Off the field ... I don't know who really makes the decisions. Not really into sacking people (especially the daft idea of sacking everyone) and would prefer to work with people & the next person in might be worse.. Question. Why should being employed by Warrington Wolves be any different to being employed by any other private sector company? If they worked at IBM, for example, based on performance Fitzpatrick and Chambers would be out of the door by now, as would several of the players and Burgess would be on a competency assessment. But apparently you get a free pass if you work for us? Sorry I haven't a clue about how ruthless IBM is? Might be on dicey grounds for dismissing staff if there was a high percentage of injury within their the workforce. That well know phrase "mitigating circumstances" might be mentioned. So you believe there is mitigation for the way the club as been run for a good number of years now. 20 years of mitigation perhaps. Im not buying injuries as we were poor with a full side out from the get go this year. It is indisputable that we have had the finances and facilities to compete with the top clubs for 20 years and yet failed to establish ourselves as one. We nearly did it under Smith but since then it's been a steady spiral downwards. 1 challenge cup in 13 years for countless millions in full cap spend and big name signings. Whats makes it all the worse is that we are a perennial laughing stock. There should be an outcry of alarm bells ringing around the HJ over the fact that a team, who were only promoted to SL in 2017, are going to win a Grand Final before us given how much we have spent. It’s damning that is. I was saying to the gf (Wire supporter) this weekend, that it's arguable two clubs (HKR & Leigh) who have recently spent time in the Championship have progressed past Warrington. Even Catalan, albeit they are having a shocking year this year, have had more success than us in the last 5-10 years. The Hull KR comparison though is damning. |

On loan until end of the season, which is in September. So, in other words he ain't good enough for his own team. Great.
There are plenty of precedents of this working; not least when we've signed Wardle and Bateman previously. Who knows what will happen here but I don't think this tenure automatically makes it a bad idea. Anyone coming over from Australia at 30 years old, with 8 games left of the season because they can't get in their own team abd specialises in a position we don't need help in is a terrible move. |

Just as an aside, as Just Browny said, John Bateman was 30, joined in late July 2024 with 8 league games remaining, and couldn't get in the West Tigers side. He made a positive contribution. |

He can make a wonderful contribution…but in the words of Kyle Amor ‘it matters not’. We could win every game (we won’t win 4) and still we wouldn’t qualify.

Bateman didn't do that well and nobody will remember his stint. Did well defensively but offered almost nothing in attack. If Matterson is another Bateman (he isn't) then we don't need him. We aren't getting relegated and we aren't making the playoffs off the back of an anonymous second rower. Just look at what his own speccies say. They don't want him back next year. |

Perhaps there will be quite a few of these cast offs coming over when the NRL template is in place. At least there a plenty of last chance saloons over here.
