In a BBC Leeds interview he states that he and his family are very happy in Wakefield and that he would like to sign a new contract when his current one expires, despite interest from Oz

That is great news and a good sign of how far the club has come.
Snap his hand off if you ask me.

Sounds positive!!

Sign him up now!

Wakefield's Dean Collis tells @BBCLeeds he'd like to stay with the Wildcats beyond his current deal which expires at the end of this season.

I thought his contract ran until the end of 2014? Hope its not a 'Steve Snitch' situation!

Either way get him signed up!

Sign him up! Can I also have a link to interview please

Hope so,cracking player a pleasure to watch

It was in a news/sports bulletin, but I think the full interview will probably be used to preview our game in their Friday night live rl show

Yep a class centre.
Much of his play reminds me of Martin Gleeson.
That is meant as a compliment.

Know what you mean but I would say more like Matt Gidley

carry him too a pen and make him sign best centre we have had in years when fully fit still dont think we use him enough though

Agree. Will we ever do that with any centre? If we had Inglis and were down to 12 men we'd still probably pile it up the middle!

I think we have improved and are using our centres more effectively compared to a few seasons past.

Collis is a quality centre and has that ability to turn on the pace and beat a man. Be happy to see him stay.

Good to see he is happy at wakefield. Who wouldn't be with this fine weather

Gets my vote, a pleasure to watch.

He's majestic when he opens up and gets on the outside of his opposite number - strong too, with a good fend and offload game.

I sincerely hope we get him signed, as I'm sure other SL coaches have spotted his class.

best centre we've have for years, great news! Cant remember anybody else we've had in centre with the ability open up the defence like him since probably Sid Domic....??

He runs out of contract next year (2014) So he'll be turning on 29 that year I'd give him another 2 year deal and if he keeps playing like he is now give him another one because he is a quality centre.

Well if hes happy at the club why not hes playing well enough and I still think we will see him get even better.

Agree in the main, a very good centre and I don't remember one at Belle Vue for a very long time who had the same amount of class. Runs cracking lines, pacey, great fend as you say and not too shabby in defence either.

The only part of the post I would take slight issue is the offload game - in my opinion this is the part of the game he is missing and it is this that "holds him back" from going on to bigger and better things. In a perverse way, it's probably a good thing for us that he doesn't have one because if he did I reckon he would be too difficult and/or expensive to keep hold of for us.

Fingers crossed we keep hold of him, glad to see him enjoying things cos quality classy players like that don't come along every day.

Seriously



I suppose we all see it differently but I see no issue there at all and neither does my friend and mentor Richard.

I spoke with Richard Agar yesterday - he said that won't be making a decision on Dean's future until he's had chance to have a chat with Vastman.

I agree with the offload comment, sometimes the winger would be free if only he could get the pass out.

He's flown under my radar to be honest, steady away player who i've not yet seen stand out.

Really???

Not sure who you're watching but it doesn't appear to be Collis

Honestly, i think he gets bigged up a bit more than he deserves, I think he's ok but I haven't yet seen evidence of what makes people think he's amazing.

Sign him up ASAP. He's all class.
