Any truth in trueman signing for Wakefield this week then been loaned back for a month

Would only mean we have a half sorted for next season, but we've not had a sniff about a new half apart from Lam

It’s absolute rubbish as usual.

why would wakey sign him mid season then loan him back? Usual nonsense

Got told the same at weekend , but didn’t believe it or could see why it would happen until the end of the season .

Still think we could be making an error, gambling on Lam, which probably won't happen.

Means we have to use a quota spot to replace him, which is always a gamble anyway.

Keep Trueman and have 2 quota spots left for a centre and forward.

Think it's too late now though.

I had heard something along those lines a couple weeks back however i really couldn't see it or the point of the deal either.

I don't expect to be seeing him in a black and white shirt next year, mind.

maybe catalans cant afford abdul's food bill so letting him go early?

Abdull been given a weight target to be at for start of pre season, personal trainer sorted for him too. Got to be clauses built into his contract relating to fitness levels

won't do us a lot of good if he doesn't meet them though. He clearly has no personal discipline when it comes to eating

He's been overweight to varying degrees throughout his career. He'll be 29 next season and has never addressed it in fact this season he looks even worse. Unless the personal trainer is with him 24hrs a day it's not going to make any difference. There's no doubt he is a talented player but is he worth the risk.

I'd say no if he's our main half backnsigning, particularly if trueman goes. Abdul and cust give me no confidence at all. Well be lucky if they play half a dozen games together

I get a feeling that Cartwright will either get him in shape or he’ll once again be shipped out.
I’d like to think that Abdul is fully aware of what is and isn’t expected re his weight & fitness and the club will have already spoken to him about it when pre and post his signing.

Problem there is if he's shipped out, it'll be another season of disruption as we're missing a marquee player and key pivot. Given the failures of this season, next season will be a make or break season for the club, many fans are deciding to give the club another chance with a seemingly new start under Cartwright and Myler, but get it wrong with releasing players early into the season again and the knock on effect that has on results on the pitch and many fans may walk away for good

Don’t know why but when I read your posts, they remind me of the the famous Hawaii 50-0 final.

I get what you’re saying and agree to some degree but I’d like to think that the club have put some onus on Jordan himself in his contract that if he doesn’t meet the fitness & weight required by the club as a pro player then he faces penalties or cancellation of contract with no payout etc.
I’d also like to think that Jordan himself knows it’s pretty much last chance saloon too so will be determined to turn up to the start of pre season in shape. Think Cartwright will certainly have the right approach in keeping players disciplined in term of what they have to do and standards that are to be expected annd achieved each and every day etc.

If you guys can persuade Wakefield to take Trueman and his marquee wages off your hands that would be a big plus on your part.

You would then be able to offer more than anyone else would for Lam.

We probably have already offered more than anyone for Lam but would he leave his dad and a pretty good team who are levels above us at the minute, if we can sell him a rebuild around him and a show him major ambition then maybe but I can't see him leaving Leigh anytime soon.

You have and Lam has accepted. Over a 4 year deal it is life changing money for a Rugby League player too good to turn down.

However Hull must get rid of Trueman to make it happen.

Back after a period of reflection but a different approach this time eh Bob? like it

Bob setting us up for failure

I really can't see it, I'd put my mortgage on him staying at Leigh, that sort of signing just doesn't seem realistic.

On the plus side if he does sign we'll have Lam kebab in the halves next year.

Couple of things.

Where have you heard that Lam has accepted. And a 4 year deal?

Also, apparently Truey to Wakey is done.
