Quality wise I would be inclined to agree.
Contract terms and wages may have some baring on the decision too.

like a fellow supporter said earlier, Steve Nash has bags of potential!!!

.....If that refers to filling bags in the Asda at Durkar, obviously.

But yeah, Leeds squad finalised. Plus nobody would be a squad player at Leeds to become a squad filler at Wakefield. Or anywhere else for that matter

Squad numbers mean bugger all mate. For example we signed Sykes and Smith throughout the season.

Looks likely to be a prop whose coming towards the end of a contract and being told that it won't be renewed possibly or young one who is not going to get a look in? WTW may be trying to tempt them with a 2 year deal?

1. Moore didn't feature much for Leeds last season and in last year of contract isn't he?
2. Kirke seems to be favoured although has only 1 year left on his contract so could be him?
3. Josh Bowden is in Hull papers and its suggested that he may struggle to get a much of a look in behind 5 props there so looking for Super League experience through his ex-coach?
4. Mason in contract dispute with Huddersfield but once sorted who knows? I don't trust press releases or what is openly said by R.A.

Agree, just because someones been given a squad number doesn't mean they wouldn't take an offer from another club especially if it's for a longer contract, on similar or better money.

Out of the names banded about there's one or two I think could do a good job for us week in week out and some of the other names are no better than James.

Kirke bailey and griffin would all be in our first 17. I know I'm in a huge minority but I'd live bailey at wakey, said this to my mate at the play off game at headingley. He didn't share my views and I suspect a good 90% on here won't either!

Yep those 3 and Mason would go well for us, can't see Bailey leaving Leeds mind but if he did I'd have him here, no doubt he's a first class turd but at least he'd be our turd if he came here.

Atilla's birdy is not the same one I listen to!

I've had two names - and one of them doesn't fit the description.

I'm sure we may play for both but only end with one - we only need one IMO!

Who?

3 weeks ago Gary Hetherington was talking to Danny McGuire publically (well, at a dinner at headingley) and annouced that wthe squad was complete other than the potential for one more signing.

following this the squad numbers were announced.

I'd not say it's impossible, but after this I'd be shocked.

Can you really see Bailey leaving Leeds?

Wakefield's pack is good, they don't need to splash the cash on another front rower, whether they can afford it or not. Squad filler would be sufficient.

This is one of them:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Singleton

This is one of them:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Singleton

that'd be a decent signing for any club really. I rate that kid

Can't find where the squad numbers are. Does Kirke have a number?

17

yeah 17.

Wakefield need to save the precious pennies, pack is good enough to compete for the 8 - get a squad filler from Championship or Valvoline cup.

It does crack me up when people won't say who they have heard is signing. As if its something to do with the secrets act. JUST SAY WHO IT IS AND GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE!!

Put Teddy away again now!



There are several reasons for not naming names:

1 First and foremost - they might be wrong / they might be right - until a deal is done it remains speculation / rumour / gossip!
2 IF by any chance it is right - I'm sure the club wouldn't want the names branded about too much.
3 To preserve a confidence given and therefore hopefully to retain that confidence for future reference
4 Respect for all involved
5 Don't need a 5 - enough covered above.

As is seen by the difference in Atillas post and mine, both feel they have decent sources, but at least one of us is wrong, so who knows really???

1) who cares- Surely the fun in the off season is fans speculating about signings and getting excited about who it is and how they would fit in, makes the off season go quicker and builds up excitement for the first game
2) Really? This forum is not linked to the clubs in any official capacity so they really won't give two hoots about whats put on here.
3) Don't take yourself too seriously
4) Some of the vitriol that gets posted on these things beggers belief so I wouldn't worry about it
5) You do need one

am only jesting mate I just enjoy rumours and names being banded about, trying to figure out in your head who your starting 13 would be, permiatations e.t.c all fun of the game, its why we love sport

No harm in guessing / trying to work out who might be in the frame - but I prefer to wait and see what actually happens and whether my sources are correct!

I hate surprises

Ruben Wiki was in Belle vue car park the other day.

BRING KORKI BACK IS WHAT I SAY. HE GAVE HIS HEART TO THE TRIN !!!

Jarred Hickey is unattached, plus he fits the NGBC criteria, he's big and australian!

Thats it big and fat and cant run thats how i like them they are the best kind of props like Kyle Bibb big and fat and cant run they are the kind that fit the bill what we need. Doesn't matter if they aren't in shape or they can't run hard, just aslong as they are big and fat they are the type we need at the TRIN !

I can't understand how a bit of speculation about a list of names has made some people so negative!

The names I've had mentioned to me have both been talked about on here at great length already, so there's no mystery involved; both are seasoned, out and out props and either one would add value to our pack - both together would be an outright coup.
