I'd say it's definately us, we're the only club linked with him for quite awhile now, and now it's confirmed he's coming to Super league Definately us, so i'd say that's our starting props sorted,, Vaughn and Dudson

I have a similar opinion, he does a good job as a squad player and I can't doubt his effort, but he's never going to be a first team player at a club that wants to challenge. I also think its a signing that a Wigan / Saints / Leeds would never have have made, as the position would have been taken up by the next 19 year old kid off the production line. I hope signings of the likes of Davis, Clark (for this season) and to a lesser extent Butler will now be things of the past, as - whisper it quietly - the Academy & Scholarship seems to be moving in the right direction; Thewlis, Wrench Longstaff & Dean coming in to first team consideration and 8 or 9 players in the Academy (more than any other club) involved in the Roses game at Salford in a couple of weeks. With Anderson and now Marshall heading that coaching up over the past few years, its clear its being targeted as a priority.
Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "
Longstaff (imo) isn't big enough, i know there's rumours circulating now but i thought this previously, he's been overhyped by some here as he's got a bit of a nasty streak to him, and isn't jack hughes. I've not seen anything to suggest he's better than sam wilde or benjamin julien.'"
Jury still out for me, he is well behind Thewlis & Wrench in terms of development and readiness for first team and he IS small, but the difference between him, Wildie would be we know Wildie hasn't made it, Longstaff has a shot I think - but I'm not as convinced as some other on here that he will be first choice back row for the next ten years...

I'd be right out against signing gildart, have we not learned anything about signing english players coming back from the NRL on stupid wages? i wasn't that convinced by him when he was playing for wigan, i dont want to give him twice as much money to be ineffective here.
Longstaff (imo) isn't big enough, i know there's rumours circulating now but i thought this previously, he's been overhyped by some here as he's got a bit of a nasty streak to him, and isn't jack hughes. I've not seen anything to suggest he's better than sam wilde or benjamin julien.
I dont know too much about the other nrl players you've named, but i'll throw something out here, at the moment, the club can't win. If they sign established names, and they dont come off, we've vexed money up the walls, if we sign lesser known players its another shocker of a signing, you can see there's value to go for a solid nrl half (cust, croft, lino) and we've had people after the wakefield game saying, why didn't we sign lino rather than paying over the odds for williams and widdop, if we had been linked with him the reaction would be as i've said above.
its very frustrating all this'"
And there we have the nub of the problem. Chapeau FMC

| Matt Davis to Leigh for next year, not a surprise after his Dads comments on Twitter about his contract. Good luck Matt, been solid, just too small to make any impact, a good example of always giving 100%

| Glad he's gotten a contract sorted. Always gives 100% on the field and you can't knock that, put his drive in a bigger guy and they would excel. Good cover player for us and i hope he does well at Leigh, and they should be in Super league next year anyway

| .Are we shaping up to look something like this next year given confirmed and strongly rumoured signings?
1 Thewlis/Ratchford
2 Wrench
3 Mata'utia
4 King
5 Ashton
6 Dufty/Dean
7 Williams
8 Vaughan
9 Walker
10 Dudson
11 Holmes
12 Currie
13 Maguire
14 Clark
15 Kasiano
16 Mikaele
17 Harrison
with the additional of Philbin, Bullock, Minikin, Longstaff plus a sprinkling of some excellent Academy lads stepping up.
Questions for me still about:
1) lack of punch in the second row although we may find they get a lot more space next season off a more dominant front row
2) leadership and captaincy
3) goal kicking if Ratchford not starting
but overall an improvement on this year with lots of pace in the backs in Wrench, Thewlis, Ashton and Dufty and a stronger front row.

Not a mile off, would love Tanginoa to replace Currie or Holmes though.

Currie`s contract with Wire expires in November 2023.
Unless there is a massive improvement in form and ATTITUDE, he will be shown the door.
Tanginoa would be a brilliant replacement.

| Well i'm reading whatever i want in to Daryl Clarks instagram post. But he's posted 4 pictures, 1 of him and all the warrington lads, 1 of him and Mata'utia with their shirts, 1 of him being presented his shirt by Konrad Hurrell, aaaaand.........1 picture randomly of just Him and Kelepi Tanginoa but no pictures of any other player from the team. My excitement level just jumped up quite a bit I'm taking that as a yes for him signing with us ha ha ha i don't care how much i'm jumping the gun and reading in to it what i will ha ha
***Update...i said on his post Tanginoa is a Wire and he's a dream signing and Clark has like my post. I'm taking that as 100% ha ha ha
