Just read his Wikipedia entry....looks like a couple of naughty moments off-pitch - please tell me we haven't recruited a loose cannon

Yes, he has plenty of baggage and makes Josh McGuire look like a choir boy.

He is fit and only in his 20`s though.

Ex-teammate of Sam Burgess so hopefully he can direct his aggression to the playing field.

It could be a bumpy ride, but hopefully not.

I hope we give him a short course on what words he cannot use anymore.

On first glance, looks like our recruitment goes from strength to strength!

There were people saying Vaughan had a big question mark over him last year, how did that work out? I think he'll be a good signing, we should be getting his best years from him at 27.

Absolutely. We had a problem with Price as well as I recall. You would think we would have learned our lesson by now after those unfortunate incidents.

Welcome to Warrington Mr. Musgrove. I wish you well.

Whilst I won't for one minute condone what Price said, as it's unacceptable, that term is endemic in the sport when referring to deceptive strength. If you want to change that the RFL would be better off policing the entire playing operations side of things with a 'ten commandments of vernacular' or something similar. I personally prefer an empathetic step-change approach, rather than a cancel culture. Pretty sure I've occasionally slipped up from time to time, without meaning to be offensive.

He's a quality player, his on field performances massively outweigh the few off field issues he's had. He's aggressive, hits hard, defends hard and plays good minutes. Similar to Vaughan in that respect, i'm buzzing we've signed him

I'm sure some these worldly players would blush at the words used in school playgrounds all over the world. I'm also pretty sure that most of the woke brigade have not been whiter than white all their lives.

So I can imagine him and Vaughan being starting props with Philbin and Harrison coming off the bench.
I can imagine Kasiano (assuming he's still here) being on the bench too. I think that's a tough call on Bullock though. He needs game time, but appears to be behing these guys and Dudson - which many of us don't understand.
It also makes me question where that leaves the younger lads.
There will be injuries in the season but how many games will Thomas and Green - amongst others - get?
2nd row will be Currie and Nicholson, with maybe Harrison filling in if required.
Guess 13 will be Crowther (or Harrison).

I have absolutely no idea how things will turn out next year. If there is a revival then maybe everyones game will be raised. Let's hope so.

Fitzgibbon?

Philbin will be playing for a contract extension too.

He’s a Warrington type signing alright and I suspect he’ll spend more time on the pitch than McGuire but less than Gil

Oh yes!
Forgot about him.
Doh!!
