Yes it seems to be a quota thing with Big Thomas. 


It could have been we had been eyeing up much earlier Yates and we kept Drinky another season. Duffy looked to be out of the door after 2023, then after Burgess got the job, he insisted Dufty played even though Burgess was still in Aus…so that left us capped up with Vaughany and Musgrove. 


I think we left him in limbo, then he took up a position at the Cowboys but in their feeder club. 


For sure he hasn’t played this season for Cowboys anyhow. 
Not sure he offers a great deal more than Musgrove or Max Wood can though other than depth.
I’d like him back, but is he worth a quota spot and would it be a significant improvement on Musgrove to unsettle the squad?

Alffi_7: Wires71: Alffi_7: Wires71: Ollie gone for the season. Another of our strange signings. He'll count 50% on next seasons cap ... https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/off-season-warrington-wolves-recruit-makes-championship-move-as-length-of-loan-revealed Yeah strange one, low risk obviously but still in my view takes a spot that Thewlis Jnr could have taken sooner. I guess 50% of not very much is still not very much - wont be having a great impact on the cap, and obviously on loan would count as zero if that was the route we went down. Thewlis Jnr does not have a contract for 2026 and beyond as yet according to his brother in the WG.  I would suggest that if Ollie does - Jake should! 100% agree - I imagine its in hand. Totally agree about Thewlis Jnr on the limited viewings I've had, he looks like a decent player in the making and one that isn't too far off at that, I must admit to being a bit confused about our Ollie's and our Alfie's reading the posts but not the article Alfie the winger I feel a bit sorry for but it's a tough sport and his performance in the cup game at Widnes would have been very hard for anyone to recover from

The last 2 former souths teammates burgess has signed have hardly been roaring successes. Maybe he should leave that tactic alone.

The Alfie signing was basically a Temu version of the Burrell signing and that was disastrous. Gimmicks. When will we ever learn?


I think it was done to pad out a very weak 2025 recruitment haul. 

Honestly signing Alfie doesn't bother me at all, He'll have cost us absolute peanuts and and only 50% on the cap. He has skills and a bit of size so if he works out happy days, if not it's nothing lost.
Jake Thewlis i do hope we re-sign as he looks pretty good, him and Josh at Centre and Wing together i think would be a good combo.

Alfie Johnson is on the same level as the amateur RL players I watch, he isn`t even good enough for a Championship team
