Harrison never was home grown, that's a fallacy. He was a player that had a decent pedigree, and a good work ethic that needed some rough edges knocking off. Warrington have done that with him so well done them. The only point about Harrison is that he would be better than everyone we have except Mik, and that's a statement of where our group of props are at the moment.
We need to fix that first, then every other player on the team will look better.
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

I'm told that he had the changing room door lowered to five feet 10 inches as part of his ruthless and heightest war on beanpoles. Furthermore, I'm reliably informed that he personally vetoed the signing of young Ellery and drove him to Odsal himself. In a further twist, turns out he also overruled our scouts on Jason Robinson. Didn’t like shorties either. The man was a monster.

It seems like Arthur is going for a hard reboot this off season. That has to be a good thing regardless of comings and goings. The last two off seasons we've heard all about how much the players were enjoying things, and how well they've all bonded etc. I for one took with a pinch of salt the fact that Walters said the off season with Wigan was much harder, but from the sounds of it that was probably right, but won't be this year....
I still wouldn't be surprised if a couple more go. I don't think training will fix Sangare's lack of aggression or Goudemand's lack of size. Maybe Sangare might stay but if so he'd have to be some way outside the first choice 17 if we're going to make waves next year.

You’re blaming Rohan Smith for ‘letting him go’?
Yes and FYI he's Leeds pedigree unless you know different it would be appreciated if you could fill me in on the details..... as of the time he was at Leeds I spoke to him regarding his future.
