Do these emerging English players that go to Australia really develop more?

I know the likes of Morley, Ellis, Burgess have done well there, but they were already top players by the time they went.

A fair few emerging players like Thorman, Sibbit, Edmondson, Mathers, Tansey have gone over to the NRL, they have played a handful of games, and come back to SL but they didn't come back on a different level as a player in fact most of those you could say made less of an impact on SL after they came back.

Article in the Guardian...TS said because Cooper is off to Oz & another 2 or 3 forwards are out of contract that we could well be signing players if the right ones are available ,apart from promotions from within.

Yes. But only when making good players even better.

I heard we're looking at a ginger bloke who's fed up of getting sunburnt in oz.

There were a lot of credible rumours around that he was going to sign for us prior to him going to the NRL.

We shall see.

I thought he had two years on his contract ? He would suit me, we need someone with a bit of mongrel and attitude. Someone with a bit of bite in the tackle.

Think realistic, Warrington could never afford a player as good as James Graham.

Wigan will lose their full back at the end of the year but now understand the value of older players. So we should sell them Bert and use the money to buy Ron Weasley, with a bit left over for Benji Marshall.

I see what you did there.

He bit him on the tackle?!? Christ!
