Who was it who said that? I asked if someone could find the original Waterhouse thread and someone found the second one. Anyway, I think Waterhouse has come thrown the Warrington Overseas Player Grief Cycle:-
Phase 1 - Warrington sign big name Australian player.
Phase 2 - Fans of other clubs, usually Rogues, complain that he isn't a) young b) British and that as a result he isn't interested and Warrington shouldn't have signed him.
Phase 3 - He doesn't score a hatrick on his debut. Murmurs of discontent.
Phase 4 - He also fails to score hatricks in first 2 months. More concern.
Phase 5 - 1st Thread on RL Fans - about him leaving fans cold.
Phase 6 - People actually use their eyes.
Phase 7 - 2nd Thread on RL Fans - people start to appreciate the performances.
Phase 8 - Continues to play well. Every. Single. Week. (pretty much)
Phase 9 - 3rd Thread on RL Fans (see above).
