What some people don't realise is he signed for Wire already. Visa or not Wire hold his registration.
He was never going anywhere else without the club say so

BMM has joined up with the squad in Wales.

The image alongside King and Sitaleki on the guardian website is clearly photoshopped it’s a conspiracy.

And how apt we are using a Welsh Rugby Union training ground for the week - I fully expect the whole squad to announce their ‘retirement’ from Rugby League this week with a fast-track into the Welsh National RU team based on the fact they once holidayed in Rhyl for an afternoon.

Price and Henderson to become technical advisers for Warrington Sports Holdings new Welsh RU franchise the Llandewi Brefi Daffodils.

Oh good.
Scrap the reserve team and employ yet another overpaid antipodean/south sea islander!!
That's the way to do it, follow the Hull model.

why should Chris bridge have been sent off again?

I have a lot of respect for Hull FC. It is a great club. I would like us to emulate them, get back to winning trophies again.

Have you been drinking?

Wigan have the best youth system in SL by a mile but have blocked a lot of that young talent with the likes of Tautai, Leulai, Gelling, FPN, Escare etc...

I’d love Warrington to have a team of all local British talent but the fact is that last year with only 2 overseas players in the squad we didn’t do very well. So I’ve put my all-British dream on hold until we win a couple of titles. Could be a while though.

I agree we have gone doolally like Hull, however it's clearly a quick fix the later failings of TS and Agar...Unlike Hull, Wire have a full commitment for youth and A team structures, and are the only club period spending money in tens of thousands to recruit the best of teenager talent.

Hull have a half hearted approach sharing half the effort with Rovers, who I think have been the more successful than fc in brooding talent in their area.

However Rogues, it's the successful Pie model Wire are more taken too. Wire owe much of our strong rivalry to the Wigan youth structure...and I'm fairly sure they'll be more Wigan borough prodigies in the Wire team at any one time than there will be south sea islanders....

Anyways..."(Wire)scrap the reserve team"?
Where have your seen that?

It'll be interesting to see how Duckie twists the above to mean he was telling us that Warrington are not running a reserve team this year when it becomes apparent to everyone.

What did Bridge do to warrant a sending off anyway?

Struggling to see where Warrington are failing to promote English talent and youth?

Probably tried to gouge out Hock’s fingernails with his eyeball. And probably should have banned for months whilst Hock was in Manicure Rehab.

Seriously though, as much as I would like to see Warrington keep a reserve, I’m happy enough with the dual registration deal. It’s probably a slightly higher intensity and there’s not much value in playing against the same players from the same teams 5 times a season.

Since we are wealthy enough to purchase our dual reg partners what would be the difference in having them as our reserves playing in a different location, and having a reserve team in our name playing at Victoria Park? Same result but better exposure for our players and they get to mix with other players a bit more and that can only be good.

Because its weakening the Championship teams? Championship lads are missing out at the expense of a few SL Players who aren't able to force their way in. The Reserves Comp needs to be brought back.

I would also like to keep the reserves team, but only if every club in SL did the same so that it's a menaingful competition. Back in the 60, 70s, 80s every club had an 'A' team. Of course, costs were a lot lower then as players were part time, but, then again, revenue was far lower, too.
