Think it is worth giving some credit to the high performers in the team.

Tupou is currently topping the chart for the league for metres gained with 2434.
Reece is also in 4th with 2149.
Neither are work shy clearly and are really testing opposition defences.

Some say having running centres stops your wingers scoring but we have two in the top ten
BJB is 3rd with 13 tries and TJ is 4th with 12.

Miller is 3rd in the try assists with 17.
We don't lack beef either

Matty Ashurst is 3rd in the top tacklers with 638 and Arona is 7th with 591. Arona has often started on the bench too.

Fifita is 3rd on the list of tackle busts with 76. They are effective in different ways for different people. Bill's tackle busts lead to long metres. Finifta's tackle busts lead to hard yards and a tight defense that can't get out to defend the wings.


We have some great players at Wakefield at the moment. I'm enjoying watching them.

Good to see

I can tell you there are a couple of clubs enviously circling around Bill Tupou, after a mixed settling in period he really has become one of the better centres in the league.

Couldn’t agree more - there not just a joy to watch from 1-17 they also have more potential than any team we have put out in SL imo.

The 2004 team may have achieved more up to date but that team wasn’t as balanced and had nothing like the depth. Good though they were they were a flash in the pan where as this team is now hopefully in its third season as a top 8 team.

We haven’t been that consistent since the 70’s maybe even the 60’s,

All good players for us who are playing really well.

Feel sorry for Arundel, as I thought a while back he was our best centre, but I do believe right now Reece and Bill playing really well. Don't get me wrong, still like Joe and sure when fit again, will provide us with options

Chuffed to bits to see Reece playing well. He's had his critics on here and on the terraces in the past. He seems to have silenced those

Reece’s last try was a belter and had it all ,tackle busts and speed to get to the try line .
Exciting times ahead with the team playing like that .

Yup and I suspect you were one. Arundal is unlucky as imho he’s the most natural centre. Tupou has a wingers instinct and it shows occasionally. It swings and roundabouts in that he score more than most centres but doesn’t feed his winger consistently and Lyne is similar. Will be nice to see Arundal available to offer an alternative if needed.

I wasn't actually.

I thought, even back in the Agar days, the lad had potential.

Just wasn't quite sure at the time what his best position was. I don't think Agar did either

If you say so but in my defence keeping up with your sysmic changes of opinion and mammoth panic attacks it isn’t easy.
