Huddersfield have finished in the top four 3 times from the last 5 seasons..

salford i think will certainly make the top 8 this time round but not top 4 just yet

Be interesting to see how much patience the good dr has if Salford are 8 - 10 th in 6 - 8 games. Lots of pressure on Noble

one thing pita godinet isn't and thats a halve, he is a hooker all day. But one that you would have to say is better than paul aiton. another pretty immense signing for wakefield.

I thought he was an outstanding young half before he was pushed into the hooking role

i think he is a good runner but at the top level i don't think has that same snap also i think he seriously lacks any kicking skills. don't get me wrong you could get him playing in a structure and he would do it reasonably well but i don't think he looks as good there as at a hooker.

Very good signing for wakefield either way.

He's an out and out halfback not a hooker though I realise the lines are very blurred these days. He played the hooking roll in an emergency situation at the start of the season.

TBH with the lack of British HB's he'd frankly look brilliant at 7 if he were a converted prop!

i dont agree i have seen him play both positions and he still looks a lot better player at hooker. for me a half back needs a kicking game and he always looks tidy at the play of the ball.

Well most Warriors fans don't seem to agree - however as I said! the lines are blurred these days between 6,7,9 and even 13 that it hardly matters especially in SL where as I said an NRL Prop would look good

yeah its all down to opinion and my overall opinion is that wakefield have just upgrade again. a couple more signings are they are seriously look a decent opposition.

All these overseas signings are showing the way the game is going in this country.

Enjoy whilst it lasts and forget any competitive home nation international teams for the foreseeable future.

I see that there are new shades of sand available , always available in different grit sizes to suit all heads.

Also available new blinkers in many colours but still designed to ensure you can only have one narrow view.
