With Atoni signing for Cas, I’d go for Owen Trout from Leigh to bolster the front row.
He’s got size, youth, brings loads of energy and wouldn’t take up a quota spot.
I’m not saying we’d get him but he’s a Wakefield lad and fan. In his short career to date he’s been at Cas and Leeds as a junior, then Huddersfield and now Leigh so he’s obviously not worried about moving from one club to the next.
He'd be a good shout and seems to be coming into his prime, it also leaves that space open to look for someone that suits us from the NRL. But hasn't Trout still got another year on his contract for Leigh? He signed for 3 years for the 2024 season, so that takes us till the end of 2026 season. Not saying we couldn't move for him, but we'd have to pay a fee.
For some reason, this disappeared, which was my reply when Avenger suggested him.
