"The English premiership"? I'm sure he would do some damage in that.

Pritchard's Mrs has said on Twitter that he wont be leaving

So we've got our half-backs and our back-rower. We're lead to believe there'll be an outside back and one other. What position do we need to strengthen now?

I think we need a winger and a centre. If Thompson is going then I'd take a prop instead.

33 by the time he's playing for us, just like Pryce

all those England knights eh

The reaction would've been interesting had we signed a player similar to Minichello. Good player though.

I dont believe this,are we losing our way? The link says it all,best days behind him,injury prone,minichello 33 at the start of the season and never been better than steady,does radford think you have to be over 30 and injury prone to sign for us.

Please name the injury prone thirtysomethings we have signed in the last year.

Carvell, there's number 1

You are making yourself look silly, we have a very young squad and need experience players like Pryce, Ellis and MM to give balance.

Last year we had about 10 players play for England at various levels, players coming through each year from our youth and have signed the best young scrum half in SL for next season.

But you carry on being negative and having dogs whenever you can.

Our recruitment so far for next season has been the best in years and along with our academy which is in the best state ever, they are plenty of things to be positive about.

But he wasn't injury prone when we signed him, his injury record at Warrington was outstanding.

Calm down dear

I dont know why people get so hung up about it all, the age thing annoys me, peolple bleat on how 32 is a great age. But dont mention the fact that next year when he pulls on a shirt he'll be 33, and play for us for 2 years.

We dont have a long list of 35 year old who played in SL for us.

I havent made comment on the player himself have I?

I'll wait and see how he goes for us before i judge if hes a good signing or not.

what flavour jam are you having tomorrow Dave?

Carvell wasn't injury prone when at Wire. In fact he had a pretty stellar injury record there. Makes you wonder...

Indeed it does, hope the same doesn't happen with Pryce next season, assuming the in the know crowd are still happy for us to post when we can't get to games, at least we'll be able to comment...

You could try addressing the point rather than having a mild dig. He's not wrong - you can check it for yourself. Many on here (myself included) expected Carvell to spend most of his time at Wire in the treatment room based on his previous record with us but we couldn't have been more wrong.
