Posters have been saying that we are in for Cronk or Widdop, personally I don't think either will be at the HJ in 2015.

I really don't see Widdop coming and Cronk has only recently got his jersey in the national team, I can't see him being willing to give it up just yet.
But out of the 2 Cronk looks the least unlikely.

I haven't heard ewt about a hb other than the club reassessing a GOB to Bradford u'turn but about fuifui moimoi I've heard something. It was that he was heading for a deal with Wakefield but we have come in for talks about 2/3 weeks ago too. Salford enq a few weeks back but ruled out after the marquee bid rejection.

Maybe the halfback signing will be a championship player - Ryan Brierley of Leigh or Gareth Moore from Featherstone. Brierley scores stacks of tries.

Re: Signing a halfback : Sun Aug 31, 2014 6:22 pm  

Brierly would be a great buy but I'm sure he committed to Leigh?

I'm sure he did.

I'm sure if you interview him he will say "I am a Leigh Centurions player and I want to come in to Super League with Leigh Centurions"

I'm sure if you interview Paul Rowley his coach he will say "We are not a selling club and we have no intention of selling our assets as we aim to reach Super League."

The thing is money tends to talk to the chairmen of these clubs and when you flash a bit of it about it's a short jump to him doing an interview saying "The chance to come to Warrington Wolves was too good to turn down and I came here to compete for and win trophies".

Salford were after him, the club he supports. He turned them down to stay at Leigh.

Update from moley....
Warrington are leading the race to sign Parramatta cult hero Fuifui Moimoi. The cashed-up Wolves have already recruited Ashton Sims for next season and reckon the addition of Eels wrecking-ball Moimoi could give their pack the firepower they have lacked this season. Wolves coach Tony Smith is also thought to be scouring the NRL for a halfback.

Ive got to say if we signed Fooey then that would add two more to the attendances next season. My twin 5 year old boys think he is the dogs doodies....they would demand to be brought along....

I don't watch the NRL, but I am aware of his reputation. However looking at Wiki I see he will be 35 in September and according to the Telegraph was dropped for his teams last home game. Are we sure he will not be spent by the time we get around to next season ?
