Useful player thats for sure, not washed up for me at all

I certainly wouldnt have signed a 30 year old as the warrington chairman, given you have a fair few over thirties, but its a difficult market out there and at the very least youll have a quality player for 2/3/4 years.

Darren Lockyer 34 and still being chosen above all the Australian youth until he retires

age is just a number - its attitude that counts

Tony Puletua is 32 and Saints think he is a god!!!

Age aside, I'd have said Waterhouse was much the better player. If he's still in decent shape this will strengthen Wire in 2012, a good outcome for you I'd have thought.

How long into next season before people on here start packing his bags and sending him home?

Much better than Tony Puletua? Or much better than Louie Anderson?

He's better than both.

Time will tell on that.

My lad is said 13yr old half-back who has the 7 squad number for Warrington Service Area and is also the scrum-half for the Cheshire and North Lancashire RFU squads. He will be playing for Blackbrook next season so if St Helens want him on their service area I will have a look to see who offers the best future opportunity. It is a little disappointing to see the club not promoting from within but SL is a results business and supporters are not very patient!

My mate's younger brother moved from Warrington's scholarship to Saints'. He moved, basically, because they offered him an extra day of training and, what he deemed, a better and more determined route to the top. Your lad will probably take the same route unless things have changed. Saying that, my mate's brother had been there before Bastian arrived, and, whilst he liked Bastian, he was already half-set on moving.

RR: Trent Waterhouse will undergo scans tomorrow on a suspected medial tear. If serious, might be the last game he plays for the Panthers."

Sad news if true, lets hope he is fully fit for the start of 2012.
