| Can't say I'm overly disappointed in missing out on either, Burgess would have been good on the right deal and would only count for £100k on the cap so there would have been benefits, but we shouldn't be overpaying for a prop who will be 32 with a tough NRL career behind him. Both Sam & George retired at 30 (though admittedly they had hip / shoulder problems that Tom has so far avoided), so will be interesting to see how Tom does, hopefully he has 3 good years in the comp.
On Johnstone he would be on big money I imagine, and though he had a relatively injury free year last season his record isn't great, I'm not a massive fan of spending big money on wingers.

| If we’re going to spend silly money like Hudds, let’s save it for Joey Manu who’s available for next year. He’d be good backup for Thewlis, King or Wrench next year, providing he can keep Lindop out of the side of course.

| How much more worthwhile & exciting it would be to develop our own youngsters than speculate on imports who may or may not prove to be what we need .

Not that familiar with the the NRL players so had to google Joey Manu and found this article about a possible move to the dark side, which is hot off the press. (It will take mega money to bring him here).

Not a great week with Tom Johnstone also turning us down.'"
It`s seems strange that Tom Burgess wouldn`t tell Sam about Huddersfield`s offer and Sam would then have informed his Warrington bosses.
I can understand that the Warrington hierarchy wouldn`t have have been aware of Huddersfield bid though the official communications.
Something doesn`t ring true?

I asked this question when I was told, as surely the brothers speak to each other ? It all seems really strange. I could of course give my opinion, but that matters for nothing. I'd rather just post the facts that I'm told.
I'm sure it will all come out in the wash.

Yeah, he's just a little bit good... as you can probably now tell I was being a little bit sarcastic with the 'as backup' comments

| He's definitely in the top 10 backs in the world. He'd be worth silly money. This is really in the unlikely column though.

I think he’s already signed with Racing 92, just waiting to be confirmed. Why anyone would choose good wine, fine food and nice weather over gentrified Stockton Heath is beyond me?

Depends on money offered to them, which is the first thing that entices players to clubs,especially the ones in the latter end of their career, you’d be surprised the players that are being linked with Wakefield for next season .

If you believe what’s written in the paper in Sydney, he’s been offered 4 years at $ 1.5 million AUD or $ 780,000 GBP per season to play Rugby Union in France

Pah! He hasn't had a look at Simon Moran's offer yet, with the additional perk of a mansion with swimming pool overlooking Hill Cliffe, and a 4 year subscription to the Costa Unlimited Coffee app for use in Stockton Heath. He can get his French red wine in Bargain Booze if need be.

Any chance of further details, I don`t do Twitter and the article is locked to me?
