I heard that one of warringtons ex players will be rejoining the club in 2012

A mate of mine spoke to richie mathers after fridays game and he might be coming back as brett hodgson's injury could mean he is finished and if he plays it may be off the bench

Also heard Chris Hicks might be coming back on a 1 year deal to replace King

errrrrrrrrrrm

I also heard that Father Christmad is going to Florida for the whole of December and the pope is going to start refusing to work on a Sunday.

Both would be a retrograde step for a club like Warrington. Hicks is a quality player but at his age isn't a positive move.

There must be a fullback and someone who can cover wing/centre in the Wire academy, given you reached the Grand Final. It's time to put some faith in those and I doubt this rumour is true.

Wire have a serious problem with ageing players, Morley, Monaghan x 2, Carvell, Westwood, Hodgson, Briers, Wood, Higham, Solomona and with King, Clarke and Anderson all leaving, then surely the time has come to give their kids a chance? if not, then whats the point in having U18's & 20's?

I'm guessing you don't follow a lot of Wire games or at least don't look at the ages of our players? We've got tons of young players in the team, especially in the crucial positions.

As for cover at fullback I'm actually coming round to think that Riley is a better option than Hodgson, who keeps bottling it in big games. Still, there'll be even more youngsters coming through next year, with some excellent prospects coming through so onwards and upwards.

I heard Wainwright mentioned too.

maybe i should lock this before the meltdown that post could create

I reckon 5 of those will finish at the end of next season, Leaving us with a big chunk of salary cap to spend and 2 quota spaces to fill .. Add to that all of our Youngsters who have shone through this year, Cooper, Blythe , Riley, Gaz obrien , Rhys Evans.. Then theres the likes of Bridge , harrison , myler, Atkins. Ohh and to Cap it all Tony Smith .. We'll be fine thanks

That sounds plausable, with Jon Clarke leaving a certain section of our crowd won't have anyone left to boo.

Anyway, it sounds more plausable than Richie Mathers coming back, surely they would have asked Derek Whitehead or Steve Hesford first.

There is NO ONE I would have back at Warrington. Anyone who has left in the last 5 years has gone because they were not good enough.

Chris Hicks ? Matt King ?

It has been confirmed today that Nick Fozzard has been released by Cas.

The return of the concrete pillow?

His agent got him Rauhihi's old contract then, good going that.
