Warrington are already well down the track with their recruitment and retention for next year. The club has announced the signing of Luke Yates from Huddersfield Giants while Matty Russell and Gil Dudson are set to depart for Wakefield Trinity and Oldham respectively.

To add to that, he's played more games per season for Hull than TJ did for us in his last three seasons.....but Catalan bought him anyway and he gave them a very good return.
The 'injury prone' thing is a myth. There are lots of players who have big injuries and make a full recovery.

Jonny Lomax being the prime example. Blighted with serious knee injuries in his earlier career and written off by most, but since he got over them he's been one of the best and most consistent halves recently.

Anyway Al always likes a good moan, always banging on about pace but never citing who he would actually like us to bring in. Not even a wish list of unlikely targets, let alone who is available.

Lomax is a great example....of a determined player and a club supporting their player too.

You can add his partner in crime Makinson to that. The list is endless. There are players who never got free of injuries but even they are not ‘injury prone’. Nigel Wright was a perfect example, but that was not down to any failing of his own, he was unlucky and got some poor medical advise, his words not mine.

Injuries more than any other aspect of sport are heavily influenced by chance, and are generally out of the athlete’s control, with the odd exception.

Could go either way for Trueman, but no more than any other of the signings we’ve made.
