Great news, lets hope the remaining 13 or so contain no HKR players.

Very very odd choice of squad IMO.
I Strongly disagree.
Westwood just gets better and better every year.
When he first signed for Warrington he was a donkey, now he's a player who plays 80 minutes and continually busts as many tackles in the 70th minute as he does the 10th. He's cut a lot of the daft penalties out and this year under TS he looks even better than last year.
Should he be in the team before Ellis or Hock? I personally rate them as better players, Hock especially from the bench but for mine he's better than almost all the other British second rowers around, something I thought i'd never say about Ben Westwood, credit to his hard work over the last 4 years or so.
I agree on the squad choice though, could have been a couple more backs, mainly Fox for me, I really rate that guy.

"They'd butt each other like a pair of billy goats and would both look like a mess at the end of the game. I'd often see Billy an hour later sharing a beer with his rival, with both blokes sporting half a dozen stitches in their scones. They were a breed apart, fornt-rowers - blokes like Bluey were proof of that." Johnny Raper on Billy Wilson and other front rowers of the time
Most Warrington fans would put Morley and Westwood's name as the first two name on the team sheet. Reading this most oppositon fans don't appreciate their work but Warrington are much poorer when one of them is missing.
The best way to predict the future is to create it...

Someone missing the big red elephant in the room then?
Graham is the pinnacle of prop forwards in this country. Him and Peacock are the two leading props by quite some distance. Then comes the likes of Lynch, Morley and co.
And by the way I wish people would stop comparing Maurie Fa'asavalu to your regular props. He is an impact player and has done it very consistently this season. He's just not being noticed because of a lack of 50 metre dashes that were his trademark and because of Bailey's accidental high shot.

Correct. Morley has been our best player this year so far, by a long way aswell.
Now The Wire.

Westwood has never been a donkey, he was a good centre who has turned in to an even better second rower.
