Eden would have been the perfect understudy to Hodgson.

I must of missed something at the start of the year when we won 11 games from 12 and everything was fantastic

it was a case of Hodgson who?

not "oh my god, where could we have been if we still had Brett on our books"

There really has been some garbage spouted about who did what both on here and on Facebook.

There's probably only 3 or 4 people who know the WHOLE truth behind him leaving [no, I'm not one of them!].

As a footnote, who on here would offer Doof & LOD a 1 year, let alone 2 year, extension? Quality players, don't get me wrong. Brett didn't play a full season for us in his last year [nor is he doing so at Wire].

I must've missed all those trophies we won with BH in the team. Just like I must have imagined the two Warrington won without him. Good player but hardly pivotal to either sides success or lack of it.

"Pivotal" very good.

I think most Wire fans will have Brett in their best 17. We are a bit fortunate that Ratchford and Riley can give him a week off when TS sees fit and when missing earlier on this year O'Brien filled the goal kicking boots very nicely. If Ratchford nails the no1 jersey, he must be learning all the time from him.

Many believe that he was instrumental in the 'Myler try' at Wembley. Apart from his attacking prowess I'm sure you all appreciate his positional play when fielding kicks, he continues to make the game look easy.

His new deal with us is all about squad balance and we don't see it as a gamble at all

Never mind Brett H your best signing by a country mile is Andy Gatcliffe. The way he keeps your squad under the cap puts the whole of SL to shame. No other CEO can touch him!

We are very lucky indeed to have Simon Moran. Its not just the players that he has invested in, but rather he has brought a very sound business-like approach to everything the club does. Having watched Wire from the late 60's and seen only sporadic success, it makes a pleasant change to see a professionally run club that is winning trophies ( and beating Wigan and Saints regularly !) Having said that, to imply that we are breaking the salary cap without providing the slightest justification does you no credit.

From what I understand, BH moved to Wire primarily because he wanted a 2yr deal. We took the chance, you didn't wish to. Both decisions are perfectly understandable, and lady luck could have made a mockery of both. Thats life. Move on.

don't be such a thin skinned prat. I compliment the guy and YOU , a Wolves fan, start on about breaking the cap. Why?

I know AG from the days when he worked in the Oldham area.

Your response to my post does you no credit.

It is the language used with a t055er who says I am implying something I am not. Is it normal for you to make witless allegations?

I am suggesting AG does amazing things to get that squad under the cap...kudos.

Ignoring yet more abuse, which you seem to be unable to control in any of your posts.

What are these 'amazing things' he does to get under the cap ? Since you know him, presumably you have some idea about his expertise and what he can do ?

Don't worry mate, what he probably means is that we manage to get people to come to our matches, whilst actually paying full price for admission, which then means we can legitimately pay up to the maximum cap, unlike at Huddersfield, where they literally have to bribe folk to turn up, leaving old Ken to subsidise them massively with the money he made from the flatcap factory he created....

Oh dear. lil WO likes to insult by telling posters what they are implying yet bleats and bellyaches when it is reciprocated.

Don't know what AG does. I am simply praising him for getting such a large high value squad in under the cap. Don't you like having your CEO praised...how strange
