Can see it being Warrington then because I don't think Wigan will pay extortionate wages to anyone

dont see why warrington would need him, they have myler, ratchford,monaghan and maybe briers if he carries on next year
unless we are gunna allow our young half-backs to step up next year we need to start looking for a replacement for one of our better and more consistent players
i know we dont like paying over the odds for a player but to attract a player with his qualities why not offer him a contract :conf:

If a player of that quality becomes available surely we have to be interested, not a difficult decision for me.

If a player of his quality becomes available then it has to be worth looking into. I know its not ideal to pay big money but we need to realise that it's gonna cost good money to attract someone of the same quality as Tommy.

There's a good chance it's gonna have to be an overseas player who comes in because there aren't many british players who spring to mind as ideal replacements.

I agree in I can't see him heading to Warrington as even their accountant can only fiddle the books so much to keep them within the salary cap.

Personally, I would never want the Trent Barrett fiasco ever repeated in my lifetime. We have top quality talent in abundance right now. Let's show some faith in it!

From choices in SL, Danny Brough, he leads Huddersfield around the park and hs fantastic kicking skills which we are lacking. Pretty sharp off the mark too.
