As well as our 1st (of many!) play off semi final on Friday night, it's also the last chance to see these 3 guys in the P & B on home soil.
Let's make sure we give them a rousing send off - these are 3 players who have all made great contributions to the club and I reckon that we will definitely miss all of them.
"The Warrington people hadn't had success for a few years, but there's no speccy in the world as good. They are very knowledgeable and appreciative of hard work. What they like is honesty. They want the team to try; if they fail they fail, but they expect honesty. They know when players don't put it in."

I think we will have more flair without Kingy and Louis.
That's not disrespectful, those 2 blokes have been the corner stone for success, and as such, our style of play may change when they have departed.
I think Waterhouse will be more of an offloader instead of the direct running by Louis, I also don't think we'll have a centre with the same attributes as Kingy. His size/toughness in both defence and attack were a massive asset.
I think the next era of Warrington players, especially the backs, will be more about beating the man rather than going over him. Both styles are pleasing to watch so I am looking forward to some good rugby from the men in Primrose and Blue!
Wish Clarke, Kingy and Louis all the best, they will all get clapped if/when they return to the HJ!

All have done the club proud. Clarke has put in some great shifts for us, during some dark days as well. He has to be up there as one of the great servants of the club, always giving his best and really playing himself into the ground at times when other players weren't doing the same.
Kingy's been one of my favourite players I've seen at the club, I think he'll be genuinely sad to go, he seems to love the Wire faithful and the way he's treated (after a rocky start!).

If we lose I'll be skulking off for the 22.03 train train to Manchester in a huff. If we win I'll be celebrating and will naturally applaud all three while I wait for the 22.52 train.
All three deserve respect though. Clarke has had a lot of stick throughout his time it - some deserved but much of it undeserved in my opinion - but has given a decade of loyal service. All three have played their part in the most successful era for our club in many of our lifetimes, so good luck to them all.
King will definitely be the biggest loss on the pitch mind. I'm gutted he's going.
