Wasn't expecting dufty to be back..and who's this McKinney is he another one who won't get a run out

An exceptional young prop we have. For me him being around the first team for now is great progression in his carrier, well at least i hope it is the way things seem to be at the moment i am not sure but for the post part he's a grounded and focused young man i expect him to learn from the right people.  

Most likely, it will be the usual added to the 21 to get valuable time around the squad like learning to get the coffee for the senior players. Apologies for the level of my sarcasm just it’s all getting to much now with this club. He will be dropped from the 21 next week just like Harthill.

After those stats were published about Powell its a miracle he has kept his place. Then again, it's Warrington so par for the course.  Although he must be worried for when walker is fit as there's no way you know who will be dropped. Probably bin currie off knowing burgess.

Is he signing for somebody else then?

I've not heard him say anything to make me think he's arrogant or deluded.  He's under performing but so are the whole team and I'd say he's one of our better players before his injury.  He clearly wasn't fit for the final and probably isn't 100% still.  Similar to Toby King.  I can't think of any other reason for him to be on the wing other than him not being fully fit and the club trying to shield him a little. 

I think it's the wrong tactic to play a not fully recovered/fit player, but that's Sam's mistake, not the players.  So why hold it against the players?  They're just doing as the coach tells them.

I think we've played players unfit for a while. We've rushed back players after serious injuries and not rested players who obviously not right.  
Dufty might be back this week & he has had a serious knock similar to Lindop & Sneyd.  I can understand why we are doing it (wanting the 2 points so badly) but it is not a good situation.

The excuses just keep coming  ... “I almost feel we haven’t hit our straps yet as a group,” said Burgess, who welcomed Williams’ return from a seven-week absence in his Challenge Cup Final side - the same day he then lost the services of Dufty for two weeks. “We’ve missed Duffs since George’s return. It’s not been George, Duffs, Sneydy and Danny – I think we’ve had it once this year, maybe twice. “In terms of them getting consistency, it’s been tough. “Let’s hope we can get a little bit of consistency in that spine rotation and I think we’ll see a bit more consistency out of the guys as well.” Corrections:  1. We definitely haven't hit our straps.  2. We had George, Duffs, Sneydy and Danny for 4 games this season, the last being Hull FC home game which we also lost 28-16.  I know that and it's not my job to know.  https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sport/wolves/wolvesnews/25269458.matty-dufty-set-warrington-wolves-return-hull-fc/

Completely agree, he's not arrogant in the slightest or deluded, why because he's leaving. Leave it out, he gives more effort week in week out than most.
