Maybe retaining/re-signing Guzdek would have been preferable? I'm sure gudek would have come if a decent offer had gone in.. Martin gone, Sykes a possible fullback, Fleming gone...

Many of the young loanees are often very young guys who are still growing. Hooley physically changed over the ill fated 2020 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Only Paul Sykes is likely to be added to this list from our existing pool, I reckon. I expect the remainder to go elsewhere. Maybe we will sign a big ex-SL star when their contract expires at the end of this month (or maybe not).

Crown Flatter Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I believe now that we have missed out on two players because each was offered a better deal than we could manage, Hansen (Swinton) and Meadows (Batley).

Hanson as signed a good contract at Swinton apparently and good luck to him,but i honestly believe we’ve signed pretty well in the halves for next season. From what I’ve heard the Meadows deal was swayed in Batley’s favour by them getting him full time employment,that’s a novelty in Batley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakefield Ram Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Sky have us down at 80/1 to win the Championship and that's 11th out of 14 teams. If our half backs work well together, think we'll finish higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About right I’d say.  Think the pack looks ok this time around, especially if Jason Walton stays fit, but we’ve lost Sam Day and we’ve no idea how our half backs will go.   Hope I’m wrong of course.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do reflect the eventual standings though some Batley fans will be a bit upset. It is interesting that they reckon Fev will be much stronger than Leigh but I suspect that the latter still have a bit of recruitment to do, especially when they decide who is going to be their coach.
