I assume the move for Dufty has come about since Widdop was ruled out for the season, so if Widdop had not got injured at Magic, Cooper would still be with us?

They take (calculated) risks with their youngsters, rather than "throw them under buses" after mistakes. We're proof that chequebook rugby doesn't work (atm)'"
I've been critical of our recruitment in the past and not giving the youth a go but the truth is we don't have any forwards in the academy big enough or ready to play SL yet. Therefore signing these Aussies on 2 year deals will tie us over till we are ready. You cannot really fault us bringing the young lads in this season. Thewlis, Ashton, Wrench and Dean have all featured regularly. Add to that throwing Matty Nicholson straight into the first team when he's never played SL before. |

I'm really pleased with this signing as the article states more than once that he's "electric" and proves that we are nothing if not forward thinking at Warrington and taking global warming seriously.
None of your fossil fuelled types for us it seems, although you could argue that recycling older players has green credentials

Just think of our carbon footprint, transporting NRL rejects for one last pay cheque. Greta Thunder**** will be fuming. |

If you're going down the environmental route isn't Powell driving back and to over the Pennines every day too?

Not unless he's moved out of Lymm... |

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg |

But you could say this about every signing we make from outside the club. Thewlis Wrench and Riley have been given new contracts suggesting the club sees a future for them. I hope we have signed Duffty and he turns out not to be a Duff(y). |

In typical Warrington fashion, we’ll probably forget to have the charging point installed, and he’ll be rendered useless after one and a half games. |

It sounds like they were very excited about what he could do with the Bulldogs. How did he perform, did he live up to these expectations? Why are they looking to move him on after a year?
If he does well here he wouldn't be the first NRL player with flaws to be very successful in SL, but I don't particularly get great vibes from this and it feels like a lot of our recent signings where we're paying big money to give a lifeline to an Aussie player who wants a big contract but can't get one in the NRL, and they haven't turned out to be successful.

Powell says he sees him as an out and out fullback. Hasn’t considered him playing at 6. Presumably that means Thewlis will be mainly on the wing in 2023.

Well, he's going to have to score more than he lets in. And that's not going to be easy for him with both the amount of line breaks we are allowing the opposition to make, and also the lack of penetration with our own attack.
Dufty says fans either love or hate him. I hope he realises that being at the back of a very poor Warrington defence could have most fans on his back straight from the off.
We'll see I guess...  |
