It looks to have made bigger UK national press and UK social media coverage than Austin, Widdop and Barba did....and very likely than all three together.
It's made national noises to rival Solomona and Charnley.'"
It really hasn’t, go on the BBC Rugby Union section and there isn’t even a single mention of it. That shows how much they care about it.

| He was quick. Not sure if he’s retained that at 31. He’s been pretty injury free I think and he will lose a bit of bulk so could potentially quicken him up.
If he’s not counting towards the cap then it has to be good business. If it doesn’t work out. No harm done. If it does then we have a like for like replacement for Atkins.

Burrell will play centre or loose. Atkins and Westwood to become deeper squad players.'"
Yeah sounds about right . Never played rugby league before so he should slot right in at that easy position loose forward at 31.
We will see if he is a good signing in due course but for young lads at Warrington it must be hard to take that’s the point I’m trying to make , Rochdale with be happy though

| almost a risk free signing.... He could spend a full season, with it not having worked out, and walk away having not counted on the salary cap.
or he could be a solid signing, whom we get unbelievable value from.
Great bit of business by the club.
Also, great to see the saints fans absolutely fuming in this thread.

If they’re only good enough for Rochdale, there’s no point in your point

| Quote: ratticusfinch "They have had the gall to have a pop at Wigans WCC effort where i thought they played well and showed up SL in a good light. According to saints fans though they were an embarrassment etc.....conveniently forgetting that their last two WCC appearances resulted in a 62-0 aggregate whomping!!! Theyve also been saying 'glad we got rid of Barba' as if it was their decision! A strange, strange breed. We'll win the next 5 GFs but they will have 1 more home grown player than us in their squad thereby giving them the moral high ground....playing in the totally wicked stadium sponsored by cash converters. Laughable. Im not happy with Widnes' plight....if Saints were to fold i'd laugh my little cobblers off!'"
This is as wide of the mark as rubberduckies usual predictions. Our last two WCC games have actually result in a win against Brisbane and a loss against South Sydney.
How many times have you won the World Club Challenge? Even Widnes can say they've won one!
Lets us know how many World Club Challenges Wire have played in and how many times you picked up the trophy in them.

| An 11 page thread about a new signing where half of it turns into a bitching contest with stains trolls.......this board is becoming less and less interesting to this Wire fan, think I'll stick to the prediction thread and leave the rest well alone in future

Yes I just watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LzaUwr8I5U and he seems to have power, pace, a side-step, can hit hard in defense, good handling and the ability to find a good pass.

My thoughts exactly, it's puerile. I wouldn't mind so much but I bet those involved are grown men with families yet they sound like children. What on earth motivates one to visit a provincial town rugby league club website with the sole intention of causing irritation.
Basically the 11 pages of the exchange distill down to 1) I believe my rugby league club is better than yours/no it's not and 2) I don't rate your new signing/we do which is clogging up the discussion between Warrington fans on views of the new signing.
There is no exploring ideas, debate, problem solving. Absolutely nothing positive. It's tragic and boring.
As Sally says I hope Burrell does not read this as he will think all those Northern stereotypes of scarcely educated slurring simpletons is true.

Totally agree. The usual idiot feeding the saints fans.

Might be time to do what they seem to do on the Wigan forum and ban lots of opposition fans.
