I too think Warrington will do well next year with the players they have signed although I say that every time they make these signings.
They already have a decent squad despite where they finished like us the year before.
And they have added to that squad more than most of the SL teams for next season.
Roberts should be a good signing and imo better than Sandow.
BMM is the sort of player we should be looking at but not at £175k
Price the coach is an unknown here but has got to be a better option than Tony Smith who stayed a year too long again a bit like McDermott I thought but what do I know.
Warrington wont be too far off top 4 even in transition along with Saints Wigan maybe, Hull and us.
The jury`s out for me with Cas.

A fit Todd Carney would be a great signing for anyone. We won't sign him though

Would rather see our younger players get a chance particularly in the outside backs.

Roberts is far superior and he is described as average.

Carney was a fantastic player, could have been one of the best, but for various much published troubles he has failed to live up to potential. but on his day at his best he was a superior player to most players around now and up there with the best halves over last 20 years. what a waste. Roberts is not in that class but is a good player, but he may prove to be a very good value signing.

Roberts at his very best wouldn't touch TC at his best not even close.

Yep. Sadly SL fans have never seen Carney near his best and sadly unlikely to ever do so.

But the description was a fit TC, not a five years ago TC. On that basis, Roberts is far superior.

Todd Carney was let go by Salford and now plays for Northern Pride in the second division.

Not sure why people are comparing him to Roberts, he isn't in the same class anymore.

Carney was a great player about five years ago, not now.

He was still a quality player when he initially signed for Catalan but was ok to average in SL is the point been made Roberts isn't as good yet getting lauded by some esp you.
