i think wakeham has showed promise but i do agree, i remember people being quite outraged whenever the likes of ben roberts, billy ngawini and aaron groom the last time we were in this position (simply not enough talent at the present moment to make the 8)This Wakeham really isn’t the messiah that this forum seems to think he is.
Seeing Sam Williams of all people go past him seemingly nonchalantly to score a try was also a bit concerning.
wakeham should play a fair amount of footy this season, it doesn't have to start round 1 and i'd honestly suggest our chances of winning round 1 are probably smaller with him picked over 1 of the other 2
