Think we should try to swap Savelio for Frankie Halton from rovers. Swift will go back to Lancs poss (leigh/salford)


Why would we want to do that? Smith seems to see Savelio as a problem. We have an excellent team spirit and WP will only sign players who will improve the squad skill wise and also enhance the togetherness. I cannot see him doing either. I can see from an FC point of view Frankie Halton would do both of those things for the squad. If you think your suggestion is realistic you do not understand what WP is trying to achieve.

Taylor and Houghton have improved so much the last few matches. Like having new players. We really are putting the effort and determination in which as supporters is the main thing you look for. It's a happy spell for us supporter's

Agree with Keith for once, can't see him at Rovers. Can see Savelio at Leigh or at a push Wire as a bench forward

Can see Savelio at Leigh or Cas for me, maybe Salford. It's a real shame as he as all of the tools to be a top, top player but just not seemingly the application.

Not tempting.

Chuck in D. Litten as a makeweight, then maybe. Then take out Savelio, and it’s a probably.

Watch us blooming sign him at the end of the season now! :)

Halton is signed up to the end of 2025.

I’m very impressed with D. Litten. Looks a good ‘un.

Taylor agree with

Houghton doesn't take games by scruff of the neck that's why he's never got close to England/gb cap

Dwyer actually offers attacking intent

Think that's harsh. DH was never a controlling playmaker, but he does the little things right and his defence, previously impeccable, had dropped off, but, that has visibly improved of late. He was very good last night. You mention international recognition as the yardstick by which he is judged, so then, by your judgement, Clifford is poor, as he has been nowhere near an Origin squad, let alone an international cap. Dwyer, while occasionally box office, scares me to death a lot of times, his decision making is, at times, very poor and he seems to make spur of the moment plays, especially on the last tackle, which only he can read and which have been poor and cost us territory .

Taylor was excellent again and another player whose improvement is visibly evident .

I think I'm more upset about losing Swift than Satae, last night to be proved why we shouldn't have offered him big money to stay (which still might not been enough), I watched him closely, after his initial error from his first carry, he didn't take a drive for the next two sets we had, played 33 minutes (with half time in-between) and carried the ball 7 times, to be fair about from the other error from the offload, his runs where very effective, but I think we need more from him, A player who his effective as he is should be doing 50% more than that. Works hard in attack but I want to see him take the ball in more.


This is it with Satae goes hiding at times, destructive on his day but can be lazy, the big lad for wakefield who came on similar time to Satae first half must of took about 5 or 6 carries in , Satae made 2 in the first half not really good enough is it. We need a general whos demanding more, and getting them lined up, i think in attack our props dont work hard enough , needs addressing as when they do run they make good yardage

It's far harder to get representative honours in Australia because the standard is so much higher. Many NRL players who have excelled in SL have not got anywhere near Origin.

Most people had written off Houghton after last season but his recent form suggests if used correctly could have another season in him. Taylor as well. I haven't seen a performance like for many a year.

Agree what you said about Dwyer.

Dywer rumour to Warrington picking up pace, like Satae very 50/50, apart from. the odd run I haven't been overally impressed with him, however is there scope on the market to replace him.
