The squad depth at Huddersfield is pretty insane. I’m really surprised with the two guys leaving our place on the basis of wanting to play games. It feels like they’ll both have more players in front of them but good luck to them, I hope it works out.

What do I know?

Genuine question what’s the thoughts on Wardle?

You have seen him, seemed positive.

Well.........okaaaaaaaaayyyy........so now where do we go. Not a massive fan of Gildart to be honest (if we are trying to get him) But there's no other English centres about that i can think of??

It really is!
I think if they are patient it will pay off. Players like Wilson, trout, hewitt English have been patient and taken their chances well to keep more established players out of the side. It shows that there is a willingness to give the younger guys a chance if they show the right attitude. For halsall especially with Leroy and naiqama at the back end of their careers he is likely to get chances. Jack bibby may struggle as we already have an excellent young pack signed up for some time, Wilson, English, rushton greenwood trout and Seb has just resigned too.

Pity you couldn’t keep hold of Dom Williams

Who is Dom Williams? Or did you mean Young?

I'm a bit disappointed we didn't manage to sign Wardle, I suppose with it dragging on it wasnt going to happen. Gildart would be fine for us at centre and I'd like to see us bring longstaff back in to the fold to cover centre until wrench is back.

I think Gildart and drinkwater would be really good additions for next seasons squad.

That’s the one, Dom Williams was a mate of mine at school way back!

Gildart is a classy centre, he’s not a big lad, more like a cross between centre and to a lesser extent stand-off. What he lacks in size, he makes up with footwork and handling.

It’s still a rumour, but the halfback chase is definitely on.
We could get by successfully without signing a top centre, we have players who can fill it, Ratchford easily. With the pack we have assembled, we don’t need the worlds best outside backs, just them that can run and pass.

Frustratingly, we’re still short of a complete squad, despite all of the upheaval. Granted Wrench is an option, but surely if he was a realistic chance of first choice centre at the point of bringing in Wardle, you would have stuck him in instead at centre and given him 6 months of development in position. We could have had a stable left side, with Currie, Williams and Ashton being picked consistently.

But now, we’re scratching around for starting players mid way through October. It seems a really shortsighted approach. We’ll end up in a bidding war with Leigh for players now, whereas we could have had this locked up months ago.

I like wrench he has great potential for me. You got to trust your young players, it seems to be something wire have struggled with and the daft thing is, wire have a history of signing very established experienced “star” players which is exactly the type of environment these young players should thrive in.
Dean, wrench and Thewlis for me are three standout youngsters at wire- but seem to have come in for a lot of criticism
