a water boy the club should jump at the chance for his services, or even if the cheerleaders need a coach

no i disagree the project as failed having so many quality backs ect, rooney is not a 2nd team player yet neither are the rest . if wakefield could transfer this wage to another quality centre/winger then that would be a step in the right direction .

Jamie would work well in a cas team me thinks

lol your finances must be in a state old boy to be wanting to offload your big earners at a whim Scully, Rooney, who's next??????????

still paying scully
Rooney cash to go different player
are we clear now

perfectly clear your in the poop and rooney is pants clear as crystal matey

Wouldn't it be nice for Rooney to turn round to Cas and say he's too good enough for your standards, revenge could be sweet for him.

but then in 4 years time fev would not get him are you sure ? dum ass

Well i heard last week that this was just a stupid rumour started by MR to cause a bit of speculation, And to make people aware that he may be available to get him off wakeys books.

I would be surprised if we signed him because of this, And he wouldnt fit into our side at all, We need an organiser and He isnt the man to do this, Drew and Brough are the organisers at Wakey, Rooney just backs them up

Showing signs of great intelligence, have a medal.

Would fev want him in 4 years time? Probably not.

He maybe just back up at Wakey Dettori, but he's a better organiser/kicker than anyone we have available at the moment, thing is if the news on Sherwin is bad and he is out for the season, we will be in a right old mess, we need an organiser very soon or our season will be over before Shifty is anywhere near ready to return.

Rooney is well off the pace at the minute. He is not an organiser and is too slow in moving the ball. His lack of game time has not helped him. Given 4/5 games he might get alot better but i can't see what he would bring to you that a youngster wouldn't.

He is 4 years younger than Iestyn "chocolate" Harris so Probably would.

Making space for next year mate,
