| I wouldn’t consider Bennison. I feel sorry for him in a lot of ways - at academy level he was looking like a top full back, but being just a year behind Welsby he’s never had the chance, and has just been a sort of small, awkward fill-in winger. If we’re looking to bring in a winger, I’d like to see a big unit who can carry hard and finish too - but that would likely require a quota spot.
Fages is a maybe for me. I like him, but I think he’ll settle at Catalans now.
Under quota, I’d like to see us bring in a winger and a half. There are far more talented British props about than the other positions. I like Olly Wilson - he’s still got plenty of growth in him but is technically decent and seems to have a good work ethic. Not sure there’s anything in it but he’s one to keep an eye on.

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.
I thought he was at Wakefield as a junior, when his brother was with us. He played at Stanley Rangers, same as his brother, but I don't remember him joining our Academy tbh. I remember him playing for England Academy against the Aussies when at Leeds, when England won 2-0. Came through Leeds academy I believe. Yeah, as I said, I remember him playing for England Academy against the Aussies while a Leeds junior. I seem to remember quite a bit of hype about him when he was going through their Academy at that time, but he only lasted a year in their senior set-up before moving to Hudds, might have been down to the lack of chances he was getting. I also think he made his SL debut against Trinity for Leeds.

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.
