Wakefields New Signing : Mon Feb 09, 2009 10:04 pm  

Any news or rumors yet ?? For as great as the boys did against Wigan we cant expect that sort of performance every week can we ?? We certainly lack experience in the pack... It may be a bit ambitious but i have heard a certain Frank Pritchard being mentioned as a possible target... I heard it was an aussie but he is NRL based and also believe the player didnt appear in the World Cup and the club did say our potential signing did miss the event ?? Any news out there ?? ...

Pritchard would be a great signing.

You not seen the other topics? Frank Winterstein just waiting for his visa clearance, not a household name but supposedly an exciting player with a good offload game

If Frank has a good offload game, that's good enough for me.

That's what we're missing at the minute - no disrespect to the current players however.

Do we have any idea when Winterstein will be joining us? Is it official?

Nothing official - yet. I guess they're waiting for his visa to come through?

Not having a go, how does he sound like a good player? I have not read anything about him. Just wondered what you have read?

He sounds like a big unit who had potential but never kicked on in the NRL. Although the coaching staff would’ve no doubt done their homework on him he is probably a calculated gamble as to whether he makes it or not. His size should at least give the pack some sort of impact and his offloading ability may create some gaps in tight matches. .
