Surely we have to try Bevan and Jackson at 6 and 7? It's the only chance before the season starts and this partnership is the big hope and the big unknown for 2021. No need to rush Manfredi now that we have the reserves back. Liam Marshall is a great back up and I'm sure he'll start the season.

Interesting rumours today about the possibility of Ben Flower moving on before the season starts. Our pack looks strong but I wouldn't want to be losing Ben (surely in our top 4 props) without another signing. Perhaps he sees the 'writing on the wall' with his contract running out this season and is...

I think that to be able to win the competition, the Jackson, Bevan combination has to be a success. Jackson with anybody else should be an improvement on what we had this year but not good enough to beat saints in a big game. We then need (like all squads) luck with injuries and a couple of players ...

It's difficult for us to compete with the NRL money but we can insist on players not leaving until the final year of their contract, picking up a fee that suits us and getting first refusal on their return. What really annoys me is when they go with two or three years left on their contract. Wigan p...

Any more news anybody, one last Christmas present for the Warriors fans?

I'd be surprised if Ben didn't expect to lose out to George but he must be sick to see Clubby get a squad number ahead of him. It's interesting to see that some players take the squad numbers seriously whilst others clearly don't care. That being the case perhaps coaches need to take that into accou...

Really can't see why we'd need Dwyer. We've got Sam P and Tommy with young Amir to back them up. If we do sign Dwyer I hope that isn't because Tommy is playing 7 with Bevan at 6 because Jackson really isn't coming over. Hope I'm adding 2 and 2 to make 5. If Jackson arrives as I expect him to I suppo...

Brian seems to forget that he was a player once. I wonder how much less he'd have accepted for putting in all that effort into training etc. When union players like George Ford are looking at £600 000 per year for their next contract I don't see how Super league could compete with an even smaller ca...

Letting Jarrod go does suggests to me that Lammy is expecting French to play at 6. I think a really successful season (i.e. reaching a final or winning a trophy) is dependent on Bevan fitting in at 6 because, even with Hastings, if we're relying on Tommy at halfback again we just won't have the comb...

I'm sure that Sean isn't being considered as a first team coach just yet but it would be reassuring to think that he's being considered and trained up for the role eventually. If so then why not organise some stints with NRL teams (Wests sand Souths spring to mind) to pick up as wide a range of expe...
