Now as we are out of the world cup the club could give us now the squad numbers and announce that Bateman is leaving.

Thinking ahead to Wardle, what an opportunity for him to be England’s main centre for the next decade after Watkins performance and Newman being made of biscuit.

Given he has another year on his Roosters deal I don’t see anyway he would come over to SL on anything less than a multi year contract.

He should have been playing instead of Watkins, who has been playing 2nd row all season for Salford.

he's probably not played well enough to warrant selection this season though. Not helped by falling out with Hudds / Watson and then playing in a poor wire side



re Watkins, he's had a fantastic season at Salford, but i think he's probably a yard too slow for centre at the top level, hence his move to 2nd row

bit of an update on the Mago rumour from the warriors fans forum



Mago was offered to Wakey but pulled back as Bateman off to Oz (fan speaking to Wakey chairman at weekend)

Wardle is a left sided centre. Going forward he will be competing with Farnworth for a centre spot.



It’s players like Newman we need to get fit who is a natural right sided centre.

Hull showing interest supposedly

So says Dan the man.

Hastings poised to move away from West's which suggests Bateman definitely on his way as its rumoured they didn't get on at Wigan.

We don't have a quota spot

JWH is in the top 5 best props in the World, a fantastic workrate and he is very aggressive but can keep his cool. I would happily lose Bateman and Mago for JWH and promote Nsemba to take the 2nd row spot.
