If we were short i'd get it but with Bowden due back and Butler crying out for more chances we have enough numbers. Anybody who comes in has to be better than what we already have and this lad is no better than those already here.

Mr Carter says he is looking to do another swop deal for a middle. It begs the question who would the potential swop club want from us?. Also what about a creative half back. Surely we need that more than a middle?

Well the swap dealing I am hearing sounds better than the last one in my opinion. So finally a bit of good news if true

Warrington on the hunt for a forward after Mikeale leaving imminently.

Tanginoa does hold good value if the deal is right for trinity. Certainly opens up room for talks.

Go on then spill those beans!

Warrington & Wigan are the only possibles i see now really due to possible availability and quota spaces etc.

Yes and would bring a prop our way and free up a quota spot. Icing on the cake would then be a decent stand off to fill free quota spot. If Carter could pull that one off I would be the first to buy him a pint, not a ground prices though, that would be pushing it

Probably looking at Bullock or Philbin then. Bullock is out injured for another month i think so maybe the latter.

Riley Dean back at Wire isn't he?

He played for Fev last week.

Didn't realise that.

Saw Tanginoa randomly in yeadon morrisons Carpark, waiting about.

Went back for a week as they didn't want him cup tied.

You'd like to think being at the club for 10 years, we'd finally get hold of this recruitment lark. Too many recent years we've started off on a shoe string (understood) to then use the strategy of bringing in a little bit better quality to save the season. This year, I think it may catch up on us.

I can't comment on Mick's business dealings but I do know him off the field (not great, but well enough) to find him a really decent man.

I don't agree with a lot of the decisions he makes at the club, but it's not my call, or my money and I won't hold that against him on my personal judgement of him away from rugby.

Everything crossed we get out of this mess.

Was he doing doughnuts or eating them?

Doesn’t Powell live out that way

Not sure but genuinely looked like he was waiting to be picked up. He was on the phone, when I parked up he was gone.

Last I knew, he lived out Ponte/Cas way, I believe

He used to live in Pontefract, but I think that he has moved on.

Breaking news-"Trinity forward kidnapped by Wire coach"

Well that’s seven games with seven defeats. We have failed to score in over 50% of the games and are averaging 6 points scored and 31 against. I maybe wrong but this suggests that this season we have multiple failings. If we lose on Thursday I cannot see where we will pick up a win especially if we continue with the strategy of bringing players in last minute on loan for two weeks. I guess the good thing is they have no game plans to learn and are not handicapped by experiencing our coaching strategy.
We have now reached full panic mode known as the “shuffling the chairs on the Titanic” by bringing in the MC’s multi player Swap Shop, silly jumpers at the ready. I can see them receiving calls wanting to swap an unwanted prop for one of our players.

All very depressing as a long standing fan ,who’s only way of supporting the club is standing on the terraces and backing them as hard as it’s getting . Looking at the sky pundits smug sing faces showing the tries last night really got to me , we are the butt of RL at present . Hindsight is a wonderful thing and it’s getting increasingly evident that the combination of rookie coach and a weak squad is the perfect storm ,couple with a not too shabby injury list . Would a director of rugby have been a prudent investment, to shed some experience and a calming influence at the club . It’s the easiest thing in the world to see the problems we face ,but coming up with credible solutions within our constraints is going to be incredibly tough .

You're right and to be honest we've had it coming for the past couple of seasons.
it's the old chicken and egg thing I'm afraid. The supporters won't support until there is at least a competitive team and there won't be a competitive team until the support increases. Michael Carter has repeatedly said if the gate increased he'd spend more.
So, until that changes or the mythical (in Wakefield anyway) sugar daddy arrives it's status quo.

ashton simms on his way to you guys

We'd probably get it wrong and sign Joan Sims.

Aren't they a similar age ???
