He won't leave Warrington for any team other than one in NRL imo

Bit odd this? Warrington don't even play Ben Currie in the centres, so why would we?

He does play out wide on the left, a bit like Olly for us. Might just make a centre like Bateman has, but he's an injury nightmare.

Played centre in his early days. Just a thought with all the injury time he's had, just wondered if Warrington might of considered getting shut.

You never know.

Anyway doesn't look like we're going to make any signings now ready for pre season. Hopefully Truey deal is one that's incremental over time and doesn't add to this season's cap too much.

The total value is spread over the length of the contract to stop clubs from losing contracts towards the end then getting rid of players. EG If Trueman is on £500,000 over the four years, £125,000 with count towards the cap for each season

I'd be surprised if we don't announce a couple of new signings shortly ...

I don't think we will sign anyone before the season KO for a start who is there to buy ?? we will most likely wait till a player wants to leave a club or as been pushed out, it worked for us this year

That's the way to do your recruiting, is this really the way to go for a side with asperations.

But some seem to think we buy players in a scattergun way, hoping a few make it. Maybe the right players aren't available yet or are waiting for all offers before deciding?

The whinos are paying Hurrell twice as much as our top player and looking to pay more for another. We can't compete with them until we get into the new ground.

As I understand it, Cas are paying the full salary cap, just the same as Leeds do so we do appear to be competing on a reasonably level playing field. We just may not be able to sign a marquee player but even Leeds can only sign one of them.

No but they'll sell an extra 1000 season tickets on the back of it.

If a crowd average of 7.5k means top salary cap, imagine what 16.5k does and then 1000 corporate payers on top. There's your marquee money x2 and new players, extra facilities, it goes on.

Leeds actually have 2000 corporate. Wow.

Yes, a smaller ground but we rarely fill it. It's the corporate stiff we can quadruple. It'll make a huge difference. It would take us to another level.
