Top six 2005 - Trinity.

Re: Clear out time : Fri Jul 30, 2021 10:27 pm  
I do think there needs to be a shift in the personnel at the club and something significant.

There’s a few decisions recently that have been a surprise to me. Mainly the 2 years extension of Ashurst who has been great for us but his recent form in 2020/2021 has been scratchy at best. We have Pitts (who has been good imo) and Tanginoa who imo should be the starting second rowers next year. One year I could probably understand but two seems a stretch and again sentimental from outwards looking in. Maybe it’s on a reduced rate then possibly it’s not so bad.

Crowther is another for me that seemed strange. Didn’t perform well at 9 (admirable he filled in) and then proceeded to get a long term injury. Also I think he’s solid but nothing more. Seemed a strange decision to offer a contract in my eyes. Hope he proves me wrong ofcourse. I want nothing more than trinity lads to become stars!

If I’m being blunt we are an ageing team In the forwards and are in desperate need of some forwards in their prime years. We really need investment in the front row and the 9 position. 2 good 9’s and 2/3 good props are definitely needed.

If Chester is to stay (I hope he succeeds) then the investment and the quality in the playing squad needs to increase. A difficult task indeed with limited funds.

It's a pointless thread if you are not considering who is in contract.
But if we are doing it, I'm amazed hardly anyone mentions our current international centre. He carries the team often. Vastly under rated by our fans.

Not me. Said it a bit back that Lyne has been consistently good for us over a prolonged period. He’s the ultimate professional imo and has achieved everything through hard work.

Liam Kay - Retain
Jacob Miller - Retain
Mason Lino - Retain
David Fifita - Release
Kyle Wood - Retain

Matty Ashurst - Retain
Kelepi Tanginoa - Retain
Joe Westerman - Gone

Brad Walker - Retain
Yusuf Aydin - Retain
Lee Kershaw - Retain
Ryan Hampshire - Release
Connor Bailey - Retain
Ollie Greensmith - Retain
Harry Bowes - Retain
Dane Windrow - ?

The above list does not take into account those players who have signed new deals already. Personally, I would have released Crowther and given Ashurst a one year deal. Big rebuild required. Time to shed the dead wood.


Release Johnstone but retain Kay? Surely that’s a wind up?

Completely pointless, too many fans live in a fantasy land where they think it’s as simple as career mode on fifa.

When he's fit he will walk into the England side regardless of who he plays for. That's how good he is.

WAKEFIELD RECIEVE FRANCHISE 22ND JULY FOR WHAT ITS WORTH.


"This clubs going places"
'Gareth Ellis'

Re: Clear out time : Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:02 am  
Another year another identical post about separating the wheat from the chaff when in fact all we can afford is chaff!
The quality of personnel throughout the club has and will always boil down to finances as we all know.
For me Chris Chester and crew need to be replaced going forward they became stagnated a long time ago.
An younger Australian coach with a different mindset needs to be found and given a shot.
Wakefield are going to finally be weeded out by the RFL we’ve had plenty of time over the years to climb out of this toxic rut at the bottom of the table.
We have a relatively young team just a very odd mix of super league hanger onners.
