Well that’s my Christmas sorted

[quote="karetaker":1qcu7n6x]It’s not a case of them allowing him to leave. With this new thing of players in last year of contract now able to talk to other clubs sooner my guess is we have offered him a better deal than Wigan wanted to.[/quote:1qcu7n6x] I think you are probably correct. A good signing for you.

[quote="Or thane":1hx8rs63]Talking of Hill, i keep thinking a 1 year for chris Hill wouldn't be bad........before you find me and beat me up. He wouldn't play every week, still does a good job, and my thinking is mainly for the experience, knowledge and professional attitude he could pass on and help develop our younger guys. Especially the forwards such as Wood, Thomas, Green, Whitehead, Holroyd etc So i'm not saying we desperately need him but he could be pretty useful. Been thinking it for awhile, but the guys on the radio were just on about it so thought cool, it's not just me then [/quote:1hx8rs63] I think I'd rather have Burgess nurture our young props than Chris Hill. You can't compare abilities or achievements.

Byrne is a positive signing for you. He’s huge, has a big engine (can play 60+ minutes). Aggressive (sometimes too much). Held his own against Fisher Harris and Leota in the WCC. Won’t give you too much with the ball but a very good defender. He’s 10 times the player Bullock is. He becomes a starter for you instantly. If Wigan weren’t in an insanely good position with props they’d be keeping him. As has been pointed out there will be another gem in the academy on low wages who will be promoted. Byrne will be on a good salary as non-quota props are hot commodities.

Few whispers round Hull that you're looking at Deon Cross from Salford. Anyone heard anything?

Deon Cross is a good player but we have adequate cover already for the positions he can play IMHO. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... ent-update
