Good cover if we are going to make a push in the top 8 and Wembley

Most on our board surprised at this considering he ain't played at all this year, on another note he is not allowed to play against us in any game.

Warrington fans on Twitter saying tony smith said he's 5 weeks before fit so a bit of a strange one if true. However they must have their reasons for signing him.

It's Simon Grix all over again.

Good signing if fit

Like I said in the other thread. Good player is Ben but my concern is that he hasn't played a game since September last year. Don't know if he's played in the reserves or anything.

Just don't get this one at all. He's supposedly there to sure up our forward line yest isn't allowed to play against the wire in the cup, which has realistically to be our focus this season as I think old Trafford is out of our reach. Not even sure if we can play him against them in the super 8s

Think we would of been better keeping yates walker or howarth.harrison on his day is a good player but ive read reportsche wont be fit for 5 weeks strange

No he is not allowed to play.

Crap signing not fit ,not played for a year ,no

Given his lack of match fitness and also the fact that his position is the one that is our strongest, I am disappointed with this one TBH.

Dont get me wrong he is a good player and would br a good signing if we were short of back rowers.

To me it is a waste and would have been better with a prop or half back/hooker

I am sorry but if not fit for 5 weeks then it is a pointless signing, slightly more chance to play than Grix but not much. I will let others explain if they can what we benefit from it Cox would have been understandable but not this.

The club surely wouldn't loan a player that still isn't fit for 5 weeks. If true it's one of the barmier things we've done.

We took one last season who was never going to play.

The Warrington forum members don't understand why we would sign him because the club have not indicated he is ready to return. I suppose we will receive some sort of explanation but on the face of it not the signing we were looking for to strengthen the squad.
