Not convinced about Sharp as a centre - he's too inclined to go walkabout as well

Martin Offiah - so expect some "bigging up" on his Sky programme such as seen when Myler was wanting a move!

Hope Penny goes well for you guys and adds something with his pace

Some much needed and rare good news. Will be good to see what he can do. I've always thought him a player of massive potential.

Good signing. Whatever his shortcomings, and I'm not convinced they're too bad, he represents a big improvement. Have to ask why it took Monday's debacle to prompt this.

Give Sharp a go at centre, put Melling on the other wing, Clubb in the pack/bench/rest area, Randall and Orr in their right positions, and we might see some improvement, I got the impression last season that Gale was much less likely to go into headless chicken mode with Orr in the halves with him.

And surely it's time to give Kaye a chance, especially as Saints are currently playing with 3 hookers.

or We need now is a certain Karl T back and fully fit

The club's silence on the fitness of KT, Howell and Ellis is at its usual deafening level. Howell was supposed to be having a scan on his injury a week ago. Wonder if he's been sat, forgotten, in an NHS waiting room somewhere?

Quote ="alanw"While this is good news and we have got a player with speed to burn on the wing at last, and im sure we will all make him welcome and hope he bags a try or two against St's. But what your all for getting is he be playing out side Clubb and if this is th case i feel sorry for the lad as hes going to have a lot of pitch to cover when TC goes walk about again. Would it work if Howells not back, that Sharp could move into centre and have Penny on that wing with him and move Melling to O'C's wing to play along Clubb. Dont think Clubb would get away with going walk about so much with Melling there having a go at him, where as O'C is young and maybe not sure if should have a go at him. Myself i think a Sharp/Penny combination could work. Sharp likes to go in a tackle not scared to try a side step,can be hard to put down at times but he also likes to try and off load,well with Penny there on wing if he can mange a off load to him and with his pace might get him in or near try line anyway.. Just a question thats all Bit worrying either Club confirmed this yet, but just an link from an acticle in a local warrington paper. www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/wol ... equins_RL/ Just found this.does make you laugh it is from local paper down here and Mac's in there with a quote about it..

Temata and Howell are going to be fit this week by all accounts

Ellis is a month away according to one of the players I spoke to. I have a feeling he will be one of the bright spots of this season. Does anyone know if he can play SH? Please god!!

Good News!!!

Good news if correct

And Mr Dorn

Good - I'll be able to ask him if he bounced it when he scored the first try against us in the last game last season.

Remarkably quick not sure on his handing though, he can have a habit not to take the ball with him and not particularly good in defence. Did perform well last season at Widnes but doesn't seem able to break into first team at Warrington. Saw him play u20 against Saints a few weeks ago a he crossed the Saints line three or four times unfortunately for Wire the ball didn't. Good luck to the lad, hope it works out.

not the answer to your problems....im sure you have capable wingers at the club and there are other key positions where you need some manpower.....strange one for me

We have one. Look at Welham's tries on "Superleague Supertries".

Strange one for me to. His strength is his speed certainly not his defence (in response to your Welham suggestion). For me I would have liked to have seen a handling centre brought in. The Saints wingers are not that fast but score plenty of tries. We have an inability to get the ball to the wingers at the vital time and therefore it makes you wonder what he will bring to our game- Long range tries are his best bet I suspect.(At times in desperation we have passed the ball to the wingers in our own 20.)

Same here.but lets be honest your not going to find any of them around a club waiting to go on loan, so maybe this next best thing to have a winger with a bit of speed.

Trouble is his defence and it didnt help that last night on Boots n All, a certain Mr Cullen pointed this out,you kind of got the impression that he was trying to be polite and not say hes crap at that side of his game,but at the same time let everyone know hes not very good at it either.



Other thing and this is a bit tounge in cheek ok. We all know as pointed out here hundreds of times that we have a crap kicking game so maybe the team talk will be " right lads go out there i want you to kick on the 4th or 5th tackle, yes i know you cant kick but dont worry aim it for the wing and im sure Mr Penny here can chase it down as hes fast and catch the ball and run it in under the sticks so make that side of kicking easy for you too, ok then go out there and enjoy yourselfs, oh ye before you go dont forget we drop the ball only in the 20 metre line when on attack".

As for Karl T and Howell, im sure on Rammo last night he said they might be back this Sat,but were having late fittest tests before decided on final 19. And Eliis 4 to 6 weeks away (think Penny also said about 6 weeks in his phone chat with Rammo as he sharing a flat with him while down here).

And the ways are going what harm would it do to give Kaye a run out from the Bench and come to think of what about the forgotten man of the props Ben Jones.

I think I recall Karl trained before the KR game, but pulled up still tight - and I think Dave also nearly played, so I'm hoping both will be alright for Saints.

thats rich our defence all over the park was shocking when Cullen was in charge.

Its a rafa fact that having a poor Matt king as his centre put the final nail in Pennys coffin. Before that he was in the Superleague dream team.
King was in truth Shocking, He new it, the fans new and as he said on Sky Eddie and Stevo new it, unfortunatley for Penny James Lowes didnt, he thought it was Penny and took him off during the saints game when he did nothing wrong and he was pretty much never seen again......

Unfortunately on the Wire board one or two retards think if a winger scores a try the opposing winger is to blame and no one else...? and it came to a point whenever a try was scored on Pennys Side of the pitch it had something to do with Pennys 'bad tackling'/ 'bad positioning' according to these well informed individuals...!

he knocked on once like Amos Roberts did for Wigan last month and dropped the ball doing a ridiculouly quick tap (enthusiasm) other than that his handling is as good as any other winger in the league

My advice is simply enjoy a great winger, and a bloke that will give you tries that are worth the entrance money alone. If you want to examine every move he makes in a negative fashion you'd possibly be better off spotting trains or something.

Welcome Kevin

Yes, welcome Kevin, he sounds nice and keen. I wonder how long before Mac turns him into a second rower.........................

Saturday ?

He will do a good job for you. More established wingers keeping him out of the wires team at the minute,that's the only reason he isn't getting onto the pitch at the HJ.
