Quote: Saddened! "There could easily be more to this than the mini crisis we're in this season. It is rumoured that Leigh have a really promising half back (Brierley) who will be playing Super League next season. If Warrington are that club, it may well be that O'Brien doesn't have a place for next season and wants out. This could end up being a trial more than a month's loan. (I don't see what good a month does, as we're back in the same boat when he goes).'"
Lomax and Wheeler will be back in a month so maybe the plan is to move Wellens back to 1 and go with Lomax at 6 for the rest of the season, or Lomax to 1 and Wheeler to 6?
I know it's not ideal but we're stuck with very little until next season so for the short term it's a good move.
I do agree with the overall issue that it's a sad indicement of where we are in terms of player recruitment right now though. We should've been much more prepared than this and whilst it's great that we've signed a 7 for next year, we still haven't got a 6!
