His body has proven year after year it’s not up to playing in SL and at his age that isn’t going to change.
Don’t get me wrong he’s been and still is a good player but he can’t be relied on to give us value in SL.
That's how I see it as well. However, I don't think we could complain if we ended up with Pratt, Thornley, Hall and Scott next year. We'd have plenty of depth and it would allow us to manage Thornley's game time.

We are signing players from clubs that actually want to keep them. Its a hell of a jump to being a mid table super league team but we’ve come a long way in a very short space of time

Well Wigan develop a lot of their own for one thing so have access to those players. After that it's about sourcing good players for the right price and convincing them to come to Wakefield.
You can spend the same as Wigan by getting players like Kevin Proctor but you won't beat them.
