| Duffy looks a prospect from what I've seen. Be good to have another body in the front row. Finnegan will add experience.

I make the decision halfway through next season.Even though bottom he has improved the team dramatically.The first two months I was thinking we never get any wins.But 6 and could have had more, as unlucky against Saints and Catalans at home.Think need to sign a few more to strengthen the squad.

| Cant see this Duffy lad being as good as we've got if Wire are letting him go. Hope he proves me wrong.

I think you are doing him a disservice!
The rules are changing with regards to academy teams at SL level which means that a lot of players of 19/20 won't have anywhere to play (especially props who tend to peak a bit later than backs).
From the little I have seen of him he is a big, hard lad who can give it and take it and over the next 2 years I would expect him to become a top player.

Maybe, but it's how many you take Derek - and this one isn't a D/C, hes' a Leigh player.

As with any signing. Paul made the point at the Forum, that we were short on big props, so we had to get some from somewhere, and warrington aren't a bad club - look at some of the D/C's we've had from them, for instance.

| I know he's not dc Alan. My point is with U20's scrapped and U23's age group changing down. The better youngsters will still be kept by the sl clubs and loaned out for game time. And the rfl will expect the champ clubs to accommodate this.

| Ryan Duffy is a big lad and has played the last 7 or 8 games for Barrow in C1. He was brought in on DR due to an injury crisis and on his showings so far is average, in fact hes no better than we already had at the club. Thats not to say he wont improve over the next couple of years but dont expect miracles from him.

I'm sure you haven't - I was just pointing out that it's not the first time we've been told that 'player A' is 'average' or 'not much kop', or 'rubbish! you're welcome to him!', or whatever - only to find a different player to the one described!!
It cuts both ways - we've had players move on, and consoled ourselves with the usual 'he's not worth keeping - we've got bettter here now, etc'....only to see them flourish under a different coach.
Anyway - you'll get the chance, next season, to see first hand if he's the player you thought he was!!
Welcome back!!
