Brett - Has still got the touch, Maybe another year to bring Ratch on ?

Mickey - HAs been playing some top rugby . Another year

Tyke - Looks like the real deal to me . Sign him up

Mitchell - Another we wouldnt really notice if gone?

Briers - Heres the kiddie. 1/2 salary and could teach Halfback play to anyone and still only 33.. - two years

How many times does it have to be said? Ty McCarthy is contracted to the end of 2013.

There are rumours that Saints are signing one from your academy and a former Warrington academy player from Australia. Laithwaite and Cooper?

Laithwaites' contract finishes this year. Sounds like he wants out.
Another reason why we will sign Bateman.

jack cooper will go saints he is a good player too

Hope everyone else doesn't resign or we'll have no team! I imagine you mean re-sign?

So a rumour on the Saints board (that actually started with them apparently signing Ben Currie but when that was laughed out of court it became another second row from our u20s so it must be Laithwaite) now translates to "sound like he wants out".

What's happened to all the wonder kids from Warrington that Saints signed a couple of years back? At that time that supposedly sounded the death knell of Warrington's youth development.

That's the nature of rumours isn't it. The initial rumour that Saints were looking to sign a Warrington academy backrower was just that, there were no names attached. People came on here asking which ones it could be. Warrington themselves have been partial to a rumour or two per season for the last decade that never came true. The Laithwaite one does sound realistic in principal, out of contract with Warrington and not in your setup currently as he's on dual registration with Leigh. At 20, it's kind of first team or bust at Warrington for him now, particularly with the likes of Currie and Dwyer(?) in the first team ahead of him and you rumoured to be splashing the cash on Bateman.

The Warrington youth players we signed that were discussed on here are still too young are they not? They were signed at 14 three or four years ago? I know there are a few Warrington lads in our Under 18s now.

Well Saddened, Laithwaite could be 'realistic in principle', after all there are very few of us that really know what is going on. However, the Championship is a well trodden path to determine the quality of up and coming youngsters and Laithwaite appears to have had a very promising season with Leigh to date. He is viewed as an essential part of the Leigh team by their supporters, has scored quite a few tries, and been given MOM awards. So after nurturing the lad, I would be surprised if the Wire would easily let him go. I would have thought a more likely scenario would be for him to return to the HJ next season and play ? 8/9 1st team games. Perhaps they might swap Laithwaite and Currie on the DR at Leigh ?

Saints went in for Cooper before he went to Australia. I think it's a done deal your bringing him back.

Every year there's a thread on that at the end of the season from some kid's parents telling us that their son has signed for Saints because they get a proper rugby education at Saints whereas all Warrington do is make kids do weights and run laps and no skills training. I am still waiting for any of ex Warrington lad to make it with Saints or even at any other SL club! Apart from Scully of course who was different as he was already a top player with us and signed for a large fee.

I remember going back ten years or so the one we had missed out on was Jon Braddish who was compared to a young Sculthorpe, what happened to him? I think he played a bit of first team under Millward at one point?

Iestyn Harris & Terry Newton.

Wasn't there a huge thread on here a couple of years ago involving Kane Ditchfield having signed for Saints and that Wire didn't deserve to keep good young players. Am I right in thinking the same lad is now back at Warrington?
