I cant believe Warrington have bought hilly just to ship him out again.
A good off season with full time training and he will be in the Warrington squad in no time, then once he's up to the speed of sl,just watch him go.

I honestly think he'll be not only a regular, but probably their best prop next year.

You're probably right, just wishful thinking on my part.

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

Smithy said that he was impressed with his work ethic, his fitness, his whole character and he could play a bit of footy which always caught his eye.

Didn't I read somewhere that Hilly played Stand off in his younger days?

I think you'll find most pro players have played more pivotal positions in their younger years , then their body shape changes and they take a certain position

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

I played scrum half for Canberra Raiders as a lad, won the NRL, World CUp, Wimbledon, and the Eurovision Song Contest...then I found Dawsons pies and Ruebins :CHEERS:

Good luck to Chris, lad deserves the chance and importantly he knows he's got the full blessing and well wishes of the fans. I really don't see any point in trying to hold lads like him back, it serves well to try tempting other good youngsters how they can progress with us as a club, rather than sat wearing a Wigan/Warrington/Saints tracksuit for 4 years then being cast out when they dont get the chance to shine.

I think he'd be the first to admit he has things to work on over the next couple of years, but by that time he'll be pushing the prime age for a prop and will play for England alongside James Graham - of that I have no doubt whatsoever.
