| Quote ="Kettykat"Was simply asking where we all think he will end up playing ,not on his abilities as I alluded to he can play various positions to a very good standard ,but will he become first choice or a super sub a bit like Rocky ,who more or less can cover the same positions equally as competent in my eyes . And yes I know that a small squad as ours needs as many players that can wear different caps as possible to see us competitive through the season . I certainly wasn’t belittling the signing I was merely asking the question to as where we think he will play ,or his best position.'"
I know, didn’t suggest you were belittling anyone.
Personally I think he will start on the bench perhaps and then move in to cover injuries. Doesn’t even have to start, for a player like him a place will free up soon enough and if it doesn’t it’s a great asset for a team that must clearly be on form.
WP is lucky here as none of these players are his signings which means he’s not under the same obligation as CC may have been to play him.

| Quote ="vastman"If he does remain fit he also offers great competition for places. Centre, FB and SO to name but three. All positions you don’t want to go stale.
He’s also played 211 games in his career so I think the injury bit is overdone a little.
Granted he’s at the end of his career now but used wisely he’s still an asset to any team.
Finally let’s be honest, on his day he’s a better FB than Jowitt and Hampshire, he’s the equal of Miller and a match for our three centres,
Why people don’t like this signing does baffle me a little.'"
You are way of the mark ,and think it's a insult to Jowit,Hampshire and R L , and B T .Why if he is that good was he not offered at Huddersfield .Could it be a player they wanted rid off ,because of the time he as been out injured this season .Just one more injury prone players who see Wakefield as a easy target to get a contractor .and does not care if he plays or not

| Now this might just be my memory but I think Huddersfield were only willing to give him a one year contract whilst we offered the security of two. I do believe he is fit to play but Huddersfield prefer not to play those players who are leaving at the end of the season.

Conversely he might not fit into the coaches plans for this coming season having inherited him when he came last year and was prepared to keep him on this season as it would have been difficult to move on a player mid season, difference here is Watson has the backing of the club financially and in those terms has money to burn as proved last year with his recruitment, so just because shudds can go for more high profile players than us doesn't devalue Gaskell at all, and if anybody is being insulting it's you by your suggestion, just out of interest do you actually know how many of the games he missed was he actually injured, or was it simply that Watson did not rate him.

Presumably you weren't at Leigh today or Huddersfield last week .. imho he's bang average, certainly no leader, and I can't understand the love-in or his untouchable status. As much as it pains me to say it Luke Gale has more rugby league nous in his toupee !!

I’m with you mate, if the club want to keep him fair enough but I don’t get the love in. Yeah he’s upped his effort this season but he’s gone missing far too often for me these last few years. He’s not a leader and a lot of his kicking is just aimless. He has his good days but not often enough for me.

| Phil Vievers said on radio Leeds he’s too predictable and plenty of time had Lino wanting the ball with better options but didn’t give the ball or it was too late. Think Millers form at Wakefield has left him perhaps a move might be best for all parties

Can't argue with that tbh.
The league table suggests we are a 3.5 out of ten team. Whilst Miller remains as Captain and focal point it saddens me to say that I can't see that getting any better.

He's not wrong in my eyes.
Whilst he has hit some purple patches with us, for me flatters to deceive.

Unless there is a turnaround from Raiders Williams will be off contract and probably in our price bracket.

| Knowing Wakefield it will most likely be Gale who Leeds can't wait to get rid of, coming to Belle Vue like others in the past have done for a couple of seasons to get their pension pot. I Wish it could be Williams but dread it will be Gale.

Thats why the club have scouts etc but miller is at best average.yesterdays opposite who will be playing championship rugby next season is at another level to miller so im sure a few weeks back he was available granted not now.but like with other players at the club miller is still under contact and cannot be simply let go of.this is the problem with wakefield fans some players cant do no wrong no matter there performances of which miller hasnt been good

He backed out last year for family circumstances - I hear it was due to his missus on a good wage back home, no idea if that's true or not but would make sense.

| Williams is not the player he was when at Wakefield. He was drafted into Canberra’s first grade and had some good plays but he appears to have lost some pace and the opposition forwards were clearly targeting him as a weak link.
I think it is obvious his desire will be to remain at Canberra at any level and maybe his loyalty will be rewarded there.

| Miller does lots of really good work and is a real grafter, and leads from the front. He tackles everything and runs his blood to water. But, what he does not do well is make correct pass selections. He holds the ball too long while he has a look around, then hits the short runner with a crash ball too often. Hampshire ran into some great positions around the back yesterday to be able to put the winger away, but never got the ball.
These need to be drill plays, rehed and executed quickly. That one second delay that Miller takes to decide is the difference between a great pass and a poor one, and at the moment he is just on the wrong side with his timing.
