Don't think Taylor would get a visa with his problems in Aus.

Not sure if Taylor is what Trinity need brilliant in patches but gives far too many pens away and the king on the knock on

Should fit in well then, especially when he comes on at the restart after a try has been scored.

Ben Harrison has a testimonial year coming up next season, so can't see him turning that down to come to Wakey.
More likely to be Cox.
Crabtree rumoured to be on his way out of Shudds, along with a few others.
Kopczak would be my choice of prop but I think we will have to get in the queue and try to pick up the player who may get displaced by said player.
And Masila would replace A.Tupou.

Hope you weren't suggesting we go for Crabtree

Think he maybe giving us the benefit of his wisdom, commentating on the BBC!
Dixon at Leigh looks a good size. Liked him when he was at Salford.

Thank god for that.

Crabtree hasn't been the same since he was dumped on his backside by Paul Johnson I think it was at their place a few years back.

Crabtree - I hope not!

Out of the back rowers mentioned Josh Jones or Murdoch Masilla would be a great replacement for A.Tupou and possibly on less money...Soward must be achievable surely on a 2 year deal? ......interesting article below. www.totalrl.com/leighs-promotion ... xt-season/

Yes i think Jones would be a good replacement.

For me Soward would be a better organising option than Campese or even Brough.

He maybe losing pace but could maybe organise from 9 with a younger half back such as Brierley, OBrien or Kelly to partner Miller

Think if we get another half, Finn to move to hooker, with Moore off the bench.
Peter Wallace hasn't done too bad at 9 since moving from 7.

No but maybe another from Huddsersfield heading this way though depending on how the middle 8's pan out. If not it will likely be one from Salford. Kelly deal is done and dusted by the sounds. If we can agree a pay off with Anthony Tupou then we are chasing an aussie prop. So a bloke who once walked his dog in the same park as a bloke that walks past belle vue a couple of times a week says anyway.

www.loverugbyleague.com/news_235 ... field.html Don't know on this one. 33 years old, and spent last few months on the sidelines. If Kelly comes to us, we are full on the cap, so someone else will be making way. Maybe Tupou, or Fifta, not staying. Any thoughts?

Thats the aussie prop i mentioned last night if we can shift Tupou. For me he has been a very good player but is past his best and injuries are catching up with him. Just 11 games this year and 15 the previous season for the Raiders. He'd turn 34 halfway through next season and has a lot of miles on the clock, it would be a risk.

That's what I though Sacred Cow.

Personally, it's a no from me. I think we have to use our quota spots wisely.

For me, if Tupou does go, then that would leave two available. I would say a quality organising half back, and a good ball handling back rower. Potentially, if Fifita is staying, that is Anderson's replacement sorted, so I would say it would be only Scruton that needs replacing. Kopzcak has been mentioned, along with Cox. Either of these two, I think would be ok

Cox would be my pick - he's one of them raw-boned, difficult forwards, who always looks up for the rough stuff. I don't know what the stats say, but Kopzcak appears to be less effective.

Cox is ok but i'd personally probably go Kopzcak, he's a quality forward and is also something we lack a lot of which is a leader. I wouldn't be surprised to see him here next year if Salford drop.

I actually like them both, the way Cox ran through us a few times at Belle Vue earlier this season, in the game we won.

They will both bring size, both similar in size to England.

Kopzak has a lot more super league experience, including playing for Wales, working with Kear, of which he has recently been their captain. This could be a good shout as we need leaders on the field

I think Kopzcak has Trinity written all over him. We really need a few players with true grit who play to the final whistle win or lose and this lad has it in spades. Not quite international standard and not got a big enough reputation to attract the fancy dan clubs but on the top level for us with the added advantage that for once it's a player with a bit of size rather than the players who normally fill that role who have the heart of a lion but are always "not quite big enough".

Probably end up at Cas.

How about this as a thought.

We also need a back rower, how about bringing both Cox and Kopzak in, and moving Mika Simon into the back row. I seem to recall him playing there a lot when he first came, and thought he played well there. He would add a bit of size and punch, and maybe not get as battered himself, as he seems to have done in the second half of this season.

Also, I have just read the following on the Love Rugby League website.

Stupid move?
Which NRL player missed a meeting with the Wakefield coach, and knocked back offers with two other Super League clubs, and is now on the hunt for a new club in 2017? This player is trying to a find a way back into Super League, but could find his advances thwarted after burning so many bridges. Such a shame, but some never learn.

Wonder which player it is that they are talking about. Sam Williams maybe, given the sudden U-turn in signing him

The media touting David Shillington our way......linked with Hull KR previously......33 years of age and recently crocked...

Have to say Kopzcak is a good shout. Seen him a few times this season and always takes some stopping and seems to do lots of encouraging on the field.

Kopjak, josh Jones, Kelly, few NFL possibles,

If he missed a meeting with chris chester! He must be playing over here on loan from a nrl club! I would say he's playing at salford while his other brothers are playing for south sydney.

Griffin at Salford would be another to watch for?
