Saints are trying desperately to get this kid on loan until the end of the season with a view to signing him permanently (does his contract run out ?) The sticky point is Lee Briers fitness.

I thought he was highly rated at Wire ? Seems like they're willing to let him go next season.

Contracted to 2015.

Ratchford and Myler have been used in the halves whilst Briers has been out. He has only had 3 games for us, plus a loan spell with Cas and a few games with Swinton.

Let Saints suffer. Keep him at Warrington.
All Saints have given us is grief & Chris Morely. (And Lee Briers)

He's a nice bloke Gareth and a shame if we let him go but can understand that he may be frustrated. Hope to god if he goes on loan we don't let him play against us.

NO NO AND NO i'm with BWW, let them rot, Scully&Foz and all those matches lost still raw, suffer Saints enjoy not even making the playoffs, BOOOOOOOOOOOO FOOOOORRRRRRRRWARD

I like the words Saints and desperate featuring in the same sentence.

We should do everything in our power to continue that trend.

As for wanting Gaz ...two words....F*** OFF!

I have heard that he has already signed for Saints on loan til the end of the season. However there is certainly no desire to let Gareth leave on a permanent basis. Gareth will benefit from playing for one of the bottom half clubs and getting regular game time.

If he goes then he'll be the best goal kicker they've had since Paul Loughlin!

its great that we can help these smaller clubs out. These loan deals help out the likes of Cas and Saints while benefiting us and the player in the long run.

Also, playing behind the best pack in the league should really bring his game along.

Haha, I was going to post something similar but was out all morning so you beat me to it.

I think we should try and be generous though when it comes to the 'halves and halves not'.

If Gareth O Brien does go to Saints, part of the deal should include Williams.

You're just trying to get me to agree with you twice in one day.

Watch what you ask for - he could go there and do what John Fieldhouse did (for the younger fans he became a strong running prop instead of the drop ball specialist he was at the Wire!!!)

Never forgive Fieldhouse for the late in the game try under the sticks for the Stains that knocked Wire of the Challenge Cup in 1988(ish).

I thought John Fieldhouse went to Widnes before going to Saints.

Lets not cut our own nose off. GOB is a talent, but needs games to eradicate the errors and to learn the game at the top level. Lets use Saints, send him there on loan, ply his trade there for the rest of the year (with a recall clause) and let him develop. He'll get the errors out of his system and learn a lot, then come back to us a better player.

Makes sense to loan him out to me
