I doubt Russell is even good enough to currently get in Salford's 17.

Well they didn’t have an 18th man at the last game maybe he gets that

The loan deal is probably something that could be sorted out quickly, given that Stone has refused to train or play with Salford, whilst negotiations continue with regard to a permanent transfer.

Has anybody noticed that whenever a player is interviewed after signing for Wire, they only ever talk about how great the atmostphere is at the stadium etc. Just watched the Stone interview and it was exactly like Sneyd. It's as if thats all they can conjure up when asked about signing for us. It's almost getting embarrassing now. Nothing about what a great club Warrington are, or our proud history as a Rugby league town. Or the vision the club has for success. You never hear anybody say that. Could you imagine a player being interviewed after signing for Wigan or Saints? It would be totally different i'd imagine. Maybe i'm being harsh because Stone is an aussie after all and he probably doesn't know much about us. But it just shows that we've become a joke. 

karetaker: This says on loan, thought this was a permanent move. Have I missed something. I too thought that Stone was a permanent signing for Wire. It`s reported as a loan deal here also Maybe a mutual loan deal for 2 Quota players, means that we still have a Quota vacancy for this season? It would make sense for us to do that and have Stone already signed for us for 2026 season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/articles/c36xn3533kro

Whitehead to go to HKR on permanent transfer, Crowther to get retained (probably)


Welcome to Warrington folks, you couldn't make it up.

Welcome to Warrington folks, you couldn't make it up.

I think Oli Leyland needs to return to the Broncos on loan for the rest of the season to get his fitness and confidence back, but at the same time I don't think he figures much in Sam Burgess's plan for this season and probably next either.

Do you read these forums much, he is out for the season with an ACL injury.

I'm really hsppy with the Stone signing, adds much needed punch and skill we've badly missed, loan for this season to avoid the transfer fee with proberbly a 2-3 year deal from next year.
Russell might get a contract at Salford for next year, but he won't be here....i hope.
Whitehead i couldn't careless about him leaving, not gonna break in to the team any time soon, and the games i've seen him play he hasn't shown anything to suggest he ever will break in to the team barring injury.
Unless i'm forgetting someone, the only inbound for next year currently is Liam Byrne? Happy with him coming in, so currently our Props for next year are Vaughan (if he re-signs) Byrne, Harrison, Philbin, Yates, Wood, Crowther (kind of), Thomas, and the invisible prop Green, We're still missing an established prop there i feel.
Apart from a big prop like Mago, Satae, Ese'ese added to our team, On paper, we have a very good squad when everyone is fit. I feel once we get another dominant prop in and start winning the forward battle, i think we'll be hard to beat.
