It's in here somewhere.

What sort of backrower is he ? I know he's abig unit, is he subtle with his hands etc, or a Louis style bulldozer. I've seen bits of him, moreso when he toured with Australia etc, I just wondered what he is ?

fingers crossed its lazy louis anderson

2nd on the top offloads this season with 28 (overall)
Joint 2nd for try assists (second rows)
Joint 3rd for assisting line breaks (second rows)

Think he'll fit in with us being the top offloading team in Super League.
And not a big one for us as we have made the lowest number of tackles in the league, but typically he puts in over 30 a game.

He's at a team that are 12th in the league and has done well, so if he did come over here I'm sure he'd make an impact.

Replacement for Solomona?

Waterhouse in for Louis.

Ratchford in for King.

That'll be it.

Wasn;t there fairly confident reporting of us getting Shillington as well?

Would be quite a pack pairing...

You would imagine, all things being equal, they would do better that the saints or pies 'impact' signings for this season (Ryan Hoffman excluded as he does look very good indeed).

id be slightly dissapointed if we swapped him for louis

Hes awesome

Don't think we need Ratchord.

Really? Who, realistically, would you have as a replacement then?

Waterhouse is a very, very good player.

Nah, he's signed for Saints according to their fans.

Waterhouse is a super player, but I'd prefer to keep Louis as he's younger and is getting better all the time.
We'd only get a year or 2 out of Waterhouse.

I would be disappointed if we could not fill a second row position from our own pool of players. I could understand it if Solomona and Anderson go then yeah we might have to look to Australia for one of those replacements. I would like to think that Mitchel, McArthy and Blythe may be able to fill a void on a more regular basis.

What if we do only get 2 years out of him?

We only got 3 games out of Johns.

I live for the season, not a potential next season.

As long as we always replace like for like or better and compete every season i don't care if we get 1 season or 5 seasons out of players, just put the effort in, in the here and now.

Mark, I heard they were eyeing him up as a replacemet for Puletua, but now Puletua has signed an extension they don't require any more back-rowers and don't have a free quota spot.

However long he is here for Trent Waterhouse will be the best backrower in our team if he comes, that includes Westwood, so I would have him.

Agreed it would be a backward move, definately not as good as Evans

I agree, waterhouse is pure quality and will not only be the best backrow at Warrington but the best backrow in super league.

We've signed laffranchi who's a very good player but IMO waterhouse is better.

We still need to replace Carvell.

I don't think Ratchford would be brought in to replace Evans. Can't say I've watched him every week but whenever I've seen Ratchford he has looked very good, at least as good as Bridge.

Carvell to NRL.
Louis to Catalan.
We've signed a forward of some sort. Not sure who yet though.
Saints signed Waterhouse.

I don't think we have a quota spot for waterhouse.
