Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Mon Sep 25, 2023 4:26 pm  
So what is a "very Warrington" signing
It could be

A) Prodigal Son. A player who has played for the club previously and cast into the wilderness who is then welcomed back to the club with open arms - Russell, King, Gleason or Dwyer? This could be Chris Hill, Cooper, Mulhern, George King

B) Phone or refer a friend. A player who is mates with an existing player who has recommended them Clark & Inglis or Ratchford & Russell.

C) Salary cap free shot in the dark. See Luther Burrell, upon signing has declared that they have always had a dream to have a go at Rugby League even though they have the aerobic capacity of an asthmatic ant - Vunipola / Marler

D) Spent force.. player who used to strike fear into the opposition but when they sign for us appear to have been given a kit bag containing Kryptonite. The list is endless but I reckon we could make Payne Haas, Jarred Warea Hargreaves and Regan Campbell Gillard look like Latu.


On a similar note I have never seen a period in my time watching when the club has such a revolving door. The number of players that have come in and then left and some have even come back and some have left again. It is a miracle that we made the top 6. Poor Bobby Moore has earned his money this last couple of years.

Holmes. In then out
Minikin in then out
Cooper - Out
Mulhern - Out
Davis - Out
Charnley - Out
king - out then in
Hughes - out
Wardle - in the out
McGuire - in then out
Mikeale - in then out, then in and out again
Drinkwater - in
Dufty - in
Vaughan - in
Harrison - in
Crowther - In
Dudson - in then out
Kassiano - in
Clark - Out
Magoulias in then out
Mata'utia in then out
Widdop - Out
Jason Clark - Out
I am sure I have missed a few as well but that is a ridiculous turnover. I am sure a couple of years ago Saints didn't have any new signings in one particular off season.

I can't see who else it would be other than Thomson. Even the Aussie press are stating it was a tussle between us, Wigan and Leeds for his signature.

Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Mon Sep 25, 2023 7:24 pm  
It’s not ruddy Thompson and thank god….Thompson is a Warringtonesque signing but seems now Wigan have got money they might take on our mantle. Our money has been a strength and a huge weakness….looks like it might be the same for Wigan.

Few years ago Wigan fans were all for the salary cap and strangely now it’s holding the game back and needs scrapping, funny that.

You'll laugh when you find out. 'IF' Kasiano moves on and we get our #1 target it would the most 'Warrington' signing of all time. Not for this board though unfortunately.


Are we getting paul sculthorpe 15 years too late? Are we finally getting our boxing day signing?

Not seen it picked up anywhere but if it’s contingent on Kasiano leaving is it because we need it for someone on the quota.

A very Warrington signing for me Screams Matt Lodge. An absolute psycho who Physically should Be completely Dominant.......but isn't, and doesn't really want to come to the UK, but nobody else wants him so has no choice.............Or it's Ryan Bailey.

A typical wire signing. im getting vibes of a George King type coming back. For some reason a lot of players are unable to mature here so they get moved on. Only to return later like his brother.
