Doing what??

Cameron Phelps has been quality this year and I will be sorry to see him go.

We definately look a better side defensively when he plays and he brings a different game to our attack, as a very good link player.

Tongia will be staying on so Phelps no thank you, Obst I could live with if there's a very good 6 to go with him, with Wildie, Hyde and Moore getting more game time next year

Signing players from your former club (yer mates) was something JK took a lot of flak for so why oh why do we expect RA to sign half the hull team?????????? Lets face it Hull will only release who they want when they want.

It might possibly come across as a bit patronizing that you think Wakefield would take your young players on loan to help them (the player) develop, rather than give their own kids a shot - they're not a farm team, after all.

All due respect to the Championship clubs, but if Lynn (sp?) isn't good enough for Hull (yet), he might be good enough for that level. Wakefield got a franchise.

The rest of the list are well-liked but fairly unthreatening. Obst is good, but that is about freeing up his quota spot as cheaply as possible. Though he is rumoured to be due for an UK passport.

One consolation for Wakey fans is that Agar's 'failures' were partly down to these sort of perceptions leading to unrealistic expectations. All IMO, and I'm naturally biassed too, of course.

I concur.

IF tongia isnt staying, id be tempted to enquire about amos roberts if hes fit before phelps. Not sure if hes in wigans plans but hes not played for a while ( i could be wrong though )

Re: Players coming over from Hull : Fri Sep 09, 2011 4:18 pm  

I'd be very surprised if Tongia isn't staying.

Re: Players coming over from Hull : Fri Sep 09, 2011 4:21 pm  

Thought I read roberts was available. Was in cracking form pre injury last year. If he is capable of regathering that then could be an option. Hopefully a few additions to come and a few of quality.
