Re Rourke: Wasn't Max the Superleague "Rookie of the Year" in his first season and easily held his own as a SL fullback. This season has been an opportunity to review and reset and Max has taken that with both hands. Ignoring his excellent goalkicking, playing in the halves has added a new dimension to his running and attacking game. His decision making re run or pass has improved greatly and once he spots a gap he is using great acceleration and footwork to break the line. His passing has always been top drawer down the left edge but he has developed his game to be massively effective down the right as well.
Back to Rourke. He has had a great season and will continue to develop as cover for full back and will push Max to keep improving. That's how it should be. However, he will already have great qualities to bring to the team and should easily fit into the team on the right wing.

I agree - and when you put it like that it shows how light we are in the pack. Two props and a second rower for next season would do nicely. 

Hood on his way to Cas?!

That's how it goes, I'd have been more than happy if he'd stayed but only for another year. But you've no control when players leave and where they go.Hood will go well for them if he signs, but he's another year older and we know full well what he's capable of.

Wakefield Trinity star's prognosis unclear as boss gives concerning update

Wakefield Trinity star's prognosis unclear as boss gives concerning update

Losing TJ is a huge blow to getting in the 6 imo so I hope it’s not long. 


Losing the left edge of Pratt and TJ imo contributed to us losing at Hull. We lose a lot of metres, strong settled defence and experience on that wing. 


Is Russell injured again? I thought he’d be back in to be honest. 


At least Ollie back at centre will help somewhat.
