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.
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,
