Gone on loan to Dewsbury.

Hmmm. Suppose its better for him to play than not. Had a feeling he'd be offloaded after the ridiculous 10 minute cameo against the Bulls. He would be in my first team line up.

Atleast he's getting game time, when everyone is back fit I don't reckon he'd have a look in especially when we'll have a bench full of forwards.

Good for him. He has others ahead of him.
He needs game time.

The last top quality players we brought through were the ones we had to play and stick with as we had no choice. Would Gaz Ellis or Ben Westwood make it if they were at Wakey now??? I'm not convinced.

Who would you leave out to replace him with? Bearing in mind we could have up to 4 players added to the squad for Saturday

As much as I would love to see him get more chance and game time the fact is we have better quality players ahead of him and we now have P and R.The time to give him more game time and bring him on was the previous 2 seasons with no P and R but that boat has sailed.

Not sure what else RA could do; he needs game time and as things stand, there are people ahead of him. I hope he goes well and gets something out of it.

I'm sure the Dewsbury coach will see him rait, even if he has an Aussie accent (that should bring a few of them out of the woodwork, they've a little quiet recently, perhaps they are planning). Wonder if there would be a problem if Glen became our coach, RA replaced by a foreigner? GM seems to be an Aussie with a pedigree though

One down three to go, the argument he needs game time is correct but it should be at Wakefield , nobody can tell me he wouldn’t have scored that try Jon Molloy scored on Sunday , Lucas is one of our own who should have  had 1873 investment in him . also he goes, but rhino loanees who won’t be able to get a game and are not as good as Lucas stay .  

I think having brought Ryan over from Aus the coach / club want to see what we have got so he is getting in the starting 17. I do not think anyone has seen enough yet to say that Ryan is a better player than Walshaw. I would like to see Walshaw get a run of games in the second row so we can find out about him. I think given a chance he will prove himself. I have nothing against Ryan and hope he becomes a star with us. I do understand that it is easier to play Ryan ( as we have come over from Aus ) and send Walshaw out on loan. I just hope that we can give Walshaw, Trout and Anankin enough chances this season.

Seems like a sensible decision. For me he is not in the best 17 and he needs to play.
