Jesus, you'll start listening to Leonard Cohen next and we'll never hear from you again! Although with your constant negativity, I do have a copy of his Greatest Hits you can borrow......
There is nothing wrong at the club it is purely that we aren't a big club. Big clubs can attract players from small clubs/clubs in transition. Simples. It's the way of the world. We just have to deal with it and move on.

| So that's where my Leonard Cohen CD went!
Hallelujah.
Good post.
There needs to be more reality,if he has gone for less money then he is putting his career first; we hammer them for being greedy when they just go for the money. You can't have it both ways.
Good luck to him.
We are a club in transition. Myler left Widnes for us,he left us for Warrington. Seems logical to me.
We all want to return to the days when we were the destination of choice.
Look to The Future ( track 2)

If you think losing Myler and Ratchford is annoying then think what a kick in the teeth it was to produce Harris and Sculthorpe in our own Academy then watch them being pinched by other clubs and go on to win 3 Man of Steels and 5 Super League titles between them. '"
In that case, I would expect Wire fans to act with a little more integrity that they are doing.
Quote: sally cinnamon "
Warrington are now in a position where we can be in a position to compete for talented players but we know what it was like to be in the situation Salford are in and if Salford's stadium move goes well like ours did, and Salford start to get some good solid revenue in, Salford will do exactly the same, they will be competing for other young players, they wouldn't just leave them at their home club on principle....in fact Salford already took Myler and Robinson from other clubs.'"
Not really comparing like for like - Myler was without a club, and Robinson was surpless to requirements at Wigan. Salford were extremely keen to keep both Myler & Ratchford.
Quote: sally cinnamon "
Also I don't buy this line that Warrington can't develop their own talent - we might not have produced as much as Saints, Wigan or Leeds say, but we've produced Paul Wood, Harrison and Riley who are all decent players, that record matches up at least as well as what Salford have produced in the same time period. What Warrington have also done quite successfully is picked up young players from other clubs who showed talent but maybe had question marks about them, like Briers, Bridge and Westwood, and these guys have gone on to be top players with us. I would put Ratchford in that category (also Atkins). He's not a Harris or Scully type signing, he's a young player with talent but question marks.'"
These players have hardly been 'picked up'. With the exception of Briers, the rest have been poached with $$$ from weaker teams who would have dearly liked to have kept them.
Anyway, I hope it works out well for all three parties. Good luck Stefan. Break a leg...

Slightly different though, most of the players coming our way were either older players coming to the end of their careers or players not quite good enough for you team, apart from Adam Neal. Ratchford and Myler are both prospective England players for the next 10 years who we did everything within our power to keep.

| RATCHFORD READY FOR 'MASSIVE MOVE'
[iWarrington have confirmed the signing of Salford stand-off Stefan Ratchford for next season.[/i
[iSalford City Reds revealed on Tuesday they expected the 23-year-old to join the Wolves when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.
Ratchford, who will link up with his former Reds half-back partner Richie Myler at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, has signed a three-year deal with the Wolves.

| Good Luck to him, although I really wish it was any other club than Warrington.
Salford could not at present offer him trophies or even the position he wants to play in so it is a good move for him.
All Salford have to do now is kick on and win something to show Stefan how wrong he was.

| I have 2 Sons playing at Salford, if they asked for my advice, which they probably wouldnt, i would definitely advise them to stay put, i can only see exciting things happening at Salford over the next few years, with the new stadium, the seemingly new fab coach and all the great coaches at the academy. Maybe Steph is a little too old for this and wants too fast track now, my boys are younger and i beleive are going to benefit massively by the new adventures ahead. I wish Steph all the luck in the world and thank him for his services during his time with us, there are plenty of lads coming through to step into his shoes. Onwards and upwards, only good times ahead.

Or potential Warrington players...
I'm sure Tony Smith is professional enough not to go on the tap, but it does make you wonder.
