Anyhow if he signs he signs.

I get your point I honestly do but as stated on my last post his route to SL was a bit different.

'Toronto was splashing huge amounts of cash and although he probably could have got another NRL contract it probably wouldn't have been on anything like the wage. So for me he's not some crock but a decent player whos become available through an odd set of circumstances'.

He's definitely a cut above the average pension seeker. Of course, we can't be sure but due to the circumstances, I'd call it a risk well worth taking. Also, I don't think he falls into the 'A signing for a signings sake' category due to his versatility. Three positions covered to varying degrees is a lot of value for money and may prove incredibly useful.

Anyway, academic for now.

Has he signed yet or have we finally realised it came from a ‘journalist’ who gets far more wrong then he gets right, especially in relation to Trinity

Nope, but is there any harm in us having a bit of fun and debate? These are long dark days after all.

As for being a journalist, he is in the same way Mick Gledhill is, ie not at all

It's come from Matthew Shaw has this one, and he's definitely a 'proper' journalist. I'd say he gets more right than wrong.

Do you reckon? Not sure I agree.

Anyway I personally hope this is one of his more successful stabs in the dark

Does he hell! He’s a stooge for agents

He had Kopczak leaving a year earlier then he did and us signing Martyn Ridyard !! I’m sure I could find more

Of course there's going to be ones he gets wrong, and he covers every club not just Wakefield. All I'm saying is that he's actually employed to cover RL, and is a lot more credible than someone like Mick Gledhill. It might prove to be wrong, but it certainly won't be just made up on a whim for attention or to increase his Twitter following.

It will be put out there because an agent has told him too, to create interest and pressure on finalising a deal elsewhere

That's a shame if that's true but I'm still happy with what we have.
Other clubs would be envious of out 3/4 line at their best.
