I've heard Leeds have put an excellent offer in for him. They have apparently admitted this week being in the market for two NRL forwards with Waterhouse and Brent Kite rumoured to be their prime targets.

Might be why Waterhouse keeps saying he's not actually signed anything yet? Playing a bit of 'come get me' with Wire & Leeds?

Who would want to play for Leeds when you could play for the wire though?

Someone who fancies an extra £10,000 or an extra year on their deal? Leeds are a bigger club than Warrington, with a bigger history etc. I doubt NRL players coming over particularly look at the ladder, they aren't as obsessed with trophies and success as we are over here. Otherwise, why would the like of Luke Patten sign for Salford or why would anyone join Bradford Bulls?

I'm not suggesting he is joining Leeds, but he/his agent might be using it to wring the best possible deal out of Warrington?

I wouldn't say Leeds have a higher profile than Warrington in Australia. After all the Australians take more note of the Challenge Cup then the Super League and both Langer and Johns have played for us.

Much as it pains me to say it, Wigan have far and away the biggest reputation worldwide.

And with regard to money, they are working to the same salary cap as we are.

Crap, he's better than Laffrinchi.

Obviously not what we needed though as we signed Laffranchi months before Waterhouse had made his decision. We certainly don't need another backrower and I think we've got Laffranchi playing prop or TP playing prop and Laffranchi at 13.
