new additions to the coaching staff.

Which player, new or already present are you looking forward to after a pre-season with Che?

New player - obviously Myler, Atkins and Solomona are good players but half back, for me, is the most important position so having a new one, or should that be actually having one, is an exciting prospect.

Old player - Bridge. Thought he had a solid year despite being shifted around, he done alright for England and I think he'll continue to get better under Smith.

think penny may suprise a few people if its true he has bulked up

I'm looking forward to seeing hw all of the players perform after their first full pre-season with Che Smith, and I'm interested to see how Solomona will play for us, because I've not really ever rated him that much TBH

Mike Cooper
Lee Briers
Monas

I'm looking forward to Richie. I,ll be quite interested how he handles the pressure though. Which no doubt he will have on him, just hope he can cope with it. Warrington fans are demanding just look at King massive signing and the pressure placed on him, didn't preform well copped massive stick ending up sticking the "V" up and all that saga. Anyway here's to a good a hopeful successful 2010.

Got to be Myler. He's had nothing but from everyone since the Four Nations, so I'm hoping that he starts the season on fire and rams everyone's negative comments right down their throats.

I'm hoping for big things regarding Atkins aswell. Mainly that Che has taught him to pass to his winger more often!

I don't know whether working with Smith will make much difference, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Monaghan playing a more full time role in the dummy half position, as it was painfully obvious that the hooking role is his true position.....He has the potential to not just be the best hooker in the competition, but to also become one of the most influential players in the league....Don't want to get ahead of myself, but he could easily become a Man of Steel candidate playing in the number 9 role (Well, if Roby could do it, then Monas definitely could!!).

As for the others, I'm most looking forward to seeing how ALL the youngster come on under our new regime....I'm definitely expecting big things from Mike Cooper, plus I'm expecting the likes of McCarthy and Neal to become reliable members of the 17 on a regular basis.

That won't make him any better under the high ball.

Seriously, in Myler and Briers there is the potential to produce the best halfback pairing in the league and one of the best in the SL era. The potential.

Im looking forward to the tactics Che has produced over the pre-season and the youngsters coming through looking to prove themselves.

Im also looking forward to all the squad kicking on. especially the fact that now we can put 'talent' into all of our ball playing positions;

FB - Mathers
SO - Briers
SH - Myler
HK - Monaghan (will be vital this season)
LF - V.Anderson, Grix

Also ive noticed we only have 3 wingers in the first team does this mean we might be seeing the welsh lad especially if penny is out on loan??

I'm really looking forward to seeing mike cooper develop this season.

Here we go again - you can keep on repeating the same old lie but it doesn't make it real - I challenge you to name me a time whe Penny dropped a high ball, either in attack or defence. His handling under a high ball is exemplary and probably the best of any of our backs but don't let that stop you peddling your agenda.

In answer to the OP, I'm looking forward to seeing the continued development of all the young forwards - Harrison, Cooper, McCarthy etc.

I think JB is being a tad sarcastic.

saints away in the cup when he cocked up...amounts to the same thing

Do you honestly think that Mathers is a talent. To be honest I think that he is a very average full back. I like his motivational side that he brings but he hardly inspires confidence. My opinion anyway.

Every year, I hope we are going to have two creative half backs, so you can guess where I'm looking for something special.

All 3 are superb signings in my opinion and I cant wait to see them all in the PandB

Solomona is my pick. Relatively un-noticed signing, little pressure, or expectation. Unlike the other two. He'll be a fans favourite.

As an outsider and after watching him rip us apart in the CC semi final i'd have to say Monaghan will be Warringtons most important and probably best player in 2010. He will have had a full pre season getting used to playing at 9 and will be able to fully settle into the position knowing that you have 2 out and out halfbacks now meaning he can just concentrate on his own game at hooker.

I'd back him to have a huge year.

have to agree fully, looking forward to also seeing Solomona, after years of him ripping us apart i think if he stays injury free then we could have a Gem. Also with the signings of Myler & Atkins, many people have forgot about him and so a lack of pressure on him

David Solomona, if he can regain his fitness and recover fully from his shoulder injury then we have a potential world class impact player that can change a game.

I`m presuming he`ll be used as an impact player from the bench in the early stages until he can prove his fitness, Saints and Leeds have had great impact from the bench in years gone by, Fasavalou at his peak and Ali Lauitiiti at Leeds who could both come on and change games.

Solomona is a match winner in his own right just like Ali Lauitiiti, its not often this type of player becomes available and its well worth the risk in chancing his shoulder will make a full recovery.

It's all very exciting again isn't it. Half back is the one for me. It is the be all and end all of our Briers reliance.

Cover across all positions looks excellent for me & reassuringly we won't be over-reliant on one person allowing all players opportunity to shine & be picked on form not name...
