Unless we have him to play in the halves dont see any benefit to signing him even short term when was his last good game not for a while prefer to use any money more wisely

When was anyone's last good game?

Re: Tony Gigot : Tue Jul 21, 2020 10:29 pm  

Three or four months ago not three or four teams ago

Why when we are supposed to have no money are we bringing players in, there is no relegation so why not give bailey, Croft and kershaw a chance.

TBF Mopsey you have a vested interest in that spot, I get it. But let’s be fair when these decisions were made nobody knew for certain TWP would implode. When players like Kay and Gigot come onto the market at what I suspect are good terms you have to look.

I hope Ryan gets his run at HB if that helps but I honestly don’t think Bailey is ready for anything other than the odd game from the bench.

Also both Kay and especially Gigot offer a lot of versatility. Gigot looks decent in the halves and the backs, a precious commodity for us.

Now assuming there is no relegation then perhaps you have more of a point but until that is all fully decided we have to prepare.

I don’t select the team vasty and it’s up to every player to play well and keep their place but I honestly think now with this virus and what’s happened to Toronto is the time to start producing some good homegrown players. We and I’m not just talking Wakefield the game in general waste more money on overseas players and old players who have been great in their time but should not be playing super league anymore. Ellis, Sean ol and brough to name 3. Like I say there’s no relegation so give them a chance.

If he can keep his temper under control then fine, I'd have no problem with the signing however with no relegation in place surely we could play others and save the money?

Walker, Jowitt, Rocky, Miller, Josh & Kyle Wood, Bailey all versatile to cover the halves.

I'm looking forward to seeing the rugby return but hopefully the remainder of the season will be injury free almost like a preseason for next year.

Let's hope so but if the NRL is anything to go by where serious injuries have 'gone through the roof' , then that isn't going to happen

I think it's the injury free part that is important.
These signings are players that can cover multiple roles.
No relegation shouldn't mean we don't care. I'd rather we target winning everything and plan the team accordingly. The squad is going to need some rotation.

Also, I wonder whether with no relegation, some will go for early cleanup ops so that they are ready for start of 2021 when normally the miss a preseason.

With relegation out of the way, I think most none likely grand finalists, will target the Challenge Cup, I think Trinity should throw the kitchen sink at this.

I just wish we could get this monkey off our back - 41 years since the last appearance is unbelievable !
