Thats correct!

Should Leigh crash out of the play offs then hes available so Wire would benefit as if they were short they could chuck him in!!

Think Its the first time I've posted on the Warrington board and noticed one thing after reading this thread:

'Saddened' - Bitter much?

Anyway seems Chris Hill has been with us forever and has always given his all. Mustve been a hard decision for him to leave us, but obviously the right one in going to the best team on the country at the moment. I cant honestly say I've ever cared much for Warrington, but seems our clubs are building a very friendly.....erm friendship, no doubt you will see a few Leigh shirts in the crowd, probably me included, next season to see how the duals and Chris are going on. Look after him, and we'll want him back if we ever reach the Holy Grail
Good Luck for rest of season.

But if Leigh crashed out of the play-off his contract with Leigh would be finished anyway, plus as good as Hilly is, it would be one hell of a gamble for Wire to play an unproven Prop in the SL play-offs.

BTW I’m not saying your wrong on this just trying to understand it, suppose if Hilly starts full time training with Wire that would be a benefit.

Chris has signed to play for Warrington from next year, no mention anywhere of dual reg for the remainder of the season!

Anyway best of luck to him, gutted to see him leave but it was always going to happen, easily the best prop in the Championship and I have absolutley no doubt he will play for England in thehe next few years

Keep derailing threads at the rate you do though Sad one and you'll be a having a fortnights holiday love or no love.

Apologies for that, I've been bored in work. Won't. Happen. Again.

You always seem worried about our cap, and how we do it. I'd be more worried about Saints, and where it's going.

If you're spending full cap, someone is on a good screw that they don't deserve, I'd start with Meli, Wellens, Gardener and work from there.

I agree it would be a gamble and most likely wouldnt happen.
If what your saying is Leigh drop out his contract as finished wouldnt be right as he would be contracted to a certain date and his wire one would start at a certain date!

Like I said on your board doesnt matter anyway as hes going to see season out with leigh which ever way it was done thats part of the deal with Leigh! Only way I would be proved right would be if Chris appeared in play offs for wire, by which time this board would be in melt down with other fans questioning the salary cap!

Whats that ? I presume its something the RFL have brought in for next year.

I think its some sort of edible hat.

very good!

When we signed Richard Varkulis I thought we were getting the British Vainikolo from the way he was talked about on the internet.

Most players that come up from the National Leagues get a fair bit of hype.

I remember when we signed Warren Stevens back from Whitehaven we were assured by the Haven fans that we had signed the best prop in the NFP and reunited with Cullen he would go on to be a great SL player.

I think Matt Sturm had the same tag when we signed him (best prop in the NFP).

Then I remember the excitement when we were linked with Neil Turley and Phil Cantillon, both players who we were told would set SL on fire and we were laughed at by fans of Leigh and Widnes when we didn't sign them. Both made it into SL but they were not the players they were hyped up to be.

Now I am not saying all lower league players are doomed to failure in SL, there have been a handful of examples of players who have come up and become good performers in SL (Higham, Rooney, Kirke) or even top players (Wilkin, Brough, Gardner), but I wouldn't burden Chris Hill with much expectation, I'd see him as a squad player and if he can make a good contribution at some point then great.

Add Purdham to that too Sal

I honestly can't remember any hype about us signing Richard Varkulis, in fact I thought he came from Leigh Miners, not even the NFP etc.

The only hype I can remember came from the way that he was scoring tries for fun in the reserves etc and really pushing his case and that created a lot of chat about whether he should the full team etc, he got limited chances and then bombed out.
