Hopefully he has a blinder tomorrow, good luck to him - unrecognisable from the player of last season. According to the Powell interview we spend a LOT of time now looking at recruitment (thankfully) and there is no point rushing his replacement. I'd be happy with Tanginoa despite injury record concerns. Is his injury record bad? I seem to think it is but am not sure.

Apparantley we're keen again and making enquiries. Only just turned 29, would be a very good signing IMO.

It would only be a swap deal. Wakey want a middle, who you giving up?

I'd be comparing wakey's s&c staff to ours. Got to be some benefit to not doing it on a shoe string

Surely we're still in credit for giving you Rob butler last year

Think you might be a little more generous this time.

His full seasons:

2020 - 21 games
2021 - 22
2023 - 23

He's injured at the moment but during his time at Wakefield, he's probably played over 80% of their games. So not bad at all really. For example, since his first full season in SL, he's played more games than Chris Hill and Mike Cooper.

I can’t see Warrington offering you a forward and if that means missing out on the player, then we will surely look elsewhere.

Ben Harrison, Tom Lineham, come on - we’ve been generous to the extreme

That depends on how much your coach wants Tanginoa i guess.
