Mulberry’s play is obviously suffering with the ongoing issues at the wires and as such had been mediocre, but obviously when he was signed he was playing good rugby for the Robins . Can we afford him firstly as the wires seem to have a bottomless pit of monies to throw about ,and I’ll bet he was on a decent wack to drag him away from HKR .
If we can sign him all well and good, I’m sure he would settle in to our style of play ,but I’ve a sneaky feeling we have far bigger fish to fry on the prop forwards front .

Story surfacing that we are trying to get him signed up before weekend. Heard owt?

That would be our type of deal, as Warrington would be paying him until November

It's Bowden I'm referring to. We were discussing him some time ago and I dug this link up before the separate thread kicked off.

We all want to Keep Mulhern as he's solidcand consistant but apparently he's asking (well his manager) For too much money so we're letting him go

I would point out that Warrington are investing heavily on new signings from the NRL, plus they have several already on large contracts. This is why they are trying to offload players probably to keep within the salary cap. I could be that his demands are quite reasonable but not at a club with an already hefty wage bill.

My Wire mate says the rumour on Mulheron is he's off to Leeds

If he’s asking too much for Wire to agree to I highly doubt we would be in the market for him.

It’s a shame as I think he’s a quality prop and is better than Butler and Bowden….

Not too sure about I think he is overated

Agree, I think we are building Mulhearm up a bit too much. He’s a solid prop in my opinion and in an underperforming forward pack at Wire has stood out a bit. If he was that good then Wire would be willing to meet his demands I have no doubt of that.

The issue is the success of being called up to the England and England performance squads, his market value increases but this was whilst he was a top performer at KR. He’s then joined Wire as more of a rotation forward (imo) where the pressure is on and hasn’t stood out as he did in the more underdog role. Wrongly he’ll be expecting the big money deal that the likes of Wire can offer.

I don’t think we’ll see him at Trinity, although I was reading he was with our academy at one point which I didn’t know.

He did stand out at Warrington, that's why many of their fans don't want him to leave. Every time I watched them I thought he was their best prop.

Difficult to assess the Warrington players as the club is all over the place.

The difficulty for Willie, and any coach, is to decide if the player will perform in your team, regardless of how they are performing in their current team.
Plenty of top players don't perform after a move and equally plenty of average players can become the best at the new club.
Tough task.
