| Oh goodness me. Yes, he's an enthusiastic Warringtonian who bleeds P&B, but so were Cullen, Riley, O'Brien etc. etc. and they were all moved on when their sell-by date was up, for whatever reason and regardless of their birthplace and the pros-and-cons.
Anyone who thinks Blythe is a match for Rhys Evans, or anyone else in our first choice back line (including Lineham, sharp intake of breath) is in dream world. Rhys is superior defensively, is faster, younger, and offers genuine versatility in the backs.
The return of Cooper isn't about bringing a Warrington boy home, I'm sure that wasn't part of the rationale; it was about bringing home a top-quality prop-forward, who has matured into an excellent player. Kevin Penny's return was justified as he'd matured into a good player, who was still capable of improvement yet still possessed qualities no-one else in the squad had.
Backwards step for me, irrespective of size of contract etc.

| Saw Bev play many times, he was a mysterious magic player. An introvert off the field and an extrovert on it. He would be a wow if he was playing now however with the accent on big athletic wingers these days I am not sure he would be entertained by many clubs. Great clips by the way WO and the one that followed on you tube of the 54 Cup Final replay at Odsal was a treat, fantastic crowd, crowd safety?

| Many of the knockers, some more personal jibes than others, are the same as those who knocked Bailey!!!..?
Matty is okay. I don't recall him having a thread to himself with pages of dissatisfied posters running for weeks/months during his time here.
He'll be good enough, tbh, if he was here now, with our right edge issue, I think he'd be on our right side ahead of Toby, who seems to be struggling at this level at times.

That was too early for me. Dad said that an awful lot of people climbed in at the back - he reckoned the crowd was around 110-120k not 104K. I would loved to have seen Gerry Helme playing as he was dad's favourite.
