Gutted he’s going, but if you look back at all the champion teams of the last few decades, they’re the ones who have the balls to let go of their star players at the back end of their careers. The money then gets spent more wisely. I don’t know where we are going to find a replacement but two years for Hill on a big salary isn’t a sign of a new mindset at Warrington, which is what we are all hoping for. Let’s give Powell the benefit of the doubt and the chance to build something new.

Price has simplify never rated him has he, in 4 years he’s only ever had 7 minute cameos when there’s literally no one else available. Truly bizarre situation all round, why was he signed and why has he never been given a proper chance? Weird….

Tony Smith signed him didn't he (although Price extended his contract). He only has 7 minute cameo's because he simply can't play any longer without blowing out of his backside.

This has a feel of clearing the decks ready for a big announcement to me…but then I am a glass half full type…

"Chilly"... really????? Forgive me if I vomit a little.

Hill. Fantastic player and club servant. Thanks for all your efforts

Akauola... Thanks for all your..... Thanks for a.... Than.... Don't let the door catch you on your way out

IMO our best ever prop of the super league era. Im sure we have a replacement lined up and we must give Powell and the club the benefit of the doubt. Whoever comes in to replace him has huge boots to fill.

Local lad too.

It's good to be positive. Unfortunately I am a glass half empty man and I have the feeling that we are battening down the hatches because of the financial storm that has wrecked our attendance income for the last couple of years.

I considered that, but I think Middleton & Moran will maintain that salary cap spend - otherwise they wouldn't have brought in Williams.

In advance of final home league game and presentations to departing players and coaches.

I was hoping Chris would do one more year at Warrington, then return home to the (not so) mighty Leigh Centurions

Right move by the club, to move Hill on, he’s 34 and best days behind him. The wage he was on now can be, spent very wisely on new younger prop. Or an Nrl prop out of contract. I’d take Dylan Napa from the dogs. Or look at signing Tariq Sims. As long as we don’t sign Watts from Cas.

Sita never and I mean never understand why he has stole a living for 4 years.

Totally agree with this.

Have we ever had a better than the foursome of

Hill Morley Carvell Wood

Akauola or Hill?

And the 2 hookers in that pack were monaghan and Higham! To this day I'm still trying to work out how we didn't win it!!

I think we are all in that boat Moe. I know we are biased but that team deserved a GF win if only for the style of rugby that was a delight to watch. Not forgetting that season when we scored over a 1000 points ......

Chris Hill has been a very good player for us for 10 years and considering the number of NRL based forwards in the England team over the last 10 years suggests that he was the standout English forward in SL in that period.
He was an ankle tap on Kallum Watkins away from being a world cup winner.
I can't remember Mamo mentioning Hill in his famous interview but maybe he was part of the positive reinforcement crew along with Mamo and Lineham that have been sent on their way.
There are not many players left that were senior players at the end of the Tony Smith era. Just Cooper and Ratchford left really.

With Ben harrison and Cooper as well

And Westwood who was equivalent of a prop playing in the second row.

And Waterhouse, who is bigger than most props.

All in all, not a bad pack.

There were a lot of other good packs about then as well though. Leeds had a great pack and Wigan, Huddersfield were handy with big eorl.

Unless he was playing against Morley

Very true
