| Quote supercat="supercat"Yes we need them as it's a squad game now not just 1-17. Thought you might have figured that out by now. If you look at leeds they had quite a bad season with injuries but have got by at times as some of their Junior/reserves have come in and done a job thus giving first teamers a break or recovery from injuries.'"
Spot on. No more replies required.

Give it a rest for heavens sake
How many of those 8 can cover centre or are we blessed there as well? I ll leave that to you to answer in the negative as usual

We don't even know how these guys are going to play for us, yet you are talking about them being at the back of the pecking order and should be offloaded.
For me, as has been said, we need more depth to our squad if we are going to make a challenge. The big teams can do it. We still can't but if I was going to bulk up one area, I wouldn't be against oversizing the engine room. That is where people are going to need the rest.
And regardless......I'm happy to let Mr.Agar build his team how he sees fit and judge him on results, rather than perceptions of players I haven't seen play for Wakefield and before the squad is finished.
I'm liking the way our team is looking now.

And in a squad of 25 I would expect at least 6 backrowers.

| Like others have said, until we know what the squad looks like at the start of the season, there's no point even talking about this, players could be coming and going till then. Better to wait and see what the final squad looks like before criticizing it.

| the more i think about it the more i'm sure we need to shed some heads from the squad. i don't see how mr agar can justify the numbers in the squad (or the rumoured numbers) from a cost perspective if we are paying enough for the guys to live and prosper on.

| The question is does Agar see Johnson as a second rower or a prop, will Morro or Southern play loose? Is Kirmond to cover the three quarters as he did previously when at Trin. There are numerous plausable rotations within those second rowers we've signed, to assume all will only play there is ridiculous.
They are all needed, it's a long season and they all bring different qualities to our squad

| It's a fair point to make and continue to make 'em fat lad ignore those seemingly deeming your comments as beneath them. It's a forum to express opinions after all.
As it happens I think you'll be surprised by Kirmond, I reckon he'll get some decent game time. Johnson may well find himself propping depending on who we bring in and we are bound to have injuries too.
Can't comment on Wood not seen enough but must admit was surprised we went for him for the reasons you gave.
There's still some coming and going to be done it's only October after all

| I'm sure over the course of the season we'll need them all, i hope the youngsters get a shot too, but if they aren.t i hope the club loans them out
