Don't disagree but Im not sure where this idea that James Harrison was a home grown talent that was let go has come from?

He played a couple of games on loan for us from Fetherstone after coming through at Batley Bulldogs

Anyway Ive made my point on that one.

Harrison never was home grown, that's a fallacy. He was a player that had a decent pedigree, and a good work ethic that needed some rough edges knocking off. Warrington have done that with him so well done them. The only point about Harrison is that he would be better than everyone we have except Mik, and that's a statement of where our group of props are at the moment.

We need to fix that first, then every other player on the team will look better.

Yes I believe he was desperate to stay with us but the maverick coach for only he knows didn't like tall players "Walters" another case, Harrison was a local lad with great pedigree but he saw more in Goudemand and Sangria you know the rest.

I'm told that he had the changing room door lowered to five feet 10 inches as part of his ruthless and heightest war on beanpoles. Furthermore, I'm reliably informed that he personally vetoed the signing of young Ellery and drove him to Odsal himself. In a further twist, turns out he also overruled our scouts on Jason Robinson. Didn’t like shorties either. The man was a monster.

Michael Maguire is taking the Broncos job which means BA is safe
