From what I heard, there is no way Mrs Holbrook was letting her hubby come back to these shores, especially not so close to St Helens.="wire2004

Something seems a bit fishy with Justin Holbrooks sudden change of heart. The tickets were booked. Until he talked to his wife apparently. It was 24 hours. What changed in 24 hours. Surely they are not that stupid to have not had the conversation 2 months ago when things started getting vocal and he was being linked to the job then that when Middleton came in with the offer. This is what they would've taken and accepted and all that backroom stuff families talk about.'"

Sounds like the plan for Dudson Edit: Bullock was for a game in the reserves followed by him and Kasiano playing vs Hull FC, seems sensible based on the length of time he’s been out? https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... ury-scans/

I see what GC is doing. He looks to be emulating what Cullen did to get us into our first play offs. Rest up players for games he thinks we may not win, and target them for games he thinks he will. So the plan was to have Big Sam and Bullock v Hull. However it’s gone slightly south, so Dudson looks to keep his place. Although he was ok v Leeds. Perhaps pulling his finger out a bit.

We can't do that strategy this year because we'd be resting everybody every week.

I think some of the boys have been getting plenty of rest during games .

Didn't Powell leave by mutual consent to?



So at least there is some alignment between incoming and outgoing coaches.
