Seems perfectly possible, I'm sure he could walk into any top NRL club. However he tweeted this earlier regarding Coops

Massive signing for @wolvesrl who will bring the experience from nrl back with him, also have a good mate back home @MikeCooper_18

Seems a strange comment if he knows they won't be playing together next year.

Think Hill is fairly settled with a young family and doesn't fancy uprooting that. And thank God for that - all we need is for Ben Currie to have a few kids and get married.

I'd be surprised if Dodds will be here now, I'd struggle to see how we can keep him under the cap.

I think we will keep three from BEvans, Harrison, Cox & Bailey. A big part of who we keep will be dependant on what others are prepared to offer.

I think Harrison will stay and I hope Cox does, more so because he has age on his side. That leaves Bailey and BEvans - both playing for contract for me.

I think four props of Hill, Cooper, Sims & Harrison is better than anything else in SL by far. Add to that Cox and A.N.O plus Clark & Dwyer, we have a fantastic front row.

I think in these times of austerity that clubs will have think long & hard about which players they can afford to carry in terms of injuries especially if it means depleting the available playing squad & being a drain on the wage bill. Professionalism & sentimentality don't go hand in hand.

I would suspect that if there is a battle between keeping B Evans and B Harrison then BH would win purely on the fact of his known quantity whereas BE is a prospect. BE then drops into the battle with Cox and Bailey.

Cox excites the crowd with his runs, but they are so hard he always seems to rattle his head, which leads him to be less effective.

Bailey is an unknown quantity in the mind as he can be really good, but can loose the plot.

Evans a good young prospect, but sadly gets injured easily.

That leaves us with three very plausible candidates each with there own risks.

Good summary of the players attributes etc.

However, Harrison & Evans have contracts at Wire for 2017, & UP TO NOW Cox & Bailey contracts expire at the end of 2016 season

Bailey looks to be very focused and full of self control at Warrington. Looks a good acquisition on the evidence so far.

Bailey has more genuine 'Big Game' experience than anyone else in the Wire squad, and possibly more than any other prop in SL. If his contribution on the pitch is up to standard then that experience, if he is able help other squad members when the huge games come around, is invaluable and can't be ignored.

He was capped 8 times under tony smith, and looks to be regaining some form under him
At only 31 he looks like he could end up being a smart signing, which is a bit embarrassing for those calling for TS to be sacked following the announcement


BTW if you win the GF this year he will go joint second for all time SL titles, only JP a head of him

Anyone calling time on TS wasn't calling it for signing Bailey IIRC other opinions of should he stay or go were afoot so no embarrassment on here unlike on your own board which was in sack the coach meltdown prior to him winning the treble and in fact previous to that when your trophy cabinet was hardly bare?

The Bailey question was simply can he do it will he disrupt things/be more trouble than he's worth
