Good to see he isn't demanding the number 9 shirt

Average player. Strange signing by Leeds given he can't even make our squad and we're 9th.

Good business by Warrington though. Morgan Smith will be a much better player.

Always like this kid. Looks explosive out of dummy half. Good signing

great signing that finally gives us cover at 9 and allows us to spell Parcell more as imo he is having to make too many tackles

Yes that was my point.
We don`t have to wait another 5 years for someone to develop in to that role.
Whilst we have some decent back up waiting in the wings it will be a few years possibly before they can cover effectively.
Anyway I thought Morgan Smith wasa scrum half who has been playing at hooker.
Might be wrong.

Can you think of a better signing Leeds could have made of the players that were available?

I thought they might have gone with Lilley as the back up hooker next season, so I'm happy with this signing, although he isn't the greatest defender, he definitely seems too small to defend in the middle. Long term, I wonder what this means for Harvey Whitely?

His Dad and that man in the pub must be on holiday

Dec Patton cant get in your team when Gidley and Brown are fit, is he crap too?

You ain't fooling anyone pal, Brad Dwyer will be Warringtons Jimmy Lowes and you're gutted

Not too much i wouldnt think, only a 2 year deal, and it gives Whiteley time to prove himself in open age rugby on dual reg etc hopefully

Good signing, happy with that.

Another "scooter hooker" with limited/poor passing skills. Why are we, as a game not producing better? Oh for a Cameron Smith (Melbourne version) type hooker.

Yeah, because Cameron Smith just bends down and passes the ball off the floor every tackle. You need to adapt to the modern game, it's not 5m anymore. Understand engaging markers, creating space around the play the ball, narrowing their defence etc

Why don't you go out and coach and produce them then?

Happy with this....This time last year our hooker position was a mess,going into 2018 it should be a strength. We wont see as many individual moments of magic from dwyer coming off the bench as we have with rob but imo the team shape will be better for it

Lilley is a half back not a hooker, I'm glad we've signed a specialist back up.

Will Whitely still be able to play U19's next year? It doesn't mean anything for him in the long term, he's not ready to be our 2nd hooker yet.

Yeah im sure whitely has another year eligible for the 19s after this one

good signing for me. could be explosive in short periods

He can though.

Never said Dwyer was crap. I said he's average, which he is. Limited player, ok in defence, awful decision maker. Lets see what you think of him this time next year.

We'll see. Neither Lunt nor Aiton was too special but the organisation they brought helped land us 2 GFs. As a back up, Dwyer will be fine is my guess.

I think there is a difference between what we are expecting and what Wire fans think we are expecting with Dwyer.

I dont think anyone thinks we have signed Cam Smith or another Segayaro, Dwyer is limited in certain aspects and i dont think i would be as encouraged if we were going in to the season with only Dwyer at hooker.

However as a foil and cover for Parcell he is realistically better than we could have expected.

I fully agree.

All that changes though if he is coming in as no.1 hooker with Parcell returning to OZ at the end of this season, but we will have to see.

Where does the idea that Parcell will leave come from? I've read it a few times on here but it seems to be based solely on the fact that Parcell is quite good rather than any evidence he intends to leave.

Fantastic player playing well you just know the NRL will come in for him.

I'm absolutely adamant he won't be here next year. Add a nice Cliché "I'd love to be wrong" statement obviously.
