yeah thats basically what im getting at

The only problem is that we have no marquee spots available.

Sure it’s only Bevan

No it’s not.

I dont think we have any, we can declare 2 but none signed for it

We have two, French and Field.

so we had 3 with Bateman before he went?...like I said, I dont think they were signed as marquee, they can just be declared as such as they are probably our highest earners now

Each passing week JWH's potential value increases. He's killing it at the moment for the Roosters. I really hope we're in for him, he'd be huge for us.

Interesting line of thought on the Trinity page regarding Tanginoa.



The Chairman at Wakefield has said they have identified the need to bring in a middle and another unpopular swap deal could be on the cards.



My thought was Tanginoa to Warrington with Bullock going to them (total guess).



Someone just mentioned rightfully so that Mago was close to signing for Trinity in the offseason and pointed out we are desperate for a secondrow so I think we could be in the mix too.



Not sure how I feel about that.



Tanginoa is a great strike secondrow on his day but defence isn’t great and he does have an error in him.



All speculation on my part but I think it’s realistic.

The swap deal the other day with Hall for Dagger seemed crazy as an outsider, so it could be anything.

I’m of the opinion it was good business and made sense.



Trinity couldn’t go another 2 months without a specialist 1 especially with games against lower table teams coming up if they are to survive.



Their attack without the fullback pivot has been totally blunt.



They cannot look beyond this season so had to act if they are to survive.



They have 2 SL standard centres in Langi and Lynn so Hall became a commodity to use to get that 1.



I’m confident Tanginoa will be the next bargaining chip as they are well stocked with secondrows and in reality he is one of their few prized assets.



I think Wire is more likely with Mikael leaving next week to free up the quota spot but I wouldn’t be shocked to see him come to Wigan given our need for a right edge secondrow.

I posted this on the Wakey forum but i disagree. From a long term perspective you would want Hall over Dagger, but with the season going how it has so far and future things to come (IMG etc.) Wakefield have lost the privilege of long-term thinking and need to focus more on their Super League survival now.



They have (i think?) 3 other centres at the club currently, but only 1 true fullback who is injured for i think i read 7 more weeks? Dagger is far from a bad SL player (imo) and i have liked what i have seen from him in the past, he fills the spot they need and is capable of joining in the line as a pivot and creating, and finding the line himself, things they are struggling to do currently. Dagger fits their current short-term needs now in what is a crutial time for Wakefield where they need to start picking up wins to have a chance of staying up.



I understand why it must be frustrating from a Wakefield fan's perspective, but i can also see the reasoning why they have took the gamble.
