Joe Wardle signed for next year apparently.

Wardle is okay, above average, but so was Rhys Evans a few years ago. Can't see what he offers unless a different coach can get the best out of him.

Hiku is very good at finishing moves on the wing. So I guess he'll be a bit of a failure here these days. I've not seen him scoot for an entire match though. Not because he can't, but because his coaches have employed other tactics to get their teams from one end of the field to the other. Could be brilliant at scooting for all I know.

If the rumours are true I'm sure we will find out !!!

He hasn't. It's not true.

Will these rumoured signings have a get out clause i wonder ?

I like Wardle, I'd be happy with that signing. I don't trust the current coaching regime with any prospective new signings though.

Signing a full back...means Ratchford to stand off ? or centre? or prop? or do we play Hiku at centre or wing or second row or hooker...or Rochdale?

Supporters in Aus seem sad to see him go.

Very different from the verdicts on this board.

I can see his first game at centre!

Where do he and ratchford fit in ? Ratch has just signed an extension And has started to claim a position for his own and yet we sign a full back after missing out on another is ratch staying on the basis he will get to play te position he wants to ?? Or have we just signed someone and he's quite good and available and we can fit him into the team somewhere amongst the ack line as most are unhappy wth someone in it at any given time !!

He's a three-quarter who can play full back, he covered full back at Manly when Stewart was injured, but spent most of his time on the wing or at centre.

I think he also played for NZ at stand off in the four nations at one time as well?

Panthers have also released Samisoni Langi, it says heading to super league but does not name a club.

I wouldn't say so. Attracts 3 men in the tackle every time, wins a collision and finds a quick PTB or an offload.

He gets a lot of grief from a lot of supporters because it's doesn't pay off here at Warrington these days. If he was part of the team in 2011 he'd be immense. As it just so happens, Cas are currently playing how Warrington played in 2011 so he'd be a world beater if he did switch mid-season.

Problem is he's not being played correctly. He'd do well at Cas.

Personally, I think at best he's a bench prop, as you say, if he was part of the 2011 team, he's be complimenting moz, carvs Woody and Harrison quite well.

If any of these rumours are true ,Sims to Cas & various players all wanting to join a team/club in dire straits,coupled with talk of an open letter, i would say the club is in a desperate situation ,especially when the club is reluctant to criticise the coach or placate the paying customers with regular statements.
