Would certainly take Philbin, always puts a shift in

Completely agree. Real competitor.

Did his ACL against us last season. How much of the season would he miss?

He was poor last season, but so was pretty much everyone for Wire.

Him and Satae off the bench would give us some real punch

It could be that for whatever reason they just don’t work well under the coach at the time. Philbin looked decent under Price but poor under Powell but then again who didn’t at Wire. Griffin was ok under Radford and looked ok until his Achilles and has looked off it since so maybe a lot to do with lack of confidence.


It looks like there are going to be big changes at Warrington due to a terrible season. Some of the big name players are not producing (sounds familiar), and Powell is looking to have a big clear out.

From what I've read on the Wire board Philbin has been one of these players and it wouldn't surprise me if Powell wants him out. Although I can't understand though why a player of his experience would be a loaned out for a season rather than a permanent move.

So if Wire wanted Connor and we could swap them for Philbin and Longstaff. And then use the quota spot plus excess cap (plus Shauls money) to sign an NRL 7, would people do that.

Or would it be better to keep Connor for a year and probably lose him for free the year after?

I think it depends on what kind of fee we would get for Connor and if Warrington want him.

All hypothetical of course.

Maybe start him in the second row? I'm sure he's played there a few times in the past.

Not seen that he’s signed a new deal at Huddersfield or anywhere else.
Would definitely take him if he was available.

Definitely the former.
Like the idea of Ligi in the second row too.

I would, gives us a more balanced feel to the squad
