Great signing, and comes over immediately. Nice.

You'd think that he'll still fill out a little too, got too be good for his development being around Gleeson, Sa'u and Meli. Feel sorry for London I think they have finally raised the white flag, lets hope the regroup and come back stronger.

Maybe there`s some mileage in the other part of the o/p , tho it may not be a swap for Sneyd because the giants have signed Jamie Ellis apparently

I certainly hope so. Every time I've seen Shaun Lunt he's played well. Hooker is definitely a position we need to strengthen.

Yes his speed around the ruck is good and his distribution is quick.

With Locke and Caton-Brown in the team to finish the season, and Fages back soon perhaps we can make the eight after all...

Just thinking that, wonder what the odds are on doing so?

Top signing. Best part of this is both Caton Brown and Locke are joining this season, this giving them both more time to settle in.

Good work Doc.

I posted similar on the VT, but it's good to see that you seem to be putting a proper squad together this year as opposed to last season when you just bought a load of has beens and never will be's and hyped them up to ridiculous levels.

The signings you have made for next season are, so far, very good. The forwards still need addressing though for you to have a proper tilt, but so far so good.

As for making the playoffs this year. That would be a very long shot imo.

The best thing for me since Iestyn came in is the fact that we as fans know where we need strengthening. His first act was to bring young Tomkins in from Wigan to give us more speed and direction at the play the ball. The next was to see our distinct lack of pace and sign Locke, BJB. Loose Forward & Weller Hauraki. Lack of direction and experience around the park Michael Dobson (Not to mention his goal kicking).
Next position centre and Mason Caton Brown and if rumours are to believed Shaun Lunt for the hooking role.
I couldn't have asked for better targeted recruitment if I'd have picked myself.
I think we've got a potentially great backline for nexct year with plenty of cover.
Just one more wish a big go forward prop and it's Christmas come early for me

He might even know what he's doing ...


Geting Locke over now ( in July - Aug ) when it's sunny , rather than a gimmick may help in him aclimatizing , rather than Dec - Jan when he's freezing his monkey's off .

the CEO has already implied getting MCB/Locke in now means that next season they aren't new to any tactics - Systems.

A couple of New Props & a ' Name ' Hooker + the crop of youngsters we already have - Evalds Fages Walne's Walton & Ford + hopefully Owen. It's all looking decidedly rosier

I agree totally that the recruitment is better and Harris looks to be very focused.
He also has a base team of Hock Chase HH Tasi Sau Morley etc to build around,and he's making the most of it.

This should see an end to the regular Warringtonian whine about us having no class, because a three-quarter line with Caton-Brown and Jones-Bishop sounds like morning roll call at Eton.

Wonder if this means the end of Gleeson this season and the rumoured signing of Goulding from Wigan?

MCB, BJB and Locke bring the age of the squad down a fair bit and if we bring in Dudson he's another in his early 20's with bags of potential. As the Butcher says throw in the good youngsters we already have and next Season the only two veterans in the squad are likely too be Puletua and if he goes round again Morley.
