Sod Lewis, we should throw some money at Nene McDonald, and i like Tai but nene would be a big upgrade on him, swap deal i'd be happy with that.
Can't actually see that happening though.
The portugal trip sounds like a "it was fun boys, really sorry but lets have some fun sunny training before you leave"
Feel sorry for the players as it must be nervy time not knowing if were you stand for your career

There’s already pressure on Tai with Lindop Ratchford Johnson and Wrench!
I’m not sure how McD can add any worthwhile competition to that position.
Can he play prop?

I understand that Warrington are putting faith in Hayes and Leyland but a little surprised that they're not linked to Marc Sneyd - would be a great foil for Williams.

We can't win can we? Buy ageing stars 'ha look at Warrington, will they ever learn?' - put faith in youth 'stupid Warrington not signing proven OAPs'

I wasn't calling Warrington stupid at all. If anything not making a move for someone like Sneyd or by replacing Drinkwater with an experienced overseas half seems further evidence of a change in policy. Historically, I don't think this would have been the case particularly given the potential for it to be a good combination with George Williams.

He wouldn't add competion he'd take that spot immediately, the guys a freak and would be a massive strike weapon for us.
But Lewis from what i saw and heard about is a bit of a Tank, like you said could be a gem of a signing. But i'm not sure if we'd actually be in for any of them, only time will tell

Thinking we might go with Dufty at half back this year as 1st choice with Cai Taylor Wray getting the no 1 jersey.

I seem to recall reading that he played 6 as a junior but he stood in at half for one game in 2023, at home against Leeds (loss), and I'm pretty sure that he was a flop.

Also, too soon for Taylor-Wray.
