Thewlis goes straight in to fullback.

......and so it begins. Do others clubs sign players with more baggage than Terminal 2?

If this is the case AND McGuire gets another ban then sacked, what's the betting that Vaughan goes back at the end of this season too, 2 year extension or not?

Shambolic if true

CEO Karl needs a kick up the behind, a firm one at that!

Have Warrington not learnt any lessons about Oz imports?
They can’t hack it over here!

They are deserting a sinking ship. Vaughan will be next when all his mates have gone.

I actually came on here to ask whether any one knows what time the hearing is this afternoon?

When will we know the outcome… as if we can’t already guess that of course!

Yup, that's the talk amongst the players too. You can see in his body language he isn't fully committed. He's meant to be looking through every possible loophole to get released. The easiest I guess is just to claim homesickness and fly home. It's not like he's going to get an NRL contract anytime soon anyway.

Hope this isn't true but if it is maybe there needs an overseas policy review with a focus on lesser knowns being pursued or indeed English in which case go after the likes of max jowitt when Wakefield go down

We don't need a full back. Thewlis first choice, Ashton back up, Ratchford third choice (and there may be another in the academy).

Losing 3 overseas players in half a season is some ruddy going. Thewlis is a class act so him going to FB is not a downgrade at all.

I suppose you can’t legislate for homesickness but KFP likes to bang on about all the due diligence he does for signings and it’s clearly not diligent enough. Whole transfer approach needs to change and KFP needs his marching orders ASAP*. No idea what the board see in him.

* the earring alone would be enough.

Ratchford unfortunately will be too old for next season ... Ashton an out an out winger and I like Josh but susceptible under the high ball when he's given the chance ... So would prefer him on the wing also ... But we should pursue British options from here on in if this is now the norm of Warringtons overseas recruitment

Niall Evalds would be a great capture for Warrington for next year but you will have some competition to sign him.
Believed to be leaving Cas at the end of the season.

Ashton isn't an out an out winger, he arrived at the club as a fullback. He has developed into a top class winger, but he was just as impressive in his early days with us playing at fullback.

And there’s nothing unfortunate about Ratchford getting older, the quicker he retires the better.

Thewlis #1 and just back the lad, he’ll be great.

Even Gareth O'Brien . He makes a difference to every team he plays for & wouldn't get homesick.

Unfortunately, backing people isn't really something we do, is it, I mean, look at the 10 zillion posts on the Powell Out thread?...

Ratchford is still our best at beating a man with footwork and an excellent defender. In fact our left hand side was the dangerous side on Sunday; the right hand side was the debacle.

Just a reminder that Maguire is part of our official leadership group!

Niall Evalds? Max Jowitt? Who's next, Jamie Shaul?

Thewlis, Thewlis, Thewlis. Is the answer.

Until he drops a ball most of the Kings head turns on him

Another one the silent majority wanted rid of as not being good enough

The Wolves were warned about McGuire’s disciplinary record before he made the move from the NRL.

In 2021, while playing for St George Illawarra Dragons, he was handed two separate five match bans, either side of a one-game ban for breaching the NRL’s COVID-19 biosecurity protocols.

The former Australia international played more than 250 games in the NRL for the Dragons, North Queensland and Brisbane Broncos, where he made his name between 2009 and 2018.

So why did Fitzpatrick and whoever else knew sign Maguire
Just shows how bad it may be at the club at present.

To be fair on OBrien he wasn't that bad for us IMO but he's had a better time of it away from Warrington and half back

Where is his past record on saying discriminatory language ?

He's done it to be fair bit ....people are still supportive of him but I'm not convinced that full back will be his long term position next season even if they give him an extended run

Where is his past record on saying discriminatory language ?

Its not the language I'm stating it's his length of bans which leads to believe his on field actions have warranted 5 games
So it wouldn't bother you if we signed an nrl player with that record?
