Can someone settle an argument for me??

Where is John up to? Is he injured or at another club?

Back in training after being injuried.

Fair enough, what was up with him?

Bad ankle injury which ruled him out of the CC final, think he had to have screws put in it.

Just goes to show the strength of our squad when we are not missing him in the slightest.

I'm really intrigued to see what Smith does when he's fit.

Me too. I can see a dual registration until the contract expires.

Don't be silly.

With Harrison moving up to prop, he is an ideal candidate for loose forward. It will give us an additional pivot in the middle of the field, his long passing game is excellent.

Let's see shall we. There is real challenge for the hooker spot and loose forward. Maybe you want him in the halves? He must be looking at our league table position and the likes of Grix, Higham, Monas, Harrisson et al and thinking where do I fit in as none deserve to be dropped.

I imagine he'll be starting at loose or on the bench. Probably before Vinnie, Mitchell, McCarthy when all are fit.

I'll nail my colours to the mast and say I prefer Grix at LF presently. He does not deserve to be dropped. But that is because I prefer LF's to be more like backs than forwards. It's a strategic choice I'll admit. Having said that I'd really be looking for an LF signing in the off-season which makes it a moot choice. Neither are utopian.

I'd agree I'd choose Grix at present. However, I might choose Clarke over Vinnie (or even Higham).

I'm struggling to see the 'Vinnie deserving to play for Warrington' argument now. He'll be gone 2011 he knows it, the players know it, we know it. I like Higham though and seemingly Smith does too. I can't see why Smith would want 3 players in the frame for hooker (and thus have one outside the 17, on a decent wedge, if all fit) so that makes Clarke as either superfluous to requirements (as I suspect) or in line for a LF role. I think TS is lumbered with him due to the rediculous 4 year extension given before his tenure. As I say I'd like to see someone at #13 who can match the calibre we have at #6,#7 and starting #9. We have already sorted #1 for next season.

Too old to have a "dual-registration" arrangement.

I think you have to be under 23.
