I see that George King confirmed as leaving HKR.

Would be a good pick up. They’re full of praise for him at KR.

Rumoured signed for Hudds though.

I posted the same here last week when people spoke about Lino I've been told we wont see him in a Wakefield shirt again... not in the squad again this week. That will free up a spot.

Believe that Trueman is available for us from next week? believe he will straight into the squad

Powell confirmed that in his interview a month or so back when we signed Truman that he was available to play and it would be considered but not certain.

I don’t think he will to be honest. Think Powell may stick with Kay if needed out of principal unless hand was forced.

There's too much at stake to put principles in front of selecting the best 17 available.

That’s what Powell said not me.think it was a comment about putting him in when players had played the full season or along those lines.

Does anyone not think we need an experienced centre? Pratt is very promising, but just that right now, if he is a regular next year, he's gonna be up against some serious quality, and Hall and Scott aren't that experienced themselves?!

The obvious one is Opacic however Pratt will have another pre season under his belt and have come off the back of 35+ games this season. I think he’s nailed on to be a regular that left centre spot for years to come. Powell really seems to rate him and you can see why. You have to trust young players sometimes. Even saints have a few young players that regularly feature. That’s the cause of salary cap. Pratt for his age and experience has been very consistent all season this year and it’s not solely just promising. I’d say his performances give alot of confidence he will do well in Superleague.

We have Pratt, Hall, Scott, Booth and maybe Roarke if he signs who probably could slot in there. Kay also.

I like him a lot, and I get what you are saying, but I think it would help his development, and the team if he had a 27/28 year old seasoned pro alongside him, but I understand it's a juggling act within the cap etc, we haven't really had a quality centre since Bill have we.

It's a crazy take imho. Must play our best 17.

Pratt will go well in SL
I reckon he's ready, very confident and seems a tough hombre .
