It's only really Nicholson that's a huge blow, but we've got enough cover. Thewlis is expected to be okay. Shame Tai won't get to push for a place yet of course.
Ratchford conformed as club captain, but I suspect Williams will be directing things. Not surprised about Walker, even if Burgess is. You can see his passion and drive on the pitch, and hopefully his technical performance is consistent enough for him to keep his place.
You can also see it in the changing room after a match when Walker leads the chanting. For me this is the big difference between an import as opposed to a local grown player. They have the passion to win that is all too often missing from a journeyman professional. Walker came through the Widnes Academy but he is a Warringtonian. I am not sure how good he is, but the desire to succeed is certainly there.
