If he only made 3 games in a season that was so poor...how can he be held responsible if he seldom played?

We were linked with him last year, big unit but i'd rather wait for someone else with a bit more quality

Your little act is slipping isn't it. Last season you said your pack was so fantastic that it simply couldn't lose a match if everyone was fit. You said it was ALL about the halfbacks.

Now or never for Warrington. If you don't win it this season Widdop will be over the hill, Austin likely back on the beaches and the likes of Hill and Cooper fit for the scrap yard.

Matty Smith was offered a contract for this season according to WG, obviously decided Widnes is a bigger club

anyway glad that didn’t happen.

I think we offered him a contract to be one of the coaches of and players for the reserves, not sure there was ever a first team contract on the table.

I hope that was the case anyway, I agree, I'm happy he didnt sign a deal for our first team squad.

I’m not surprised you get confused as to where to post, there are nearly as many posts on Redvee about the Wire as there are on here. Luckily we are able to benefit from your insightful posting as a result.

Now or never was 2013. We are 7 years into never.

I cannot answer for your eyesight and/or loss of memory.

My point has always been crystal.
The starting pack and bench pack is good enough to walk this league and crush everyone....like the highly acclaimed dominant successful smashing of a Saints team at Wembley....(with knobs on.) ...maintaining that strength with depth is something different.

The doninant pack wins games...backs decide by how much. A big good un, always beats a small good un.

That is my bible....Amen

Regards further signings...

Wire may take advantage when NRL clubs look to release players around March to comply with the NRL strict cap after realising they have gone over.
Wire may to bolster the middles if one becomes available and we require one...
Wire are fully aware we are a little lighter than they would have liked, but also happy with the pack we have.
NRL clubs are often willing to fund part of the released players wage.

Wire are pretty capped up as 6 players are on 200k or more. Clark is on a marquee eligible salary although not through the marquee ruling...but there is a little cap space left if opportunity from the NRL arises.

There may be a few opportunities arising from Saracens, they wouldn’t impact the cap!

I'd be delighted to be proved wrong, but if their transition & impact takes as long as Burrell's then I'd give them a miss.

I wasn’t expecting too much, he arrived mid season, having played a full season of RU already. The conditioning for the 2 games is very different. Let’s see how he goes this season.

Fair comment, let's hope for decent season from him

leilani latu ? anyone know anything about him

Yeah he hardly plays and in the past 2 years playing in a team that finished last in 2018 and 14th last year has managed to force his way in to the team about 10-15 times. He's a big dude but i've only seen him play once so i can't really comment on him. He doesn't look amazing but many under the radar players have come over here and done well.....and vice versa.
He seems to be a player that has the ability and potential to be a regular player but can't quite get there for whatever reason?

Did he come through our academy?

Just seen the squad pic, Burrell does look gaunt, Austin not quite so gaunt.

Interesting to see chris hill, 2nd row far right.

Not usually the place your captain is during these photos

Edged out by a new recruit? Probably he will have more chance with refs than Chris, who struggles to get past red faced rage when addressing them.

Who's the Guy far right in the front row, i don't think i've ever seen him before?

Ellis Robson?

Aahhhh possibly, heard good things about him but i've never seen him play

Think he got a run out last season,then again I could be wrong.
