If Ratch is really our 6 next year *shudder*. It'll be him to 6, Thewlis to FB, Wrench on the wing.

I can see this happening

Dufty rumour not gone away yet.

Suspect he will be in our back line next year.

So is Dufty any good or just another overpriced budding disappointment ?

Only time will tell.

I have previously posted that I don`t think that we need him, but if he can have the same effect on us, that Jai Field has made on Wigan, it would be nice to be proved wrong.

If he appears at the HJS, then my expectations will now need a cold shower.

He could be Jizzy Rascal....

Speculation on the casuals facebook page that Walker will be the next out.

Somebody posted a thing on twitter (which I'm not repeating cos I'm not adding fuel to a non existent fire) yesterday saying along these lines, buy it was pretty crap and the sort of thing you can see being span into something ppl take seriously

Is this speculation, or rumour? Just asking for a friend.

I hope there is no truth in that. I will lose a bit of faith in "the project" if it turns out to be true.

I'm speculating that it's true that it's a rumour

Weird this one. Signed a new deal in January presumably after Powell had been coaching him for 2 months in preseason. I think Walker looks a great prospect too as a starting 9 with quick delivery, good broken field running and a kicking game. Hope this isn't the case.

I doubt Walker will be going anywhere. Powell seems to like him, and Walker doesn't seem to be the type to throw his toys out of the pram if he's not on the team sheet every week.

I do hope Powell starts to develop him soon though. He's a great on-field leader, with a great kicking game, and has a good future if he can iron out a few flaws. He seems like a typical Powell project who could end up as MOS.

I don't see walker as a starting 9 for a top side yet. He has improved a lot since we signed him but he still has limitations. I wouldn't be anywhere neas as dissapoined with walker leaving that I was with cooper going in the manner he did.

Yeah I dont use Twitter but the Warrington Casuals Facebook account has been fairly accurate in the past. We will see.

He is another Powell has fallen out with - hence he hasn’t figured recently.
As such his time left with us will be limited I fear.

There’s a common denominator here. Some of these players have played for Wire for years and no other coach has had a problem with them, now they are bad eggs.

If he is resisting change, he's out.

Let’s hope he’s in the 17 tomorrow and all this calms down. I like him, but not sure what’s going on hence I started this award winning thread.

It could simply be tactical.

In order to give Dean some game time against Catalan at the MW, and in the absence of Cooper, he utilised Jason Clark as interchange dummy half. The inclusion of Dean was fortunate due to Widdop's injury and J Clark had a good game. He repeated this against Castleford but, on this occasion, giving game time to Wrench (another fortuitous move given that Dean was forced off with a head knock). The less said about the end result the better but I very much doubt that Walker's inclusion would have done much to alter that.

He has had Covid which has kept him out for last 2 games.

Sounds like Darryl Powell is the type of man we need running some of our unionised industries.

To kick the money obsessed Tory bosses out, right?

Let's hope it's not the Cooper variant..
