£100k in the transfer kitty (hopefully), a fair chunk off the salary cap, let the replacement speculation commence.

Vinnie at centre as we have an abundance of back rowers all eager and able to play in the team this season any thoughts

I agree totaly, its just the player that you have got that is the problem IMO.

No great loss in my oppinion. He never wanted to come to us anyway think Saints forced the transfer. Danny Brough from Wakefield would be good buy. Top play maker and exellent kicker

How old is Brough?

He can do a job there. But to me, that is just compounding the current situation of our backline not really posing a threat at from scoring distance.

don't know how i feel about this, in smith we trust yes, but as the saints troll says, it's a big player gone, and you would think we've got to bring someone bigger and better in to replace him, to get the fans onside.

Balls to this faint jubilation about being happy one of the bad apples/heads/or other. We've just got rid of our one guarenteed try scoring weapons.


As well as that Penny's no nearing getting to the first team.....i'm perturbed.

I'm not overly enamoured with Mathers however, if anyone is going to get the best out of him, surely it's Tony Smith.

If his features are anything to go by, prehistoric.

i'll be very disapointed if this is true, and even more disapointed if the press release doesn't refer to him as poor richie mathers.

I am firmly in the didn't want Gleeson to go Camp. He is a class player and whenever he gets the ball he can create something.

If it is true that Gleeson was seen as a distraction from the PC days, then Tony Smith would be showing his real managerial qualities if he had kept him and turned around peoples perception of Martin.

This is bad business for Warrington Wolves.
