Just listened to the OOYL podcast with Luke Gale.

Terrifying to think he was just 1 game short of triggering a 2nd and 3rd year extension on his contract

One of those it was worth a gamble

If he brought his cas form would of been a great signing

Sadly wasn't the case

We need a back rower, and Rovers go and get Tanginoa!

FWIW he's a bit of a sick note, and keen to see what happens with HDM story last week of another back and a non fed back rower

If we had signed him some on here would have been wetting their knickers

Tanginoa looked pretty impressive for Wakey the first half of the season when he first arrived, but then seemed to be in and out the team on a regular basis for one reason or another and seemed to have regular injury issues. Granted he was played as a forward a number of times which don't think suited his ability. A new club might be a kick start for him but for me he's a bit like Satae in that he has a really great game and is then anonymous for the next 3 or 4 or is injured.

Will be interesting to see if we do bring in another back rower before the end of the year.

Not convinced we'll bring anyone else in.

All the talk is 'waiting for the right person'. Similar things were said when we let Griffin and Evans go and nothing happened last season

Dywer has played for about the same amount of teams As Smith, is he a journey man.

Dywer was/is terrible, you just can't admit you were wrong about him, I'll be amazed if Smith has a worse season than Dywer.

And now the talk is that Dwyer could leave Warrington without even playing a game for them and join Salford?

Get the feeling Burgess isn’t happy with the signing of Dwyer?

Was a strong rumour before the season finished that he was no longer wanted by Warrington once Powell had gone and to be honest at the time I was surprised they wanted to re sign him as he certainly won't help in terms of replacing the loss of Clarke.
Dwyer started well for us and looked like he was going to be a decent signing at the time but sadly that didn't last long and he became a liability more often than not.
