I'm happy enough with this, decent cover just like Grix - also Academy trained which means our squad has 7 academy products in the first team which is the best for a while.

Johnstone
Jowitt
Crowther
Wood
Batchelor
Moules
Mazive

Gunna get ripped down the middle with Finn or Wood playing 9. Still he's an pivot option until he gets ideas above his station again.

Why? Baffling comment.

Good on the CV, wasn't Annakin also an academy product?

Not the strongest defenders and they will be targeted by the opposition forwards.

Nothing wrong with Finns defence IMO, Wood also seemed OK from memory, don't see a problem TBH. I concede Moore is better than both but sadly he makes himself unemployable IMO.

Correct so make that 8, be 9 if we do sign Ferguson.

I'm in the yes camp for this signing - he's quick out of DH and a good support runner; and he has good utility value, being able to cover several positions. Like it or not, that's important for us, as we're not awash with money.

Welcome back Kyle - how many academy trained players does that make in 1st team squad now - 9?

10 Academy or Wakefield Trinity Youth product players if you include Liam Finn

Re: Kyle Wood : Mon Nov 07, 2016 12:44 pm  

Mazive
Batchelor
Morris
Moules
Crowther
Jowitt
Johnstone
Annakin
Finn
Wood

** Ferguson would be 11 **

Great to see so many positive comments on him. He was a very handy player to have in our squad.
He always seemed to be improving and started to become a very clever and talented player then he got injured and took two steps back.
Lack of back to back games didn't help him either.

I hope for him, you lot can offer him more games and he can stay injury free. He's still not hit his peak yet. He'll be dangerous when he does.
Underated by a lot in Huddersfield.

i like wood, wouldnt have minded him staying at the giants

was good for us last season, good off the bench with his pace in the hooking role

not so good a half back and defence poor too. prone to injuries!
