Laybutt has been quite good I agree. Seems like one of those players who seems to have the ball and has an age to decide what to do with it. As if time slows down. Certainly a controlling half instead of an off the cuff player.

I’m pretty happy with Lino and Smith to be honest. I wouldn’t be against us bringing in a young halfback to cover and develop though. Wonder if Abrahams has any plans to come back. Could get some good game time in reserves and put himself in with a chance of first team rugby.

I think we need some cover at HB.

Abrahams is fine but he’d have to join the reserves as I don’t think his Aussie shift warrants a contract, unless Mash really rates him.

Laybutt might do the trick but without wanting to upset PT, at 28?? playing relatively high up in the Queensland league he might not be interested in a shortish SL deal for not a huge amount of dosh.

We shall see.

Looks like Lineham is back in the fold, maybe a heart to heart has been had? https://www.facebook.com/wakefieldtrinityrl

Yeah he does to be honest.

He looked pretty trim when Fev lost to Batley

Yes had to look twice to make sure it was him. His body looks in better shape but his attitude and work ethic must also improve. Lets wait and see.

Re: What we currently look like for 2023 : Tue Nov 01, 2022 4:43 pm  

So as it stands we currently look something like this for 2023:

1. Jowitt
2. Murphy
3. Hall
4. Lyne
5. Kershaw/Taufua
6. Smith
7. Lino
8.Bowden
9. Hood
10. Whitbread
11. Proctor
12. Tanginoa
13.Crowther

14. Kay
15. Butler
16. Eseh
17. Ashurst

18. Gaskell
19. Bowes
20. Battye
21. Taufua/Kershaw
22. Pitts
23. Iineham
24. Windrow
25. O’donnovan

I think 4/5 more signings are required.

Prop remains number one priority as I’d say we need 2 props.
Loose forward
Fullback (or a good utility back)
Centre (or a good utility back)

If there’s anything left maybe promote a young lad or 2 - don’t we have some good young centres? Carter or Beevers maybe.

That's what I meant by a heart to heart. Maybe his new coaches will get a better response. Even if he only becomes a useful in an emergency player, that will be a huge improvement.

In the home win against Warrington, he was very effective, but that was the only game, so like you I'll wait and see.
