Bailey Antrobus?

Saw a report saying he’d be a good pick up for a Superleague team. I know he played for Wales in the World Cup but don’t know much else. Are we interested? Not sure if he’s quota or not.

Sam Eseh is a player I’d like to see us go after. 19 year old wakefield prop.

Big, athletic, aggressive and can offload. Played the full first half in the reserves game today ( still ongoing).

Looks raw but could develop in our system.

He’d be the perfect “project” prop instead of Silva, our 7th/8th prop.

I hope Trinity retain him. He’s a very exciting prospect but if he does become a free agent he’d be a priority target in my opinion.

Chsmpionship young player of year at Fev last year and impressed in a side on the back foot when he has played for Trinity this year.

Can’t understand why he isn’t playing week in week out as he would add way more than Proctor and Atoni (worst prop I’ve seen in SL).

There are a number of clubs having a look at him, Wigan being one. I think he’s a non-federation player if my memory serves me right he played in Australia.

He’s at York (or was last year) thought he was great in the World Cup he’s certainly got ability but not sure he is worth a quota spot.

He would be a good pick up for us but it would be tough on Wakefield. Trinity are trying to build their squad via their academy and we need to ensure that teams who are willing to invest in juniors should have some form of protection.

I hope so to.

I tend to agree with that but I suppose it depends on our other recruitment and the amount of salary cap we have available.

Dupree had some great carries. Really need to be focusing on brining him to Wigan

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sat Apr 29, 2023 11:23 pm  

Dupree has that build and high impact running style similar to Luke Thompson. He’s a bit raw but he’s early 20’s, injury free and would want a far lower salary. Salford have financial issues and are trying to raise money. You could probably get him for £100-150k and he’d want less than half of what Thompson would want. He’d cost more upfront but less over the period of his contract.
