As he was trained in our Academy, he will register a minimum on our salary cap leaving room for additional signing(s). Good value as he will only be on the field for about 15 minutes anyway.

I was surprised that Dwyer spent 5 years at Leeds. Given the turmoil over the years that takes a bit of doing. I've not watched him closely but I have always thought that he is a right handful with ball in hand.

I sincerely hope Danny Walker fulfils his expectations & is backed up admirably by Dwyer. Danny has clearly been second fiddle to Clark & it has shown on occasions.

He definitely won't be earning £100,000

I would rather have Walker & Dwyer, than just Clark.

Saints are putting all their eggs on Clark. He’s no James Roby in terms of consistently playing 80 mins week on week and giving you 90-95%.

I rate Clark as an 85%er who is available around 60-65% of the season, of which many of those games he has come off the bench.

We will get 75-80% out of Walker and Dwyer, and both of them can give 80mins games, that 75-80% ability for 100% of a season over 85% ability over 65% of the season.

If I haven’t confused everyone.

As I’ve said many times, better letting them go a season too early, than a season too late.

You do realise that 87% of all statistics are made up.

As are 87% of your posts.

Other than the £50k cap for club trained marquees (already used by King), there is no additional allowance on the cap for players playing for Warrington developed by Warrington. There is an allowance for producing players generally, but we would get that allowance whether Dwyer was at Warrington, Wigan, Cas or London.

Well I’m fairly happy with Dwyer, yes we could do better, but not really in this country. I think the club knew it too getting him secured early.

On a personal note, there isn’t a single player at Wire won me as much money.
I was drawing on him regularly as first, or last try scorer in the 2nd half.
I don’t think I’ve shown a profit since he left.

He backs himself, I always like that and that’s why I put my money on him. There hasn’t been a player who would take it on, other than Clark, (who didn’t so much in the last 3 seasons, regularly hindered with carrying injuries) and Widdop since Dwyer left, although Haze definitely has it about him too.

RD, we did the cleaning products on another thread.
