I'm sure that we can whip him into shape...

I did keep an eye on him when we played London and without being too harsh as he's young and played in a well beaten team and I've liked what I've seen previously (in glimpses), but I think that the lad fluffed his lines if that was an audition.

Maybe it was a simple touch of the hors d'oeuvres, the thrill of the greasepaint and smell of the crowd, or playing against his future teammates thinking he had a point to prove but he's a project signing for me.

Hope so Rico. He's currently got a bigger pot belly than me.

I like how you say 'currently', as if you are determined to win back that crown!

just to say as well, the level of tackling in that vid is awful, but there's a lot of stuff in there, definite yellow this season in league, but i thought they went mental in RU for anything near the head?

I am glad our thoroughly professional recruitment process for 2025 /26 is well underway. Detailed videos, statistics, assessments and references from our Northern and Southern hemisphere scouting network balanced against our needs assessment agreed with the performance team, long lists whittled down to short lists - not forgetting the chance vital celebrity fishing trip to give us the inside line.

I can just imagine Chambers reporting up to the board that for 2025 we need an out of condition, big bopper, with random offload, who will be blowing after 10 minutes who has never played RL before.

FFS Just do one Fitzpatrick. You are a joke. When will you learn? Or is this the owners playing with the train set again?

In case you are wondering how this well go.


Fitzpatrick on Burrell - Abject failure
Wire chief executive Karl Fitzpatrick says the club could not pass up the opportunity to sign Burrell and he expects him to be a big hit with the Wolves faithful. “Opportunities like this don’t come along that often, to sign a player of Luther’s quality and playing CV is fantastic for the club and for Super League. “Having played most of his junior rugby in league, Luther is aware of the required skill-set and the physical demands. “His impressive stature, bone-crunching hits and dynamic running are sure to make him a firm favourite with our supporters.”

Fitzpatrick on Inglis - Abject failure
"This is not a pay day and he is not coming for a pension." Fitzpatrick says it is a boost now just for The Wire, but the wider game during the current pandemic which has seen rugby league, along with most other areas of life, shut down. He added: "It is incredible. This is a signing for all our members and partners to thank them for their loyalty. "This is something for them to look forward too during these tough times. "He looks in great condition and is refreshed and raring to go."

‘Mr Fitzpatrick you’ve been noticeably quiet this season - is there any correlation between that and the club’s hugely improved season and recruitment policy?’

Ellis Genge was the first name that came into my head when I was thinking who would be second choice after we failed to sign Nate Cleary.
