Been told we have signed Luke Thompson as replacement for Mike Cooper.

We’ve not.

I'd honestly rather have Oledzki. He'd be on a cheaper wage than LT, so use the extra as a transfer fee.

Also agree with the sentiments of him getting a job on the backroom staff. Not many people have had the journey or breadth of experience that Isa has. Add in his undoubted commitment, attitude and personality and there's plenty he could teach the academy/scholarship lads.

Retire now and open up a quota spot for this season?

Well people from Warrington may as well be from a different country

I think he’d be a big miss if he did retire even going in to next year. I’ve not heard anything that says otherwise guessing it all hinges on how he recovers.

I understand he has been told even prior to the injury that he was free to explore his options going into 2024 as we wouldn’t be offering him a new deal.

Rads getting ruthless that’s what we need. Decisions made for the club not players.

I don’t believe that considering he was our best prop before he got injured. Unless he’s got someone to bring in

We talking Cooper or Isa here who has been told he could look elsewhere prior to injury?

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sat Jul 29, 2023 2:44 pm  

I'm talking about Isa. Close to the deadline, but if he's done from A - this season's perspective and B - as a career, then why not retire and see what can be done?
