Yousef has gone to Leeds for a couple of weeks on loan

So we sign the British version of Jarrod Hickey and prioritise him over one of our own? Aydin should’ve played more than Butler.

Another totally baffling decision by us.

Words fail me.

Why not loan out someone like Battye or Butler. Might have give Butler a bit of time to get himself fit

Yes but the clubs so wellrun

Maybe they don't want Butler.

Maybe the two game ban would negate the two week loan.

Butler is suspended in case you've forgotten and they obviously don't want Battye.
It's good experience for him if he gets a couple more SL games under his belt whilst he's not being selected here. At this stage Bowden is seen as higher up the pecking order along with Whitbread, Fifita and Arona.

And to be honest. If it helps Leeds beat Toulouse it's good for us
Maybe we should send more?!?!

He’s not a top 4 prop in our team, Leeds are obviously struggling. We have a healthy relationship with Leeds/ G Heatherington. See it a massive compliment to our young product. No negatives out of this what do ever

Could this be the sweetener so we get someone from them to hopefully help us survive `

Dwyer was rumoured and we really could do with a decent hooker, to help Hood/Bowes out.

Weird one this for me, as i put in another thread he'd have been in my team this week. I think he's out of contract this year so i hope it's not a case of try before you buy.

As a Leeds fan what can you tell us about this lad?

Given we are down to one proper Prop at the moment, he will definitely make the match day 17 for us you’d have thought

He’s a young lad learning his trade.
He’s one for the future from what I’ve seen of him but not yet ready for regular selection.

Good attitude, good engine and will work all day for you. Never let us down when given a chance.

No issue with this.

Do him the world of good. I think a taste of a big club will fire him up, if it doesn't there is your answer.

Yes, a bit of back scratching with Leeds could be a positive thing especially in the short term.

I tend to agree, if we aren’t going to play him in next couple games then makes a lot of sense.

Would imagine that this week we actually have a few more names to select from - certainly Bowden and Jorge, possibly kershaw and Lino, even before this wp seemed to be going for the size of butler rather than aydin

I feel a bit sorry for Butler after Saturday, that sin binning could happen to anybody and there was definitely no intent to drive his opponent into the ground. Although I'm yet to be impressed by him I'm also yet to be unimpressed. Aydin has time Butler doesn't, he needs a big game and soon.

Is it not a concern that this could be a mini trial ahead of a permanent move? I'm harsh and I accept I am. But I have seen nothing from Butler to warrant selection over this lad. If Leeds snap him up and he becomes a top player we could live to regret this one

Looking at leeds squad they aint winning sturday makes you wonder why thay have loaned so many out too

He needs game time so if he gets a chance at Leeds then it will be great development for him. He will also experience better facilities. Hopefully he is still in the clubs long term plans as he showed up well when he's played.

People are acting like Aydin is the answer to all our problems. He is a young lad who in my opinion hasn’t broken any pots. I’m fact in his last game vs Wire he was a liability in defence allowing a opposition forwards to step him leaving a huge gap.

Aydin has a lot to prove yet imo and I’m not convinced he’s yet good enough. Of course, as a young Wakefield player i do hope that he does develop into a good SL player whether that be us or someone else.

I think this works in the clubs favour saving a bit of money and also not standing in the way of an opportunity for Aydin.

As it stands we have Fifita, Bowden, Arona, Whitbread who are all ahead of him.

No mention of Butler here which is the point I made. If the lad is aggrieved at a lack of game time then you can understand it to some degree.

I'm not saying he's a world class talent and has already established himself. But by the same token he's never going to get there by not playing.

I played prop myself and I happen to like what I see with this lad. If he comes back all good. If he comes back to haunt us we might live to regret it.

Butler has been okay. He has been solid nothing more. It’s clear that Butler needs to work on his fitness and get on the weights but I think the time to judge him will be after a full pre season or a string of games. I don’t see what he has to do with Aydin being allowed to go on loan though.

Aydin I would put about on par with Butler as 5/6th choice props presently. The one thing I do like about Aydin is his aggressive and niggly streak he has.

I wouldn’t read too much into this loan. Leeds are short of props, we have an excess few available. It also works in our interest that Leeds have a stronger line up vs Toulouse available.

Personally I’m 50/50 on Aydin st this point. Im much more excited about seeing Eseh develop.
