There's a couple of props in the Championship that have signed for SL clubs, but yeah competition is high for them at the moment.

If they are the ones Mr Carter was on about Wires offers loads of cash for one of them Wakefield could not get even close to it. A good prop is something the club are looking for every day .but only if it strengthens the team .They seem as rare as rocking horse dropping at present My words not Mr Carters

Hurrell hasn’t ignited the super league like we all thought he would ,I’d stick him in with that Wigan wrecking ball kind of guy ,promised big things and ended doing hardly owt , Wigan were quick to see him outa the door. Boy if that was where we’d spent all our cap we would be in the do do. A Big gamble which seems to have failed and now trying to palm him off, and would rather spend on forward power than an under performing centre who costs an arm and a leg .

Think we are ok at centre whatever happens will Bill.
We are very lucky to have 2 cracking young prospects in Croft and Greensmith.
Don't waste money these two are knocking at the door now. If we don't give them chance to play someone else will. We will then rue the day we failed to play these outstanding prospects.
We now have some decent backs with plenty of back up.
Any money should be spent on genuine prop forwards. We have enough second rows and Crowther and Brad Walker need to fight it out as both are good prospects to have a loose forward.
With a limited budget money should not be wasted. Spending it on 2 quality props is all we lack in my opinion.

Not sure Croft is big enough to be honest though he’s a handy player. Unfortunately size is a major factor these days, that or speed.

Greensmith looks the better prospect as the lad is a man mountain and has the built to hopefully withstand the physicality.

That said I’d be happy for Croft to prove me wrong.

I like Croft I don`t think he is the biggest or the fastest, as you say either of those two attributes really do give you a big leg up in the modern game, if you have both you should really be making it as a SL player, but you still get out and out centres that are just classy without the need for the bulk or the ridiculous pace and I think from what I have seen of Croft he could develop into just that, I just have a feeling by the way he plays. The type of player I am referring to is a Dean Collis, who along with Domic is probably my favourite centre to have played for us in SL.

I can`t say I have seen much of Greensmith to be honest but from what I hear from the folk that have watched him at Donny, he has all the quality to make it.

Domic one of my favouritea Centre as well ,who did not look fast ,but was good at finding a gap and once in the clear scored.many a time from 60 to 80 yards,very decisive pace .I do not expect a Centre to go 80 yards to score ,but thinking put into a gap should be able to score from 50 yards

He was lucky to play alongside Solomona who was able to put any centre into space. If only we could unearth another like him.

Agree forgot who the winger was on that side but one of the best second row ,Centre winger combinations I have seen at Wakefield
