And it’s fair if it is a legitimate query, but he makes it personal. He never posts giving an opposing opinion he as a go at the poster has Wires71 said.

People are allowed to post what they want whether it be true or as you say pearl clutching. Said it once I don’t post saying it’s true unless I really do know but tbh I leave that to Abe since most trust him.

Well every day is a school day as I've learned that "pearl clutching" is actually a thing. I must admit that when I first read it my mind boggled to the point where I actually winced whilst going into defensive cover mode thinking of possible Lineham-esque attention

I had to check what it was too.

Are you & Wires71 the same person ? You do seem a bit similar & both a bit super sensitive about criticism of your views but splash it about regarding players' abilities & livelihood.

I hope I didn’t cause anything worse than a coffee sinus wash*


*Not a euphemism either!

Firstly no we are not and secondly who are you to talk about sensitivity. Any comment made or here you don’t like you attack the poster. Just me and Wires71 won’t let you get away with it.

Starting to feel I’m going around in circles here but if you came on and gave an opposing opinion to any post you disagreed with then fine but you don’t. And it’s obvious you don’t like it when we have a go back at you. YOU are the only poster we have this with. God help when the season starts again and we critique any players, maybe you should go lay down in a dark room for awhile.

We are the same in that we will always call out your continual attempts at supressing opinions you don't like.

This is the Warrington Wolves RL Fans forum - of course everyone is going to express personal opinions on player abilities and contract extensions (livelihoods if you will).

Criticise my views as much as you like - play the ball and not the man. But, in my opinion, the position of "don't post negatives as his mum may be reading" (yes you did urge this) is indefensible.

I just don't get this entitlement of yours (perhaps you are a millennial or Gen Z?) which gives you the impression you have the right to tell people what they can and cannot post when you are triggered. We have an Acceptable Use Policy for that which is set by the admins - not me, not Karetaker, and not you.

He was accusing Karetaker of deliberately spreading fake news. That's not a query, it's an accusation. Karetaker was just passing on what he heard, he never vouched for it. It's offered "as is" as a rumour and these boards are full of them.

I didn't see the agitator jumping down the throat of the author of the "Vaughan to Leigh" rumour or any of the others we get. It's a personal vendetta with him/her/them.

Selective viewing

This is the original quote. I asked whether the source was someone who knew SB well so that I could judge whether I should take it seriously or not.
It is obviously up to karetaker what he posts, but it also legitimate to ask questions like this. A simple “yes” or “no” would give context. I genuinely don’t understand the reluctance to answer, or maybe i should treat the non answer as an answer?

Apparently Leigh are supposed to be wanting a back not a forward.

Makes no sense at all as it's not a rebuild year at all, 3 players coming in to a squad that will barely change isn't a rebuild year. And there's absolutely no way Burgess would say he's not expecting much next year, he's not that kind of person and will be pushing to win.

Wrench if he picks up a few more injuries i'd let go.

Whilst Tai isn't great as a skillful centre, he's still only 25 with his first year at the top level under his belt. The thing that will tell with him is if he can learn and add more to his attacking range. Or it could be his last year with Lindop Getting more game time to help him develop.

Musgrove so far has just been an ok squad filler, But Burgess thinks he's played really well for us so can see him getting a new contract.

Ratchford i think will only play a handful of games next year, to cover injuries or when resting players.

Crowther is great and covers the forward line, and will put 100% in wherever he plays, would be happy to extend his contract.

*** Also just as a side note having read the other comments, this isn't me having a go at you at all, or calling you a liar or anything. I'm happy to hear all rumours, gossip etc I'm just saying i find it hard to believe

I agree it doesn't sound like a Burgess thing to say but there has been quite a turnover in playing roster from the 2023 squad.
