Been released by Leigh, this after signing a 3 year deal not long ago.
He's in the Wales squad, JK is Wales coach.
I'm going to get all giddy and put 2+2 together and get a billion trillion.

Why? He's got nothing to add to our squad.

Because he's a good player and plays prop, seems like he ticks two of the boxes that we are looking for in a player.

A few rumours circulating that you've signed French international Gadwin Springer from us. Gadwin is useful in short burst but I think Powell has got frustrated with him that he hasn't really kicked on this season. Perhaps he needs longer bursts on a more consistent basis. Wish the lad well anyway.

Can see the logic, but not sure he would improve our squad, maybe as back up prop.

One prop I did notice the other day, who is off contract, is Lee Mossop.

Salford having a clear out, 28 years old I think, and has played a all his career in the top flight.

Lee Mossop has been living off the loan spell he had at Shudds and the season he had at Wigan that led to him and Hock getting signed by Parra, done nothing since.

Agreed looks shot to me but what do I know.

Heard that Paulie Paulie name again today, sounds promising if true!

Let's.get.EVERYONE!!!!!

Mossop would be a classic wakey signing

Agree he's done nothing since Wigan
He only played a handful of times in aus after
But he's got size and ability and he's English

It's a bit of now or never for him isn't it
Prime for JK to sort out I'd say

Hock has left Leigh, should we speculate over him coming to Wakey too?

That was exactly my thoughts too Musson.

I also think if he had turned to poor overnight Wigan would have got shut sooner to be honest.

Hock is a big no no

I thought we were after a Aussie prop?

I read that Dave Tyrell was after a SL club as he not being getting any first grade game time at the rabbitohs

Could this be our man ?

On Hopkins, nothing to get too over exited about. Would do a job a as back up Prop no doubt. If I remember he played off the bench for Leigh and didn't do right big minutes. With losing Allgood and Walker, maybe he would be a replacement for Walker and we're after someone down under to fill the spot left by Allgood.

I had also heard the same Musson.

But I had alsk heard that we are looking for another pivot, could even be hooker, to free up Randell to be used in the halves.

It could come down to where the best options are all round, 2 positions to be filled but only one quota spot available.

Looking on the zero tackle website, there arent many halves/hookers off contract in SL

Looking on the zero tackle website, there arent many halves/hookers off contract that are off contract that dont take up a quota spot.

MC says we are, said on yorkshire radio the other day, who it is is anyones guess. Like he says though, the players that Trinity buy just can't be good players, they have to be a certian type of guy that buys completely into what MC, CC and JK are trying to do here. He said that's what made them pick Randall, not just because he's a good player but he had the right attitude that would suit us.

On the Prop issue, as above, we're defo after wanting to use our Quota spot on one but we're also have to get someone to replace Walker. Plus, although the noises from the club are positive about Hirst staying, he hasn't signed yet, so maybe there are some miles in a couple of these rumors.

We had Hasson who if you didn't start him, he offered nothing off the bench.
JK has a couple of months to work with Hopkins in the Wales squad, if your going to get to know a player, no better way than that.

Hasson really only came when Walker screwed up and we probably did Salford a bit of a favor so they could sign who they did, who's name escaped me. Yes he didn't add that much, except cover tbh.
Your right JK will have time to work with the lad and have a real good look at him. My only real observations were that he'd be a decent back up and from what I saw of him off the bench at Leight he didn''t play many minutes. Anyway just reading an article on the Leigh Journal from today, he says he was devastated he wasn't kept on by Leigh. He hasn't even got an agent and hasn’t spoken to any other clubs. So we'll see.

Mossop is absolutely woeful. Avoid avoid avoid!!

Agree on that. he seems to have got worse and worse since he came back to SL - doesn't help in RL having jacked up shoulders.

Should look at Kopzack at Salford

I said that 12 months ago Wilzay.

Wales captain too, or was

But he was under contract 12 months ago.... and still is now????

He's a good lad is Eastern but I think he gets his info from the warty women at the chippy - feet first is our Eastern.

Also I would guess Kopchak would be an in demand player - I realise our standing in RL has gone up a lot but I'd suggest to everyone that there are more attractive clubs still out their - bit of realism perhaps.

Also isn't Baldwinson Walkers replacement - think that people are forgetting that he and Randall are actually 2018 signings. Baldwinson is 23 6'3'' and 15+ stone so he's big enough, bags of experience. He's down as a prop on some sites but a 13 on others which is a bit confusing - seems a bit large for a 13 tbh

So far

Horo
Randell
Baldwinson in

Only player of note lost Williams.

I'm not including youngsters. Who knows on that one.

Finally I understand why we want a prop/forward - to me packs win prizes - but it wouldn't imho be vital - we seem to have a prop obsession every year.

Most of that wasn't really aimed at you by the way
