For example i would have felt quite confident three months ago that Pryce would be in the Bradford kit now because of the number of 'inside sources' i had heard of. They all apparently amounted to nothing.
They usually do! I've learned not to take any notice of what anyone says, except Mr Messy. He seems to know a thing or two, especially about which Saints player is going to be out injured!
I think with James graham saying practically that he wants to be in aus, at a bloming fans forum (he said 50/50 i take that as a sugar coat) he is going to go.
Oh yes, I think most of us are expecting Jammer to leave at the end of 2011. No matter how much money we offered him, if he has a lifelong wish to play in Australia then that is what he will do, given the opportunity (which he now has). But last season loads of people were saying he was off to Warrington!
Morely apparently wants to have a go at salfrod before he retires. I, personally, don't see the harm and would welcome him going to his home town club for a final season. I can't help thinking pryce might do the same.
I agree with you there. I just don't want Pryce to get all sentimental just yet! I think Warrington have probably had the best years out of Morely. Do you think another season and then he'll be gone?
As i said, i think it is fans of rugby trying to account for 2 broken ankles. It sin't a regular occurrence in the span of one season. It was like as soon as he was back on the field he wanted to go off. I would imagine he is just exceptionally unlucky. And this has caused some of the tension over is he going? if he had had a good season with saints this year. Everyone knows whrere they stand.
Yes, I agree. Hopefully he doesn't have a physical weakness but this was more a case of inexperience on his part in managing himself on the pitch or inept conditioning/training. I guess only time will tell.
You imagine the other friendlies will be full team? we had one, against Widnes, where there was a lot of youngsters. I can't account for the Widnes team. They certianly didn't look like yougsters but i wouldn't be surprised if there was a mixture there for both teams.
We're going with a pretty strong squad against Widnes on Sunday. We have four first team players still injured (Wello, Lomax, Eastmond and Perry) but the rest are playing. No doubt they will be rotated and we are starting with Lee Gaskell, a real newbie (only played three bits of games last season) as our scrum half. I don't know how strong a side Widnes is putting out but I'm looking forward to having a peek at Saints under our new coach.
The CC is where Wire win and the competition is getting good. I think the new additions at Warrington will be great but we seemed the real deal last year and we under achieved. If anyone can get Wire thinking the right way it is Lord Tony. I am hopeful but i don't expect a landslide next year. I think i would prefer to be pleasantly surprised.
Fair enough. In the new Monaghan you have recruited it sounds like you have yourself a really good player although I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing him for other reasons just now.
When do we first play you? I hope the jokes haven't grown old by then! But seriously. There is no reason why Warrington can't improve on last year. It would take you beating Saints, really, because that was (once again) your undoing last season.
I don't think i would be too out of line saying, sometimes the better team lost.
I totally agree, especially during the last couple of seasons. KC just knew what to do to undermine Warrington. I think it was his sport! I would imagine things will be different this season. I just can't see the hoodoo continuing now he has gone and we are out of KR.
I hope to see the faces of Saints fans in the west stand knowing they were out played and there was nothing their team could do about it.
Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if Saints fans ended up cheering for Warrington when you do finally beat us. Only the first time, mind you! But it wouldn't surprise me. (Unless it's in the knockout stages of a comp in which case scrap what I just wrote!)
