on todays form Tronic will do for me

Welcome to the forum Mrs Tronc, your little lad did fantastic again today - for the 3rd week on the trot. You must have fed him his own weight in vegimite each week to get him so big and tough.

Our best man today, although Broughy will get the praise, looking forward to seeing again in 2 weeks time leading the charge.

Shane Tronc was awesome in the first-half of the defeat of Leeds, repeatedly getting his offloads out of the tackle.

A stand-out overseason Super League signing for 2010 on that showing.

You are more than welcome for those kind words my friend. Hope there's more performances like today's to come from Shane.

Signing of the close season for SL.
No doubt about it. When you consider how light up some clubs are you can guess there will be more than a few coaches wondering why they didn't get him instead of poor old relegation escapologists Wakey.







Well done John and Beans, Well done Shane! Keep it up guys!

Couldn't make the game today, but due back in "The Shake" on Weds, think I might opt for "Tronc 8" on the back on my shirt.

You could always lift the ban on Marsden Giant he should know the answer.

Massive game from Tronc today. I would like to see his stats and compare them to Korky's. Both equally important on the pitch. Tronc doesn't run in all guns blazing like korky but he looks as strong as a ox and as effective but in a different way.

don't forget the offloads ! excellent signing, well done jk..shame we couldn't afford the pig eastwood!

A Wakefield legend in the making, no doubt about that.

agreed, it say to me thats its based on solidity and its not some fluke!

er latu's are great too!!.......Al!!!

That first page shows me that Korki hasn't missed a tackle or made an error - in 3 games!!!!



He has given 4 penalties away though!



Ridiculous stats - the pair of 'em - 12 offloads!!!!

the korki must go thred will be started by 8 o clock, hes a liability etc etc

latusa re equally staggering and thats down to the coaches making him play in a different, highly effective way.

Like i said i'm fine with the NEW Latu, though it as to be said he did rather cock up yesterday a couple of times, still no ones perfect

Sorry Mick, you waiting for a reply to that?

TRONC awesome !!!

amazing work ethic
great offloading ability
not missed a tackle
carrys ball
makes yards for fun
hard begger

AMAZING !!!! Great business JOHN !

The principal of what you say is correct - but the stats on the SL site suggest he's missed about 7 tackles to date. Not really surprising when you see the work he's got through!

Last two games he's set the game-plan for the opposition in the first 10 minutes. They KNOW it takes 3 or 4 to stop him, they KNOW he can pop out an ofload at any time so they defend much more conservatively - and that gives BJ and Danny space to weave their magic!!

Tronc is like a glacier - he don't move quick, but when he hits something he just keeps on rolling.

How true wakeyrule. A lot of lighter or smaller front rowers have to phsyc themselves into a frenzy and hit the line at a million miles an hour. Can be really spectacular when they are on but difficult to do every week. Also they are usually prone to injury. Example Carl Webb and Mark O'Meally

Big front rowers like Tronc don't need to have their eyes spinning around in their head to make consistantly big metres. Example Steven Price, Petro Civineceva and Paul Rahihi. Thats just my theory.

(first time I have ever used a face thingy)

I am happy his offloads are working often eneogh to make them a positive. Sometimes Troncy can overdo it. Even so he delivers 150 metres a game and a lot of tackles so the coach and halves will probably forgive him.

I think you have a really well balanced team here. All the ingredients. Good Coach, good go forward, clever halves, outstanding kicking game. I think you can actally give this competition a really good shake.

(I love these little suckers)

If he makes me happy TRB you must know he must be good !

was surprised by his offload game on Sunday, it wasn't something i realised he had in his locker

he made two offloads in his first four drives at quins and both were successful. its an area we haven't always been strong in so its nice to see

Q. Why have the RLE -Fantasy League thing got Shane down for only £90 000???



A- Plays for Wakefield and if he'd of gone to Saints etc they would of doubled it!
