Squad numbers mean nothing at the end of the day but Gaskell wouldn’t be my starting no. 6.

I already got one wrong but I’ll predict…

1. Jowitt
2. Taufua
3. Hall
4. Lyne
5. Murphy
6. Smith
7. Lino
8. Whitbread
9. Hood
10. Bowden
11. Ashurst
12. Proctor
13. Crowther

14. Tanginoa
15. Atoni
16. Butler
17. Kay

I’d agree Poching was still the coach based on last year. But Mash is the new coach with new ideas and maybe he is the one to reignite Gaskells undoubted talent if he can find a way to get Lino and Gaskill to play together then I’m fine with that.

All he needs is to find a way to compensate for his loss of pace by harnessing his vast experience. Easy said but that’s what good coaches do.

I got told a lot of bits of info today that I can’t pass on, all of which I felt was positive.

But one I think I can reveal is Lineham has lost a substantial amount of weight and is one of the top trainers at the club. He’s in superb shape and raring to go.

Now I know training is not the same as playing, but one things for sure is that if you don’t train then you will never play well.

He lost a fair few extra pounds towards end of last season. If he’s continued with that and worked hard on his fitness then the guy should be encouraged. That’s good news and hopefully it transitions to the pitch. There’s certainly some competition for a wing spot with Murphy, Taufua, Kersh and Lineham!

I really think Gaskell is excellent centre cover. He has talent and did not look out of place towards the end of last season. He's a good squad man to have.

The suspence is killing me!!

Who's gonna be #27

Corey Hall secures number 3, well deserved after last season IMO.

101 after the room he should be in.

Hope thats a bit "Jokey"
TBH, he starts with a clean slate for me.
But would be surprised to say the least if he got number 5.

After the Salford away game this season, I was so angry with his performance I, like many trinity fans said he should never play for us again. However, if he genuinely has worked hard to regain his fitness and desire to retain his place at Trinity, then I can give him another chance whilst I will remember the old adage “Fool me once”.

Sunday must be a 'day off' for the squad number reveal.

Dragging it out even longer!
Spreading the positivity out even thinner!

Reece has the 4 shirt announced earlier

Now Reece as 4 shirt will be interesting to see who gets 6 shirt Do not think Langi as signed to be a bit player

Lineham 5

Second choice backline

Murphy
Langi
Gaskell
Kershaw

Looking strong

If Murphy isn’t going to commit past this year than it’s the right move. I listened to the SMTMUK podcast and he made reference to Murphy not being at Wakefield past this year.

Shocked at Murphy not been 5 Hope it is not down to agents in is ear

Shirt numbers don’t really mean anything these days, didn’t Big Dave have number 35/ throughout his Trinity playing days. Just like big Dave, perhaps Murphy wants to wear his original playing number.

Wow across social media Wakefield fans find another new low to have pop it's now shirt numbers! Who cares what number a player has the numbers are meaningless unlike the days when you had 1-13 on the pitch

Are you for real?

It's just a number ffs, he's not back in anywhere.

Dave Fifita was 35 last year and played virtually every game.

Pathetic.

Quality trolling from the club!

Shirt numbers mean naff all. Whoever performs will be in the team. Also with Saints sniffing does anyone really think Murphy will hang around? I'd be surprised if he does.
