I hear Wakefield are lining up a move for Tom Johnstone from Catalans. Would that mean under the duel reg agreement we have in place that Johnstone could potentially turn out for us? Might just represent peak Danson sh-ithousery if that's the plan

I think it’s for next year as a marquee signing, good sign of intent from Wakey, seems like the relegation might have given them a kick up the booty and end up being a good thing, they’ve got their new stand (obviously not because of relegation) and 5,000 season tickets sold for next season.

That would be a bold move for Wakey of they pull it off

Interested to know any of your thoughts on your prop Max Wood ?

Decent player mate but unfortunately for him he is way down the pecking order at Wigan. I don’t think he is ready for first team rugby.

Mate of mine watches midland hurricanes. Says he saw him play once and was utterly terrible. From memory it was when they lost about 80-0

Think that was the only game he played

Never judge a player off one performance.

Knew this was pure fantasy when you started your post by claiming to have a mate.

Only seen bits and bobs of him but he’s looked pretty good. He’s behind a lot of players here and certainly doesn’t seem to be as highly thought of as Hill or Makin. It’s always sad to see a young player go and especially to a rival but it’s not like losing Matty Nicholson. That was losing a guaranteed future international IMO, whereas this is losing a lad who may or may not end up as a first team quality superleague player.

Good luck to him.
