Wakefield Trinity Outgoing: Jowitt, Walmsley, Tchamambe, Tate, Scott, Lino, High, Williamson, Smoothy, Nikotemo, Pitts, Incoming:Tuivasa-Sheck, McCormack, Litten, Teague, Guler To my memory, I believe that’s correct, however that’s 11 Superleague squad players out and only 5 in! The squad is light on numbers and short of cover at Halfback and Second Row. Surely there must be some business to be done yet?

Farnworth at Full Back is an interesting choice, there are some rumours that should he go to the Roosters he will be Tedesco’s successor in that position. It’s not unprecedented is it, Inglis was a Full Back/Centre/Wing/Stand Off, Mitchell is a Centre/Full Back and there are a number of other non World Class players who’ve filled the same positions. If England are struggling for a top quality Full Back, with Welsby having back to back poor seasons, Ashall-Bott breaking his ribs in his last game, AJ Brimson looking like he’s being released by his club then perhaps Farnworth is the answer. If Farnworth were to move to Full Back we have a number of options for both Centre Positions, Wardle, Hanley, Handley & Billy Smith so plenty of size and quality available. 1. Farnworth 2. Young 3. Smith 4. Wardle 5. Johnstone Thats a physically huge, fast yet quality Three Quarter line

It’s also busy all the time, I must have been 20 times, different days, different times and everytime it’s been busy. It was also used as a fanzone for the Football World Cup and there must have been 300 people there for the England games. Its been a massive success

The investments being made by Matt Ellis and the other members of the Ellis family are prudent, well thought out and strategic, they’re not just throwing money about haphazardly. They have wisely invested in the coaching and staffing personnel, we now have experts in their respective fields informing future plans and further investments. E.g. John Bastian and Simon Bell consulting on how the Youth System should evolve in order to become the best in Rugby League or the obvious one, Ste Mills driving our player recruitment by scouring the world for players with huge potential who just need an opportunity to reach it! The business acumen is there in abundance already and that’s what’s informing the restructure of things like our merchandising, The Coach House, hospitality and events staging. Even the stadium redevelopment is numbers driven with an eye on maximising the revenue from new stands and dictates when those stands have enough demand to get built. The new Training Facility is an investment in all of the above! World Class Quality facilities will help maximise the performances of our current players, they will help to convince future targets that Wakefield Trinity are a serious contender, they will attract the best Youth Players to the club. All of this will manifest itself in the performances of our teams which will in turn will drive greater attendances, demand for hospitality and the desire to Sponsor and Partner with the Club. So right now I can see that losses are well thought out and part of the strategic plan for the future of a club that’s heading in the right direction and which one day will wash its own face in terms of its finances.

Well, you’ve just seen Tom Johnstone go head to head with Matty Ashton, so which one are you selecting!

Absolutely pathetic, petulant and infantile governance at all levels of Rugby Union in those days, are they really any better now! All the more appalling because everyone knew their players were being rewarded for playing, if not with money then in other ways.

2023 average attendance for all Superleague matches was 4,320 2026 average attendance for all Superleague matches was 8,717 202% of the 2023 average up by 4,397 a game

If York had picked up all the departing Wakefield players, then combined with their other new signings and existing squad they’d be right up there. 1. Jowitt 2. Tate 4. Scott 5. Walmsley 7. Lino 9. Doyle 12. Nikotemo 13. Pitts Lolesio - Possibly

Yeah, but let’s also remember that Wane put faith in misfiring mavericks like Welsby and Credit in the Bank players such as Watkins, Bateman and Walmsley. Let’s hope Brian McDermott has a clearer head, less fogged up by memories of defeats and the emotional damage they caused him.

Let’s not forget that the last time Wakey played Wigan in a knockout game they only lost by 4 points and Wigan scored 14 points while Trinity were down to 12 players The last time Wakey played Leeds in a knockout game, Trinity won

Wakefield had to reduce the size of the pitch a few years ago because it was illegally big.

The Wakefield pitch is as big as its legal for it to be, the maximum size any pitch can be so what are you talking about.

Trinity 20 v 16 Wire

Other than the Wigan match, Trinity fans have travelled in large numbers everywhere they’ve gone this year.

Said about 2 years ago that Cam was drifting through his career and not hitting the potential he had as a kid, he needed to get serious and sort his conditioning out which looking at him he seems to have done that. He’s now showing t,he sort of form and ability that made him so sought after when he was at Cas Panthers. Turning out to be an amazing signing by Wakefield Trinity
