With AG stating he will go to full salary cap or as near as damn to it can we please stop recruiting poor overseas players. Been following trin many years now and by god seen some poor overseas players down at belle vue. Dont get me wrong been some good uns as well but with new era and AG arrival i do hope we get the overseas recruitment right this time

Get Witt and Chan down here

I agree with both of these posts. We need to get rid of the likes of Tadulala, Smith, Tony, Korkidas, etc and start signing quality overseas stars (like Solomona, Betham, Tronc, etc). If we sign Witt, O'Hara, Withers and Chan then I would be impressed! I'd also like Ah Van to join, and maybe someone like Lauaki to add some fire up front. These may not be big name overseas signings but they are realistic for us atm, and they are much better than Smith and co.

I agree with most of that apart from getting rid of Korki and signing Lauaki?

Personally, Im a fan of Korki, but he's apparently signed for Quins aswell, so we do need to replace him...

Fair enough, but we need to sign the likes of Andy Coley or Garreth Carvell; Lauaki would just give opposition possesion

a bit harsh on korki, he has been a consistent performer for how many years now? and always served this club very well.

imo some of the props above would offer little more and command bigger salaries.

the likes of amor,johnson,howarth should be our first priority signings and on as long a contract as we can.

korki loves our club and wanted to be here, unlike our coach.

With rumours of players already signed for other clubs,assuming we've not given other clubs permission to talk to them,wouldn't that be classed as tapping up?

Misi Talapapa (almost certainly spelt wrong) at Sheffield Eagles?

The main thing is to spend wisely and not like a pools winner.
The key to success is quality and now that we can offer some security to any players that we are trying to sign.
We need to keep away from the group of players that only have 1 or 2 seasons left in them (with the exception of Glen Morrison, who has been tremendous for us)

Liked the look of bryn power from fev tbh.

Powell?

He looks like a good finisher, but Cockayne is probably better. I'd also take Liam Finn from Fev, and that Ben Gledhill played alright the other night. Wonder where he came from?

Too much of a hothead for my liking, would spend half his time in the bin if he played for Wakey!

We need to sign quality overseas players who are going to help along the young players not players who are currently playing in the Championship.

If i was in charge of recruitment our overseas quota for next season would consist of a half back a prop a hooker and Glen Morrison. A half who can play alongside Moore and also help him. A hooker who can help Widie and Davey develop and a prop of a similar quality to Tronc who will give us the go forward that we have lacked since he left.

We need to find a coach first. Then he can bring in the players that he thinks will do the job.

"Ben Gledhill played alright the other night. Wonder where he came from?" - Castleford Tigers.

Where is the official announcement that any players are leaving.

Totally agree. The coaching decision should start the whole process. Once that is sorted, it's then down to finance and ambition. Do we have either? There is no reason why we shouldn't have. 

We have to break the mould of signing relative unknown overseas players. From a marquee NRL players perspective, there are only so many overseas places available to play for the clubs in super league. And hell, it's not like the NRL is short of marquee players who look to move to these shores. So why shouldn't we be A.an attractive option for these players, and B.going out of our way to attract them? 

Decisions, decisions. Could make for quite the interesting evening at the fans forum... on August 2nd... at Belle Vue... doors open 7.00pm*


*shameless plug...

Westgate wolves I believe

Correct he's a Westgate product and a Horbury lad.

Is that the same event which allows fans to get a comprehensive update and ask key personnel questions for a couple of quid which is then reinvested into the club???

any names come to light yet whos coming

Is that somewhere in Horbury, Wakefield or is it a junior team at Westgate Redoubt?

I believe entry is free, although if you are not already a member of the Supporters Trust then it would be a good night for you to join.

(Another shameless plug!!)
