I like Tanginoa but only when he’s playing.
We can’t afford to have players off the field or part time on it ( Proctor) all the overseas players can go for me- let’s start again!

Got to admit all the overseas players have got to be( apart from Dave,) one of the worst bunch we have had in one season at Wakefield

I thought Langi was fine. Played well enough when someone could actually pass him tge ball in his actual position.
Proctor was a dud.
Atoni was a dud for most of the season
Tanginoa was injured
Taufua was a wasted signing
Lino has had good games but needed some help. Needed to be better
Obviously Dave was outstanding

If the French lads count then
Salabio wasn't on the field enough to know
Franco was a great find and I'd sign him.

And with all that in mind, our overseas signings need to be strong signings. It can make or break the season.

Let's hope JD and Dave can spot some talent for us.

All overseas plays apart from lino to depart
Butterworth released
Windrow gone
Kershaw to sign new deal
Carter to stay while transition completed around November time.
Big one Powell to be coach and if this is correct hopefully he is having some involvement in the squad he wants.

Not sure if Powell would come if he doesn't have some input into the squad. He signs players who he thinks will buy into his standards and that means talking to them first.

Assuming he is not operating in the background already?

The Powell rumour is quite strong.

I can't see it really but we'll find out soon enough.

I've heard that Ellis already his coach agreed and sorted for next season. Who that is, I've no idea.

I’m sorry but there should be no chance Mash is even considered for the job next year. We’ve just had our worst ever season and been relegated.. Powell on the other hand would be a great bit of business imo

Could well be, I've not heard a name at all. But Carter's interview on Friday was hardly a vote of confidence for Mash when asked if he was staying.

Didn't Powell just oversee Warrington's worst ever season?
