For fellow posters read Wires71 & karetaker ... NEG1 and NEG2. Nothing personal and all a bit of fun & we all love Wire. I absolutely agree with you though ... we all need cheering up. 

He’d be a significant upgrade on our current right centre.

Genuine strike centre, be a good addition. Just for the rest of the year or are they looking at a multi year deal?

Apparently Burgess is looking to sign Tui kamikamica, i wouldn't mind him here at all. Another big bulldozer prop like Vaughan, he'd be a much Welcomed forward for us. Him, Vaughan, Byrne, Harrison, Philbin etc makes us look MUCH better.
He might take a paycut to stay at Melbourne though as that looks like his only choice to stay in Oz.

I am always sceptical these days with overseas recruitment ,too many come with either lack of commitment or disciplinary baggage. Remember Roy Has it easy & i'm sure Ese Ese would soon change his name to Easy does it once he got his feet under the HJ table.
Chris Hill was still doing a good job last night.

(The page navigation is on this forum is absolutely dreadful btw, if anyone has worked it out I'd love to know.)


McDonald sounds like a classic Warrington signing. A very skilful player with a, erm, very fickle personality - he'd play the perfect blend of good performances and completely anonymous/error-ridden ones, and as soon as we lost a few games the rumour mill about his extra-curriculars would be in overdrive. And all the people who are bigging him up now would be tutting and blaming the Warrington 'culture'.
