Rumours on “love rugby league” he’s our number one target for the fullback role but I don’t see how we can get the funds to buy him. To be honest I don’t know how we’ve got the funds to buy Liam Watts there must be more than we all think we’ve got at the club.

Also if we sign him, the squads better than last year IMO. More strength in depth and a better starting line up when everyone is fit. Are we finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel after the Hardaker situation

If you look at the meet the directors thread you'll see that crowds were up, hospitality was up, beer sales were up etc. Plus the prize money for LLS.

Transfer fees are not really the issue, the salary cap is.

Now that ZH is off the cap there's probably money to bring in 2 decent players, Watts is one, someone like Evalds could be the other, particularly if we can offload one of our smaller earners such as Jy or Lo.

Niall has got a bright future and the best place to learn his trade is in side such as Castleford. No player will want to play for Salford at the moment, knowing that there futures are all at risk so maybe we should get him while we can. Seems like there trying to offload a few players so we could get him cheaper than his value is. Nothing against Ben Roberts but a specialist fullback is what we need, someone Young and has nearly 100 appearances for Salford so he knows what super league is all about.

My guess, Cas got £250K for Solomona, shelled out £150K for Hardaker, the other £100 on Watts.

We made an unexpected 150k in price money too (less bonuses), largely cancels out the Hardaker outlay.

With this in mind our recruitment was very underwhelming, in hindsight, it seems to have been more a case of players not been available then a reluctance to spend!

I think you'll find that our low-budget recruitment was due to the uncertainty of Zak's large wage on the salary cap. Now that he's off there's money to spend. IMO the club have gone about this in the only way that they could having already signed Wardle before Mr Hardaker's actions spoilt everything.

I could see Watts being higher than 100k because we have” payed a large fee” for him but who knows what a large fee for a top player nowadays is.Hopefully this is the start of great recruitment for the 2018 season. I’m excited to see Wardle play, think he’s something different to the other 2nd rowers we’ve got

Crowds up 30%
Advertising revenue up 30%
Bar sales up 60%
And no rent to pay.

My guess is that we can afford a substantial transfer fee every year, the problem is getting good players into the salary cap without losing the ones we want to keep and maintaining a large enough squad.

Something that Wakefield have done very well this year tbf.

In Wardle and Watts (Mcshane and Milner too tbf) we certainly havery some aggresion in the forwards.

Anyone see Jon Wells' reaction to the question about Evalds posed by Brian Carney on RL backchat? He took the credit for signing Watts and then stuttered quite badly when asked about Evalds...so it might have some legs in it

From how he reacted to the question I would say there has been talks about it but nothing concrete. Why wouldn't we be interested. The lad is young and good.

Was given the opportunity to confirm or deny the rumour, and chose to skirt around the question, did not out right deny - which (imo) gives more credence to the rumour.
