Quote: Newton-Le-willows-Warrior "I would say you are weaker. Ratchford can't compare to King, you will miss King towering down one side. Plus the problem lies with Warrington's squad age. Briers, Morley, Carvell, Monaghan, Solomona, Hodgson are all within a season or two of retirement. An ageing squad is never a good sign, last year you ran out of steam I would be worried about the same happening this year. However I do still think you will still be there or there abouts because you have a very good side.'"
we also have alot of youth starting to come through they are all replacable except the biggest losses will be briers and moz.
now we have a few good young halfbacks in myler, ratchford, o'brien but whether any of them will have the cheeky edge and the rugby brain briers has is yet to be seen.
Moz is harder they dont make forwards in the same aggressive mould anymore but again we have plenty of young props coming through.
Kingy will be a massive loss however we can be comforted with the fact that we have joel monaghan on one wing (some of his finishing is out of this world) and good in the air. on the other wing we have a few we have riley he got a bit disillusioned last year but came back with a bang at the end and was highest scorer 2010 season, we also have Rhys Evans he is a very promising youngster quick with good feet prepare to see alot of him this season my tip for a star of the future and we also have rhys williams so we have cover in those spots.
the only position i see us as being understrength is hooker we have monaghan who is an outstanding hooker but his replacement is one trick mick (higham) and nothing else we get an injury at hooker its not going to be pretty!
