Yep, he'll be a darn fine hooker.

And that is enough now jog on

8th choice back rower so the other 7 either take turns in playing or are some prepared to wait till there chance comes along i.e currie...

I believe so. I'd imagine it will be after our game against them this week.

From reports I've read the short spell at Leigh has appeared to have been good for Laithewaite. I feel his level of performance in the u20s had stagnated to an extent over the past 12 months such that Danny Bridge and Saltonsall had both been given 18th man duties for the first team before him. He has been playing week-in week-out u20s for a number of seasons as he pretty much by-passed the u18s age group from my recollection.

The opportunity for him to get Super League experience at Hull KR under his belt is too good to turn down for club and player. It could be the making of him as a player long term.

Either way I would be suprised if he doesn't get/hasn't already got a contract for next year with Warrington.

Not entirely sure why some of you are telling Saddened! to jog on? He's contributing to reasonable discussion, not trolling in the slightest. Some of you may be better off finding a Warrington dedicated board if you don't want other teams fans posting too.

For what it's worth, although we have shown interest in both Currie and Laithwaite I can't see Warrington allowing either of them to leave without a fight. Especially Currie, that lad is going to be special if he continues his progression at the current rate.

maybe the people telling him to jog on remember days of having to sell Sculthorpe etc to survive.....thankfully those days have long since gone....I am hoping you guys have to suffer a similar pain as we did.

Erm, okay.

It's kinda like when you call your mate's mum and he turns around and says she's dead, or she's got cancer. What a reaction.

I have to say, I honestly never envisaged that conversational path.

Despite himself, Saddened is moderately well respected on here. I think it is a 'time served' kind of thing. He is told to sod off with a tongue in cheek on most occasions I would think. Pantys can be untwisted.

But what is meant by "shown interest in"?

Are you suggesting that Saints have contacted Warrington to check on availability (which I doubt as Saints are well aware of being laughed out of court if they had about Currie) or that at a "Moneyball" type scouts meeting then they have been discussed and added to the "A" list on the whiteboard in the "War Room".

Agree with this entirely. The danger otherwise is we'll end up like the Wigan board where anyone who dares disgaree with a Pie opinion is automatically labelled a troll.

i showed an interest in taking Rihanna out for a romantic meal for 2 the other night.

2 for 1 at the Noggin?

i was thinking more like burger and a pint at wetherspoons... treat the lady a bit... make her feel special.

Nobody is seriously telling Saddened to "jog on". As previously mentioned, he is a knowledgable poster and seems pretty fair with his comments, anything posted in this thread is simply good natured banter. I think you are getting a bit touchy - its a non-issue.

Everyone knows that deep down, saddened loves the wire.

I believe an approach has been made regarding Laithwaite. Currie is still under contract so I doubt anything formal has been undertook there.

That's true, he is actually a Wire mole that we have used to infiltrate the Saints board and to spread gloom and despondency by agitating for new players to be signed from other highly successful neighbours.

Looks like he is heading to us

The youngster that is going to saints is apparently Jack Cooper.

We look forward to receipt of our compensation payment then.

As implied by PY, this seems unlikely as he has returned from Oz and must have been re-contracted with Wire as he played for the U20's last Saturday. So if he was going to Saints, surely he would have gone directly ?? Not that I have any personal knowledge of the situation.

It's been tweeted a couple of times today. Not sure how reliable the accounts are though, think wwolvestweets was one of them. Didn't he have a disagreement with the Wire that lead to his Australia trip?

We will not be able to keep all our promising youngsters but I am sure TS has one eye on our ageing pack and if we are signing Bateman one might assume that somebody will probably go but that could well be one or two 1st team fringe players as he will presumably go straight into our 1st team squad as he is already playing 1st grade at Bradfut.

Laithewaite, Currie and Cooper as potentially the cream of the crop I would have thought would stay. Although there has to be a savage filtering system in the youth set up to make room for those moving up through the grades.
