I don't think certain Wire fans were happy about being called houses though. Glad Kingy has shown enough in the last couple of seasons to prove the majority of Warrington supporters wrong, and pick up a few medals on the way. If he is to leave this season hopefully it will be with a Super League title to add to his collection. Trent Waterhouse should be another excellent overseas signing.

There's an article in the Express today, saying he's signed a three year deal for next year (Waterhouse that is), and is about to be unveiled.

Not on their online site, but is in the paper today.

Says the same in the sun, must be true!

Never signing him, The Saints fans said he's going there. You know, a bit like how we were nailed on for Puletua.

It's in the Mirror too - under an article about Hock playing v the Giants !!

I've heard Leeds have put an excellent offer in for him. They have apparently admitted this week being in the market for two NRL forwards with Waterhouse and Brent Kite rumoured to be their prime targets.

Might be why Waterhouse keeps saying he's not actually signed anything yet? Playing a bit of 'come get me' with Wire & Leeds?

Who would want to play for Leeds when you could play for the wire though?

Someone who fancies an extra £10,000 or an extra year on their deal? Leeds are a bigger club than Warrington, with a bigger history etc. I doubt NRL players coming over particularly look at the ladder, they aren't as obsessed with trophies and success as we are over here. Otherwise, why would the like of Luke Patten sign for Salford or why would anyone join Bradford Bulls?

I'm not suggesting he is joining Leeds, but he/his agent might be using it to wring the best possible deal out of Warrington?

[url=http://m.mirror.co.uk/article?a=m4:23199832Yep, it is.[/url

I wouldn't say Leeds have a higher profile than Warrington in Australia. After all the Australians take more note of the Challenge Cup then the Super League and both Langer and Johns have played for us.

Much as it pains me to say it, Wigan have far and away the biggest reputation worldwide.

And with regard to money, they are working to the same salary cap as we are.

Crap, he's better than Laffrinchi.

Obviously not what we needed though as we signed Laffranchi months before Waterhouse had made his decision. We certainly don't need another backrower and I think we've got Laffranchi playing prop or TP playing prop and Laffranchi at 13.

Well the club have officially announced it as speculation following my call www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/a ... Page1.html So based on what happened last time regarding Joel Monaghan his signing should be announced tomorrow!

Maybe the Guardian may get there first (for once)

It may well be the case that the club are waiting to announce the departures of players before naming the new. I remember The Lord Tony Smith was not too happy last year when Hodgson was announced early on in the season.

?

No just about every media outlet on the planet is reporting that we have signed him - but the Wolves are saying it is purely speculation.
That is what they said when I queried reports of the club signing Monaghan and after reporting it as speculation, they released it as fact within 24 hours.

You got any Aussie contacts Skents?

Just threw TW into google and few hits came up, one via twitter has Waterhouse clearly stating to oz press that he is only moving due to Cap issues and really wants to end his career at the Panthers.
If this is the case do we really want a player who is clearly coming for the money and not the fact he wants to play for the wire????

The article says nowhere that he has had a desire to play in England and throughout he states returning to Oz and hopefully Panthers. Yeah I understand that most overseas players usually want to end their palying careers where they started but at least give show a little bit of respect to our game!!

Basically he can't stay at Penrith due to salary cap issues, and he could never see himself lining up against them, therefore, the solution is to come to SL.
