Cheshire Setter

Ah I get the joke now... I was assuming they just called him John Inverdale.

Always encouraging to see how many Wire fans come from further down the M6 and across the M56. I’ve always wondered why the club don’t push their efforts a little further towards the midlands and north wales as we are within an hour of Wrexham and Staffs/Shrops... I suppose a lot of the time it’s a case of making people aware that RL exists, let alone Warrington. Does surprise me how often I see Wire shirts further south than the M62 though. Not sure whether that’s indigenous Warringtonians who left, or curious observers who wonder what life is like north of Crewe

The fact that you were born in South Cheshire means Warrington are your local team, that should have settled it already Out of interest, which part of South Cheshire? I’ve seen a few people in Warrington gear on the Shropshire borders.

You have to remember that the current generation of players didn’t grow up watching Action movies and playing Streetfighter... it was all Zombie films and teenage Vampire romance flicks. Teeth are the new fists.

The video shows Connor walking away indicating to Washbrook to that something has happened to his arm, but there's nothing on it. I have therefore come to the conclusion that Milner has stolen his watch. It will probably turn up at a car boot sale in Fryston.

I think he’s just championing it as a method of achieving the goal without much of a penalty! He didn’t say he didn’t agree with it!

Fix!

Fair point. I wasn’t thinking and was just making fun of the bad guys without reading my post. To be fair I did say I should have paid more attention in a History class at school... I apologise if I’ve offended any Nazis ... and hope they have a nice retirement in South America.

At least at Gold Coast he can have Tyrone Roberts as his mentor on how to really embrace life overseas I was secretly hoping Watkins would end up at Warrington to replace Atkins and try rekindle his undoubted class. If it doesn’t work out in the NRL might still be an option for the future... there aren’t many decent centres about, and he’s still young enough.

It’ll be interesting to see how he goes if Smith is prepared to give him a chance at HKR. Quinlan you would think would be first choice.

I don’t know much about Dagger but I think if he’d been patient enough at Wire he might have been Ratchford’s understudy and got four months worth of full back experience to prove his worth. As it stands Thewlis will be the new fullback poster boy (if we ease him in slowly). Tony Smith has worked with Dagger at Warrington though, and he seems to be able to get the most out of certain problem children (eg Briers) and ship out those who can’t fall into line (eg Gleeson).

You’ve gone to quite a lot of trouble there LW!

Totally agree with this. I’m sick to the back teeth of seeing drink-driving go unpunished. It seems you get vilified in the media these days because a caution sign that says ‘Men at work’ is somehow sexist, yet it’s apparently fine to endanger my kids on the roads because some people can’t be a***ed to get a taxi home.

TRL gets more like RLFANS every day. It’s like Benjamin Button.

Back in the day, the club’s website had its own forum. I think it was from about 1999 to the mid-2000s. There was an infamous poster who went under the handle of ‘Wire2004’ who used to get ripped for some crazy views. I wonder what happened to him? Some posters like me ended up on RLFANS and I didn’t even discover this forum until a few years ago.
