| You are absolutely right. I am guessing. That's my point.
If you do in fact know, then someone is not being fair to the kid. His contract should be between him, his agent and the club CEO.

Can't really blame my phone any more. I just need to check as you say.
But I think I need a different phone too!

| He’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay.
Some Coaches will see him as a great fit within their team and will value the attributes he brings because they maybe attributes that are badly required. Another Coach may not need what Jordan brings and would therefore value him less or not want him at all.
He’s an Academy product and thus has probably suffered lower wages for quite some time, so if he can move elsewhere and secure a solid salary then I’m happy for him.
Good Luck Jordan

| I hope he does well.
I have a lot of time for Crowther. He's a leader and a hard worker.
In some teams that will be just what they need, but I think our team needs something different. If we are in the championship he might be ok but if we want to push on we need to have a Westerman or someone of his calibre....but younger.

Well I'm kinda hoping we'll use the overseas spaces for some young gun.
But then I thought we would do that for the 6 at the beginning of the season so what do I know.

Surely once MC has gone the future is bright? That's what I've heard.

| I am not too concerned about players ages if they can do the business and keep us up this year, or get us a quick promotion next year,as long as they are on short contracts.After that we need to start adding quality younger players.

This year yes I agree we need players to do a job for us. However for me we need to be starting to look toward the future from 2024 onward. It’ll take some rebuilding so I get some players do need to be retained but our problem is there’s too many older lads in the squad. Hope we keep Franco then add another young speedy winger to the squad. Possibly keep Kershaw as back up after Kay but I don’t really rate him. Two good centres needed a good half back next year and another one the year after. If anyone comes in for Lino let him go he’s certainly not the answer. If we can keep our existing props I’d be fine with that. Been heavily critical of renouf this season and rightly so imo but he’s improving with big Dave by his side and has shown us there’s a player in there, need him to carry that in after Dave goes. A good 13 would be a nice addition but I don’t think that will be 2024 with the amount of back row forwards we have under contract especially if we stay up with Kelepi still being under contract. I’d like to see dagger retained and fight it out with max for the one shirt or get a prolonged shot at halfback with Gale. Harvey Smith needs to be offered a long term deal with appearance incentives that trigger pay rises and bonuses. I’d offer Croft one more year but it would be make or break for him and I like the look of Law who could well be ready to replace him soon. A lot of wheeling and dealing to be done and for consistency and fluency it can’t all be done at once. I’d also look at bringing Hooley in from Leeds. He’s not getting a shot and it looks like they’re on the lookout for a new fullback for next year. He knows the place and has quality written all over him. He could well overtake max at the back which would leave dagger in the halves as stated earlier.

Well we couldn’t continue on our current trajectory or do you think continuing with our current incumbents is worth it for historical reasons

| Recently married , young family , and a short career , who can blame the lad for taking the king’s ransom,or in this case Castleford’s enhanced contract .Been a great servant to our club over the years and a player I can honestly say has put the effort and commitment in whilst on the field ,no world beater but a good honest hard working player ,the likes of which clubs need as their building blocks . I wish him all the best in his new venture

And the money. If we stay up we have a lot of people on contract so can't just randomly bring new ones in.

| I always find it interesting to see how our former players perform with better players around them. I never had any doubts that TJ and Batchelor would be better for it however with regards Crowther I must admit he never impressed me . I accept he is basically a good club man but I always thought he lacked any creativity to play at number 13. I would never have believed he would have been the type of player Warrington needed but maybe he will thrive with lacked better players around him. It certainly will be interesting to see how he goes for the rest of the season.

| Is Batchelor better at Hull KR?
TJ is clearly getting better rehab/fitness advice and opportunities with the ball. I hope he gets top try scorer.
Batch is still good. But I can't see that he's better than he was with us.

| I feel circumstances have dictated this rather than it being a reflection on Jordan or his character.
If it wasn’t a direct shoot out between us and the team he was going to next year then I doubt he leaves.
As it is though it’s awkward especially coming into a crucial part of the season.
I’m not questioning his character but in a team dynamic it’s bound to generate a few whispers and put him under the microscope.
It makes perfect sense for both parties to shake hands and walk away amicably removing any external or internal pressures on the situation.
Who knows, we may see him back with us next year if Cas drop and we stay up.

| IF we stay up and Cas go down, then JC has made his bed. Same with Miller, don’t want to see him back here.
