England seems to be a first choice prop for Fev, and will be 25 yrs old next year, so he is close to his peak for a prop. So yes, I think he will come straight into our team once he has familiarised with our systems and plays.

I did used to think Harrison to prop would be a good move, but I am unsure now. Packs seem to be getting bigger in SL, and I am not convinced he would make the yardage. The BR is going to be very interesting next year with Westwood, Waterhouse, Currie, Grix, then Laithwaite trying to get in, Harrison trying to get back and Bridge perhaps sniffing around as well.

I also dont think Harrison will be able to make the step up to prop.. A few years ago it looked as though maybe that would be the natural route for him.. However, due to injuries or whatever else, his game appears to have gone backwards. I think he could find himself with a battle on his hands next season with the names mentioned above.

Heard Danny Kirmond's name mentioned as a target recently. Good player but back row doesn't seem to be an area we're short in.

That does sound a strange one, but I suppose we are quite opportunistic if someone becomes available. I was rather hoping we might get Paea, but sounds as though he is either NRL or Hull bound.

Crabtree was on SS News after the Wigan game singing our praises. Thought it was a bit odd at the time, but maybe his agent has been approached ?

stranger things have happened... were certainly in the market for a new prop or 2.

Eorl is not a Prop I would want at Warrington.

Does anybody think we will get Clark from Cas ? It seems to have gone very quiet on that front. Monas looks a shadow of his former self. Clark, Higham with Dwyer chipping in would be good for me next year.

i think that deal may have been done sometime ago.

Has anyone seen Harrison for a while, might be in the gym bulking up for next season might come a beast ??

Are we up to the quota with overseas players ?

I think we could have one additional player, if required.

Don't tell me, you have sold your sheep farm in Wales and wan't to buy a top Aussie for the club ?

I've been told from a bloke who's friendly with Mike Rush at Saints that Graham is staying in Aus and the Bulldogs are close to getting Graham to agree a new extended deal.

We have space as Solomona left last Winter and we didn't bring anyone in. Plus someone will probably leave this Winter too giving us another space.

Saw him outside the ground on Monday. Didn't look any different. Huge noggin on the lad though.

Their fans think he is the best forward in the league, its hardly surprising that he is being offered a new deal.

I cant see Graham coming back to this country until he is over the hill.

The sheep farm is now a leisure centre for anyone who likes that lifestyle !

Wasn't Solomona off the quota anyway ?

so he's going to wigan?

He is certainly big enough for prop already, assuming the club website is accurate Warringtons props/backrowers are the following weights:

Carvell 113kg's
G Riley 112kg's
Hill 108kg's
Harrison 107 kg's
Waterhouse 106 kg's
Morley 104kg's
Cooper 103kg's
Bennion 103 kg's
Wood 102 kg's
Westwood 102 kg's

Although it would be nice to replace Carvell with someone of equal size and for Harrison to have a good run of games towards the end of the year now.... assuming he can get back into the 17!!

We are allowed 5 overseas, and we have four. Solo was a special case as I think he was over here before 2008 when they introduced the rules. (NB this is a simplification of the actual rules.)

Harrison is managing a dodgy hip until the end of the season, he might play for Swinton in the next week or so. Got to have an operation to shave some bone off his hip at the end of the season as it's been bothering him for a while.

There are some very big boots to fill who ever comes in.

Literally

Anthony England a definite from what I just heard down at Fev

Got yourselves a belter there, potential to be better than Hill (imho)
