It came to an abrupt end when Cleary asked Alexa: "Alexa, compare Warrington to the beaches of Sydney" and "Alexa, is Nathan Cleary worth more than Blake Austin's wage packet?".

From Cleary to Leyland? Ah well at least the chippys around the HJ will be happy with us signing Leyland.

I'm sure that we can whip him into shape...
I did keep an eye on him when we played London and without being too harsh as he's young and played in a well beaten team and I've liked what I've seen previously (in glimpses), but I think that the lad fluffed his lines if that was an audition.
Maybe it was a simple touch of the hors d'oeuvres, the thrill of the greasepaint and smell of the crowd, or playing against his future teammates thinking he had a point to prove but he's a project signing for me.

That's why I had a problem with his signing at th3 time it was raised, we've now got 2 projects 7s.

Hope so Rico. He's currently got a bigger pot belly than me.

Quote ="Builth Wells Wire"Wire are seeking to sign England’s RU star prop Ellis Genge'"
I am hoping this is not true.
Warrington CEO Karl Fitzpatrick hopes to persuade the England prop to switch codes after meeting him at a celebrity fishing event in July
Thought the ar5ehole had been quiet for a bit. Does he learn NOTHING? This is a Burrell Mk II.
Why can't we just sign a great proven RL prop?? Always us with the edgy, out there PR flop signings.

just to say as well, the level of tackling in that vid is awful, but there's a lot of stuff in there, definite yellow this season in league, but i thought they went mental in RU for anything near the head?

| I am glad our thoroughly professional recruitment process for 2025 /26 is well underway. Detailed videos, statistics, assessments and references from our Northern and Southern hemisphere scouting network balanced against our needs assessment agreed with the performance team, long lists whittled down to short lists - not forgetting the chance vital celebrity fishing trip to give us the inside line.
I can just imagine Chambers reporting up to the board that for 2025 we need an out of condition, big bopper, with random offload, who will be blowing after 10 minutes who has never played RL before.
FFS Just do one Fitzpatrick. You are a joke. When will you learn? Or is this the owners playing with the train set again?
In case you are wondering how this well go.
Fitzpatrick on Burrell - Abject failure
Wire chief executive Karl Fitzpatrick says the club could not pass up the opportunity to sign Burrell and he expects him to be a big hit with the Wolves faithful. “Opportunities like this don’t come along that often, to sign a player of Luther’s quality and playing CV is fantastic for the club and for Super League. “Having played most of his junior rugby in league, Luther is aware of the required skill-set and the physical demands. “His impressive stature, bone-crunching hits and dynamic running are sure to make him a firm favourite with our supporters.”
Fitzpatrick on Inglis - Abject failure
"This is not a pay day and he is not coming for a pension." Fitzpatrick says it is a boost now just for The Wire, but the wider game during the current pandemic which has seen rugby league, along with most other areas of life, shut down. He added: "It is incredible. This is a signing for all our members and partners to thank them for their loyalty. "This is something for them to look forward too during these tough times. "He looks in great condition and is refreshed and raring to go."

| Ellis Genge was the first name that came into my head when I was thinking who would be second choice after we failed to sign Nate Cleary.

You haven’t seen his short kicking game. I mean, it’s really short. Those legs couldn’t move enough to kick it any further.

| Is it Genge or Joe Marler who is good mates with Burgess?
If Burgess wouldn’t pay over the top for his own brother, I doubt he’d be up for signing Genge.
Then again, I’m not sure how the cap rules would make it work. If it was at minimal expense on the cap, and Moran just wanted another vanity project to attract RU fans from down the road in Sale, then that’s up to him.
Didn’t work with Burrell though, so I hope Sam isn’t obliged to make it work.

| Frankly I dont believe it…there can’t possibly be such a thing as a “celebrity fishing competition”.
I mean what celebrity would be stupid enough to eat a worm covering a hook….oh is that why KFP was there?

The hook accidentally got caught on one of his huge Crucifix ear rings as he was taking a walk along the canal.

Chris Hill did, and played for England the same year. So not a crazy suggestion by any means.

| Honestly couldn't careless if we did sign him, he wouldn't count on the cap for his first year, and only 50% the second year.
If he worked out then happy days, if not see ya later. He'd need to lose about a stone i reckon to improve on his fitness......tackling.......etc but this could be a random rumour that some desperate journo has made up, or Karl himself drumming up publicity.

| Not much chance of us signing Genge. He is a as strong a runner as we have playing for England but it is currently very thin. Someone making up stories. I quite like us being in the news & we have history. Thankfully we now have a gritty lot of players & coach so it really makes no odds.
