More or less a new side!



I think we need a big prop. I thought Sykes went well vs Cas and I would replace Mellars with Collis when he's back fit.



Mellars has been a real let down for me so far this season, hope he can turn it around soon.

Front Row - Think Amor & Raleigh have been ok but the other 3 'props' (Wilkes, Southern & Johnson) have been inconsistent in recent weeks lacking real punch. Matt James needs to be introduced who is a genuine prop with Super League experience. Need to buy another prop also.



Hooker - Ellis needs more game time and we need to use Aiton at loose forward/second row. Wood needs to be used more for his utility value & impact from bench whereever the team is lacking on the day against the opposition (hooker/stand off/scrum half)



Our second row (Kirmond & Lauititi) are up to scratch but we need the latters impact from the bench and should use either Trout, Walshaw or Mariano to start with Kirmond,decision to be based on their current form.



Think Washbrook is doing ok.

Backs - Mellars to be dropped when Collis is fit to partner Sykes as no speed & ineffective,he's over 16 stone try him at second row?. Rest are ok but lacking confidence due to the pressure of no go forward from most of the pack who are either bust up or burnt out.

sick of staying it we only have ONE prop in the squad and that Amor the rest Wilkes included are back row forwards

This cant be sorted this season so we will just have to get on with it

Matt James is a prop ?

I thought Raleigh went down lack a sack of taties every time he took the ball up v Cas myself too. Fox and Cockaine make most of our yards!

to slim for me but its the new S.L. fowards or so i hear . all clubs need a paul round is that what your saying?

Agree completely. I think Mathers, Cockayne and Fox all did well with what they had against Cas, they took some punishment for our bad field position and letting Cas play in our own half for most of the game.

He is but does Agar even know hes a Wakefield player

If Agar got his way he wouldn't be.

We need Kirmond and Southern in the second row with Ali off the bench we also need another prop Amor as good as he is cant do it all for crying out loud give James a go or whats the use of bring him into the club.Wilkes and Johnson are second rowers as is Raleigh if it comes down to it.

Wilkes was a second rower about 10 years ago. He is now most-definitely a prop.

Agree so certain back rowers who have been tried to be converted to prop are now inconsistent so you bring in your other players you have highlighted as props such as Matt James. He's definately big enough at over 6ft and 16 1/2 stone and he's played there for Bradford, Harlequins & Barrow.



I hope James is in the 17 & rips it up against Leeds in front of his old Eastmoor & Harlequins coach McDermott. Its definately good motivation for him and to also prove a point to Agar in front of a big crowd





Raleigh took the ball up against Cas alot and played alot of game time and as had been said just one or two forwards like Amor,Aiton & Raleigh playing OK isn't enough in the WTW pack.



Everyone will have to be 100% including the bench and playing to their full potential to make it a game otherwise they will play us off the park.
