Just working on convincing Nathan cleary to come over. DW a big attraction apparently

Thing is you need a balance of youth & experience to win titles -- hence why Batty, Faz & Smithies is perfect.

Byrne 22, Havard 21, Partington 23, Shorrocks 22 + Ellis 25, Mago 27, Singo 29, Cooper 33.

By the time we "need" young forwards, we'll have many more prospects coming through.

Sad to hear this based on some glowing reviews about his potential.

We cannot keep them all, but you have to hope we keep the best players.

Would rather we didn’t resign McDonnel if it meant keeping him.

I'd rather we kept them both even if it means releasing KPP early.

I’m fecking fed up of this all our best prospects being signed up with other clubs or NRL!

It is up to the club to make sure they have our best prospects tied down.

Good points but it often comes down to game time, Matty must look at the team and see Bateman, Faz, KPP, Isa, Smithies as backrow competition with McDonnel and Nsemba (and others) waiting in the wings. Even with more cash some will leave for 1st team rugby.

There's two you've named there before Nicholson who won't be here come the end of next season!
That's the future!!

I agree,if a player has a new deal sorted at another club let them go,nothing wrong in it but the club has more players than places to keep a player who’s going anyway (seemingly) makes little sense and in the end could end up biting the club on the behind.

Nicholson joins Warrington

Suppose the good thing to take away is he’s staying over here and the NRL isn’t the be all of our sport at least to this young lad still good luck to him,it’s either the beginning of a bright new dawn at wire..or not we shall see.

If you read the press releases, the move becomes even odder. Wigan clearly disappointed in the player but Warrington aren't even planning on playing him this year stating that he'll come to first grade in 2023.
