Agreed Saddened - not about the sinking ship though !

This the best post in the thread. It is legally accurate and the bottom line sums up my feelings as well.

Lets wait and see what 'crawls out of the woodwork' as it seems unlikely that Mickey would walk away, particularly one semi final away from a Wembley appearance with all the dosh and prestige that goes with it.

I hear Micky feels Warrington haven't got what it takes to get past the Semis.

IMHO I agree. Warrington need to get rid of a lot of Deadwood to regain their status as a leading team in Superleague.

Maybe Micky is part of that deadwood

Possibly

What deadwood?

I still think we might make it to a final or two this year, as I think that none of the top squads is that strong.

How many of our best 17 are we missing currently would you say?

Grix, i think we're missing him more than people realise.

He's become the glue that keeps this team together, does the bits inbetween that let the halves and 9s do what they need to and sort of fills in the inbetween or is that little extra option just in case.

Despite his injuries, i can't recall a match where i've come away saying "Grix had a bad game today" if i was a huddersfield fan i'd be expecting to say that before every game (that guy can have some real stinkers).

Grix without doubt. Going on a combination of this year's form, experience, basic talent, gut instinct and a large dose of prejudice my first choice 17 right now would be....

FB Ratchford
RW Monaghan
RC Bridge
LC King

SO Patton
SH Myler

SR Westwood

Will be sad to see Micky leave in such a way but the club needs to move on but this could have been handled a lot more diplomatically I think.

On the plus side, Dwyer looked his lively self and slotted in nicely. Be interesting to see how he fairs against Salford.

Correct VW, although it was against Championship opposition he looked decent. Mind you he's always had that lively way about him and always looked ready to back himself from day one, perhaps overly so due to a bit too much youthful exuberance.

interesting times

I like Dwyer. Strikes me as a bit of a nuisance, always picking at the markets looking for a gap. Let's hope a string of games with London has helped him along

Lets not forget that Brad Dwyer was loaned out to London, for a season long loan.

Currently he has been loaned-out to Wire for a month only, & is due to return there after that time scale. London are relying on him for this season, & all their plans will involve him playing for them, so we can`t be sure that he will play for the rest of the season for Wire

I personally can`t see why Leigh can`t wait until next season to sign Higham.

I realise that Sean Penkywicz is injured, but Bob Beswick had a great game yesterday, & is quality hooker, so they are NOT that badly off.

If Wire release Higham from his contract he will inevitably play against us in the quarter final, Leigh will have two hookers available to our one (Daryl Clark).

It would be totally unprofessional to release him under these circumstances, & give our opposition a major advantage.

If Micky doesn`t want to play for Warrington anymore, then Wire should let him stew for the rest of the season.

He can then sign for any club he wishes to, for next season.

You can't?

Without injures to Salford and Wakefield (who had fitness problems with returning players) are you 100% sure Leigh would beat them and qualify for SL next season?

What a shame to end like this.

Lets hold our horses until the squad announcement on Wednesday, and the game itself, before we start casting aspersions, eh lads.

I'll have a fiver that says Leigh will be in SL next year, rd. Charity of choice?

Seeing that picture has annoyed me more, I've got that jacket and it's not waterproof whatsoever.

For my own greediness at our club, I hope they don't get promoted as Ryan Brierley will then become a Leeds player.

You're eating too many frosties.

I don't remember that quote....?

... I lied then, because I do want Leigh to be in the SL.
Hence I point out that more is required to be sure.

If the Leigh fans think that the current squad is good enough, note the board at Leigh certainly don't share your naivity, as I don't, which is why there is an aggressive bid to take Higham.
