Indeed - only Warrington fans could quibble at signing SBW - especially in this current climate of bog average players in SL. Obviously it's not going to happen but every team in Super League or NRL would love to sign him. Mind you if Smith is still here - SBW would struggle to shift Jack Hughes out of the squad.

Would they learn as much as our halfbacks did from Joey, or our pack from Asotasi, as the skill transfer there has been somewhat lacking perhaps?

Another short term "fix" really isn't what we need.

You're welcome to dream that SBW will be great for the club, but please allow others to express their desire for realism and sustainable player development.

I'd be delighted if you signed him. Unlikely to affect where next year's trophies end up but would add immense interest to the comp.

Considering we have a team at the top of the competition that has got there through team work & without expensive players, i think that is the way forward. Not much use breaking the bank for a prima donna if you can only afford a team of poorly paid reserves to play alongside him. Our quality this season has not been much better without an overpriced star in our ranks.

Have we made a big mistake? Andre Savelio plays down Australian media reports calling him 'The English Sonny Bill Williams' www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/spo ... mparisons/

I'm worried about him making the trip to australia, he's wearing flight socks on the field during matches, god knows how he'll cope during a twenty hour journey.

I wish Savelio all the luck in the world & hope can make it over there.

You don't think SBW has fulfilled his potential?

Two rah World Cups
Two NRL premierships
Two NRL minor prems
One 'Super' (?) rugby champs
RLIF player of the year
12 NZRL caps
33 All Black caps (31 wins)
WBA boxing champ

No worries. Our own SBW wants another year. www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/spo ... more_year/

Andre Savelio will be huge in Aus.
He's a forward that is direct and elusive at the same time.
A very unique forward. The Aussies will love it.

Savelio hasn't stood out here, what makes anyone confident that he will step up just because he is moving to Aus. I hope he does, just can't see any basis for it.

He needs to make sure he's on it for 80 minutes though, he seems to drift in games a little for me.
