No they won't say it like that, what they will say is
"Good player but not at that price"
"I would rather have [insert name of young player in their Academy]"
"What sort of message does it send out to Warrington's young players, if they are not going to get their chance?"
"How do Warrington stay under the salary cap with all the player they are signing, it shouldn't be allowed"
"I was speaking to Clark's [mate/Dad/barber] and he said Clark wanted to come to us but Warrington offered him twice the salary. Let them have him IMO"

| Great signing but I just raise a word of caution.
He's a different type of player to Monas - as Rogues has said.
I just hope people don't expect too much from him too soon.
Leeds by and large snuffed him out of the CC final.
He's a runner (in the Micky mode only - probably - more elusive), but we need to see his distribution skills and whether he can read a game like Monas.
If he can develop those parts of his game in the first couple of years here then he'll really storm it in the 2nd half of his contract.

| If he does turn out like James Roby (he's a carbon copy!) then you will have a fine hooker for the foreseeable. Not to dampen anything for you lot but if this kid gets better then the NRL will start looking at him.
I just can't wait to see Clarke and Roby playing for England and the club battle should be great in our games.

Me also.
Possibly Wires best ever front row?
The names Boyd, Ashcroft and Wanbon come to mind.

No doubt. But he's a straight replacement for Monas and they each currently wear 14.

Boyd, Ashcroft and Wanbon never played together.
Maybe.... Chisnall, Ashcroft, Brady,
or, Chisnall Ashcroft, Wanbon,
or, Boyd, Tamati, Jackson.

Rogues, he's only 21, plenty of time to improve on his distribution.

His distribution is typically good, where he can't compete with Monas is on vision to spot a killer pass.

Rogues is a Wigan fan, absolute dyed in the wool.

?
It's critical analysis, not as you say finding "a negative".
Don't you think it's only natural to compare our current hooker with our next hooker?

could you not remember any of the other hookers that played for us in the 11 year period between Barlow and Sullivan?

| I always liked Tukere Barlow, was a little ahead of his time in his style of play. He had some issues but he was by no means as terrible as people make out.
