Nice listen on the wire in Bondi podcast witb Musgrove, seems a really nice guy.
Nice to here that he loves Warrington, loves the club and fans, his family are settled and happy, and his heart is with us and he wants to stay here.
Refreshing change rather than the usual "i'm not sure, we'll see what happens" response you hear alot.
I'm looking forward to next year, a fully fit Fitz back in the team is a big bonus, get big Dan Russell firing and up to speed could be a good addition on the right. Despite what we saw for PNG i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt until he has 2-3 games under his belt for us.
I'm optimistic about our forward pack, we're not massive but we're not small pushovers either, Thomas and Okoro could still impress on top of who we already have, and Leon Hayes And Leyland fighting for a spot in the halves i think is good for us.

Agree with virtually all of this, but I think allowing someone only 2-3 games before judging is a bit tight. Matt King was an Aus international and I think if we judged him on his 1st seaso, let alone 3 games we would have binned him off.
Of course I may be a bit soft on these things…

Also Tom Burgess has only been at Huddersfield for about a month. For him to have decided he was going to switch to Wire if Vaughan didn't come back, he would have had to have decided he hated Huddersfield within about an hour of having arrived. Which, if it is the case, points to him being a pretty fickle character who doesn't do his due diligence.

“(decided within) about an hour of having arrived” where have said that?

However, it’s said we make an opinion on someone or something within the first 6 seconds.
So perhaps this one hour you suggested makes GB more fickle than you imagined, and is far too long to take your post serious!?

Well Burgess joined Huddersfield a month ago, and Vaughan was pictured in training with us two weeks ago (at which point we can assume any doubt about whether he was coming back was put to bed).

So somewhere in the space of the 2-2.5 weeks before that Burgess will have needed to have decided he hated Huddersfield and start putting feelers out about other clubs, and for that rumour to spread.

After a Sydney to Huddersfield bump, I’d be surprised if the rumour he hates it wasn’t true.

To be fair to Huddersfield you could say that about any Superleague club location.

That could be true, because I also heard Hilly also hated it at Huddersfield.

Livett officially released by Huddersfield.

Re: Recruitment, rumours and links : Tue Dec 17, 2024 8:17 pm  

If that is true about Livett being on 100k per year then you really can make a decent living nowadays being a RL pro.
