I'm happy with that as if we get injuries he's still available to us.

Yes Wire are effectively helping a rival club by loaning Dwyer to Leigh, so I suspect the deal is for Dwyer to prove himself there with a view to being signed if he does OK there.

Otherwise it would be better for us to loan him to Widnes.

Our club will, of course, gain financially from the deal. If we get injuries we'll get him back. All OK.

Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Mon Feb 26, 2024 5:24 pm  

He looked quite useful in the pre-season game, so as a 3rd choice hooker to bring back in case of injuries, the deal makes sense.

Two tries from the bench for Mikaele pre-season for the Cowboys. Doubt he'll be coming back in that form.

Also, Josh Drinkwater's brother was killing it in that game. Even though he prefers fullback I'd take him at 6/7 over Josh. Looks far more creative and a passing game to die for.
