My word. We wanted a top quality prop and this is who we have signed. Panic signing, our recruitment results leave a lot to be desired.

Ferres looking likely to be available, we should de reg Harrison and get him in.

Or offer Huby a way out....

How many world class props as there, how many are available, how many want to play in the UK, how many want to play for Warrington?? = probably none
How many good props as there, how many are available, how many want to play in the UK, how many want to play for Warrington?? = maybe 1 or 2 but they also want to play for Wigan, St's Leeds ect.
How many average props as there, how many are available, how many want to play in the UK, how many want to play for Warrington?? = probably 3 or 4 and again they would play for all the other clubs if offered a contract.
Some people on here think that the recruitment is dead easy, find a player offer him money and get his signature !!
Has anyone thought that Cox is the only player that fits in the criteria above and therefore we have signed the best young prop available to us.
We have all been calling for another prop, we get one and we are all moaning !!!!! unbelievable

Really agree marshman777, I think we've been spoilt too much in recent years and need to be grateful for the excellent recruitment we've already made.

Is Cox a substantial improvement on England ? Will Dodds be on the pitch more than Asotasi ? Have we ever really replaced Morley, Carvell and Wood ?

Even recognising the market forces, a fans forum is absolutely the right place to discuss the club's recruitment policy, and seeming lack of ambition.

I've got to fully agree with his shiny and I'm a bit disappointed that having got ourselves out of the doldrums, we've slipped a bit and seem ill prepared in the transfer/recruitment market on the face of it

Cox is not as good as England at spitting.

"seeming lack of ambition" - care to explain that?

I thought we had paid two six figure transfer fees, one of only two clubs to use the marquee exemption to sign a player, signed a prop who has just played in the NRL grand final and an ex Aussie international who has just been voted player of the year for his club in the NRL.

Just because we sign somebody who has 64 SL games to his name and when ever I've seen him looked a decent prospect with plenty of size to replace a championship level prop who never took his chance to step up in class you're whinging like a 10 year old schoolgirl on Christmas morning who didn't get the My Little Pony they asked for.

Whenever you've seen him play you must have seen something a lot of posters on here and social media have failed to notice. We've signed a player from a club that have consistently finished below us in Super League yet have released him, who's had various internal disciplinary issue at Hull KR, has suffered various injuries and by his own admission gets ill very easily following the removal of his spleen.

I would love him to do well at Warrington, but I make no apologies for being underwhelmed at signing him. The good thing is is that its only a 12 month contract, so not a massive risk considering he'll be a squad player.

You mention posters are acting like 10 year old girls not getting My Little Ponies, but it comes across in your post that your doing the same yourself because you don't seem to like the criticism his signing has brought. Quite ironic that.

He's replacing Anthony England for God's sake not Les Boyd. All your criticisms of Cox apply to England as well.

Do you honestly believe England is better than Cox?

Anyway my gripe with the whinging spoilt schoolgirl contingent is the accusation of lack of ambition.

That'll be "whinging like a 10 year old schoolgirl on Christmas morning..." who invests their time and money in supporting the club, who therefore feels entitled to express their opinion, which perhaps differs from your own.

I really hope Jordan kicks on and proves he can make it at super league level
For some unknown reason to me he has never played front row for us he has always played back row under 3 different coaches now,
I guess the writing was on the wall for him last season when we was down to bare bones in the pack and we sent Cox out on loan to hudds (Where he played back row as well), if rumours are to be believed he was on the way out at the end of the season but Jamie peacock wanted to have a look at him see if there was anything to work with but that didn't take long if we have released him after a week back at training

You can express your opinions all you want however when you make totally unfounded statements then expect to be challenged about it. That is what a forum is meant to be about.

So why do you think the club is "seeming to lack ambition"?
