Dagger is a good SL quality full back who I personally think will cement his spot at 1 for Wakefield for the rest of the season in a move which may see Max when he returns move to 6 which would see a considerable upgrade on pace and strike in our backline.
He’s an Academy International fullback and a local junior.
Kay has been doing an admiral job as a stop gap tackling and catching high balls but he isn’t a pivot and the fullback position in the modern game is one of the most creative outlets in the team.
Dagger provides that outlet of a creative pivot playing at second receiver, he has natural pace and evasion skills.
He’s behind Coote who is widely regarded as the best organisational fullback in the league however when he has played this season he has gone very well.
I appreciate he is going to get panned should we lose against Saints this week but in reality getting him in now gives us an opportunity to get him more acclimatised before the Cas game the week after which is obviously huge.
I appreciate I’m in the minority but taking the 2023 season in isolation I think this is a good move.
I agree with your assessment Jonh had it been the close season I would have been disappointed as Corey looked pretty good last year. This season however he not hit the form of last year he may do for Rovers but he has been a shadow of last season. We have some good young centres waiting in the wings so I am sure they will be putting it in during training. It also means our centres are pretty settled as Lyne and Langi pending anymore injuries.
I would like us to get a forward in who can attack more our backrow forwards are all too defensive fo me, we could do with a Westerman type loose.
), Dagger is a good signing for you guys i reckon in a position that you need.
