| Quote ="WakeyManDan8"Personally, I think that signing one big name player will do us the world of good. We have got to prioritise a half back and a prop, but bringing in someone like Tahu would make a real bold statement. The RFL need to know that we mean business, and I reckon Tahu could do this. We need to make clubs fear coming to Belle Vue, because they know they are going to face a very strong Wakefield team.'"
That is the point though. Buying one player won't make the team very strong and feared. It needs a couple of key players to do that.
So if we got Tahu but also a good quality SH and heavy duty props then ok, but him on his own no.

I agree.

| Rangi Chase or Danny Brough would be a good start.

As was said this evening, let's stop looking to the past, it's all we've done since the sixties!
Let's invest our money in the region that made these players & produce some more! With the silver lining being we can improve the senior package now and grow with the talent, not export it to the benefit of other regions- who take the credit for this "golden production".
Pay the best wages to scholarship players, give them the best coaches, in proven academies- with proven pathways to successful SL teams!
It's not as if we're Huddersfield! We have a wealth of talent in our region! We produce the best RL players in the world-FACT!

| GET ELLIS BACK!
If there aren't any quality props or halves available presently, nothing wrong with a flagship signing in another position to ignite the terraces. But I do think we're going to find ourselves in need of more size and experience up front and direction around the park when we play stronger teams with stronger packs and smarter kicking games.
All I know after watching the Catalans highlights is that we look hungry, fast and incisive out wide and looked like we could score from anywhere. But if we get into a real wrestle I do worry. So is Tahu a good player? Oh yes. Is he the right player? Hmm.

| Listening to JK last night we will strengthen but it will be when the right players are available. Most players are contracted up but hopefully some will become available as the season goes on.
When questioned about Tahu I read the runes to mean we wont be going for him,

Something along the lines of if quality players become available we will look at them but it takes a long time to get Aussies over here so not always the best course of action to take. It sounded like they were not trying to sign him but at the same time they didn't rule it out.
