Mentioned on the Wakefield forum he might be off to them

Thoughts ? (not on me visiting the Wakefield forum )

If this proves to be true, it could be a massive opportunity for him.

Half back seems to be an area in which we are not seen as being particularly strong and it would be down to him to make his mark and push for a starting spot.

However working under coach Brian Smith would be a plus for most players not just JK.

Certainly would improve him as a player.

Would be a pity to lose him but if it creates space in the cap for the missing experience in the halfs then so be it.

As it stands this is just a rumour!

Re: Joe Keyes : Mon Nov 16, 2015 11:09 pm  

Would be a real shame to see Joe leave but he clearly has the potential to make it at SL level. Which is a level we're unlikely to be playing at in the near future.

Indeed and given our lack of halves - Keyes, Barthau and Leatherbarrow - concerning. Unless Hendo has something up his sleeve, like a Godinet or Sammut, an experienced half.

He has great potential, but is a long way from the finished article. its just a rumour, so not sensible to speculate, but if there is any truth we would need to find a replacement asap as half back is a clear weakness for us.

If he is going you would think (hope) Hendo has known for some time and is making arrangements accordingly

SL clubs are back in training! Why has it taken so long to pick up a young kid on a measly wage???

Re: Joe Keyes : Tue Nov 17, 2015 6:00 pm  

Heard Hendo doesn't fancy him but DH wanted him kept. They wouldn't even let him gain experience at Skolars.

If the comment about the coach a downer are right slightly worried. He has huge potential. Was brilliant at Dewsbury in the play of game, but needs to tighten defence and mature. Would be surprised if Henderson didn't want him? For once, at the risk that Cowgirl will brand me an apologist, I am with the owner (if rumour has any truth)
