I think they, and other areas of the team really need game time together in order
to start to blend.

Unfortunately though, TS seems set on experimenting with different partnerships for the
first half of the season.

How are they expected to blend ? Surely some of the basic options should be sorted
before the season starts.

Having watched Widnes-Salford last night, I must admit I did finish up wondering how Salford
finish up with a 19 rear old French kid standing-in for Chase, Theo Fage, who seems to
have a lot of the skills we are looking for. He was getting more and more confident and
adventurous as the game progressed. For me, he should keep the unpredictable Chase out.

Don't get me wrong, in Myler, O'Brien and Ratchford I think we have some outstanding talents
but with constant chopping and changing they will never reach full potential.

I think that you will find that his dad had a fall out with the club over a few issues and took him away to Wigan, i may be wrong but i think it was before he was old enough for money to be an issue?

I said 'probably' meaning I was open to suggestion.

His dad fell out with the club yes, but the move to Wigan was 100% Joe's decision. Wigan tried alot harder than anyone to secure his signature behind the scenes. They painted a very rosy picture for him at the club over the next few years, which to be fair, probably would have materialized if it hadn't been for his injury.

Bear in mind he is 24 now and at the time he was looking to sign for an Academy I don't think Warrington had much to offer. It is rather more even now and Warrington is a good option for a young player.
