The Wardle deal was wrapped up months ago. They already had Halsall signed up long before we signed up King.

I think the fall out between Wire and Hudds a few months ago with both coaches having a public pop at each other’s clubs ensured Wardle would not be joining Hudds.

Ok, I'll accept that.

Just for arguements sake, would you rather have :

Wardle and King/Halsall back up or
Wardle and Thornley/Halsall back up?

2022 we got some long overdue props.
2023 we got some long overdue centres.

We do look strong, Wardle and King bot solid centres that make us stronger, I'd have rather kept the young lads and lost some of the first team. I'd have lost Thornley for Halsall, Isa for McDonnell and Partington for Nicolson all day long and we'd have still signed King and Wardle.

Again though, we can’t simply get rid of players under contract.

Giants wanted Halsall not Thornley who is under contract for next year.

Isa is under contract for next year.

Nicholson wanted to go and even if we did replace Isa for him (under contract) he still isn’t in the 17 which Wire have pretty much promised him he will be and bumped his cash up.

And yet you still moan
