Team for next season

[Wakefield Ram]

As players get signed pick your own team. Think they're might be a couple of others already signed on for next season. Sure someone will put me right.

1 Joe Martin

2 Andy Gabriel

3 Jason Walton

4 Adam Ryder

5 Davy Dixon

6 Paul Sykes

7 Liam Finn

8 Tom Garratt

9. Dom Speakman

10 Martyn Reilly

11 Chris Annakin

12 Michael Knowles

13 Sonny Esslemont

14 Sam Day

15 Joe Magrin

16 Luke Nelmes

17 Fraser Morris

18 Sam Moorhouse

19 James Thornton

20 Liam Johnson

21 Connor Scott

I think Lee has already stated that Chris Annakin will start at prop and Id prefer to see Dom at 7 and start with Sam Day at 9...

Got it wrong already

Knowles is signed up for next season. After talking to players after the Widnes game theirs a few to add to that list,I’ll wait for club to announce them.

Well based on a squad of around 24  ... and  8 already known .... that means we have to wait another 8 weeks to find out the squad .... maybe 9 if they announce the new assistant coaches!!  ... I've heard of drip feeding but this is bordering on a drought !!

You must really struggle when it gets near Christmas TONO, ripping the wrapping paper off all of your presents weeks early.

Just go on another cruise for a couple of weeks and relax.

Grumpy!!! is that a case of  mistaken identity or a comment on my demeanour   ??

Apologies, my error, since corrected.

Remove the attribution but the comment holds good.

Your original post would still be pertinent BSJ, although I don't unwrap gifts prematurely. I already know that Mrs Grumpy's Christmas purchases will largely feature shirts and jumpers, of which I already have a large number in the wardrobe still unused. Bit like LG's policy on signing second rows last year actually.

I like the idea of Annakin as prop. He reminds me so much of my all time favorite Dewsbury prop, the great Gary Cocks. Annakin is a true team player, never gives less than 100%, never takes a backward step, and leads the pack by example, and if he demonstrates the same degree of loyalty that GC did, I reckon we have an inspirational signing.

I hope his tackling will be as robust as GC’s.

No Chance...GC was a one off (apart form that little Aussie..??Tony Murphy)

I wouldn't object to seeing Luke Hooley in the No1 shirt for us next season. It's his natural position and I'm sure he'd do a decent job being here permanently now Wakefield have released him

We already have a better full back.

My guess will be another re-signing!!  .... probably Joe Martin, Luke Nelmes or Fraser Morriss!!  ... I personally would like to hear of a new signing .... or if a re-signing then Paul Sykes would be good!! ..... or Rob Worrincy ... I know he has his critics, but he is still an amazing try scorer, still got fantastic pace... a great entertainer and a good ambassador for the game

No disrespect to Luke but we didn’t want him that’s why Lee let him go back to Wakefield once Joe Martin came on the scene and who  I think he’s a better fullback. Good luck Luke nice lad from a good family,plus brother in law of Tom Lillycrop.

Add Fraser Morris to the squad,another good re signing and on a 2 year contract.

Well we just need Joe Martin to sign and then then we will need a mini bus from Halifax to bring them to training ... should save a few bob!!
