I think we can say Nicholson and his agent have agreed terms with Canberra, but I’m not so sure there is a deal, until Warrington has a deal, The club will be entitled to a contract fee.

Done deal, then.. surprise he has signed for the Raiders, considering Smithies only just got a contract with them. Smithies plays 13 the role Nicholson wants to play.

Ricky Stewart is big on SL talent.
Williams and Bateman were big success signings for him.

Quote ="Alffi_7"Confirmed he’ll be missing at Wembley, shame for the guy. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... cup-final/'" Feel very sorry for Philbin. He's put some excellent performances in recently and deserved his shot at the final. He can play decent minutes and I don't think our other prop replacements options can do the same.

I think he’d swap a CC for a GF anyway.

Didn’t realise we had the choice.

It ain’t Noel Edmond’s swap shop..

I doubt it, as they are good mates.

I heard that Chambers has had a word with Coops and offered a one year deal with coaching opportunities afterwards.

That’s a hard no from me.

Me too.

If true, that really makes no sense to me, when we've already got established senior props, and then the likes of Wood, Green, Thomas and Okoro also looking for more game time. Feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth for those lads.

It's tough news for Philbin. A GF win is now all he has to aim for, and should be his motivation for the rest of his season.

Keep hearing Jordan Abdull to Warrington .
Doesnt make much sense to me as he never looks fit. However stranger things have happened.

Not heard that anywhere before, he's a player that has a big "potential" skillset, but always looks over weight and never seems to live up to his possible level.

Only makes sense if Drinkwater is leaving, Abdul to fill a gap until Hayes is fit again.Then to play as next man up. Also free up quota spot if Drinkwater leaves. Abdul sure won’t be commanding Rock star wages either..

Pretty sure we were knocked back quite recently when we attempted to sign Abdul. Maybe Burgess see's him as a project

Or Burgess has shares in Star Kebab

pretty much nailed on going back to hull fc isnt he?

cos they dont want to improve.

I'd rather sign Paula Abdul. We should be aiming much higher

If Tai goes to the Dolphins as rumoured next year I'd be looking at signing the best centre we can from the NRL (if any are actually available). I think its the weakest area in our team by some distance, leaving aside the (ongoing) potential of Wrench and rightful excitement over Lindop.

Abdull signing for Hull apparently along with about 10 others next season!

Yeah i thought he was off to Hull.
I'd like to keep Tai, i think we have an option to keep him in his contract, and if he's happy here you never know.
i think Drinkwater has been decent and had some really good touches since he's come back. Might offer him a 1 year maybe?

Two steps forward two steps back

Don't forget though...."opposites attract"
