3 warrington youngsters have arrived on 4 week loans according to t&A. seems an odd length off loan as they'll go back before season starts, unless its an initial loan with a view to extending it if they look useful.

I'd imagine that being the case. Clearly Wire were happy with the experience young Evans got at Odsal last year and are wanting to get a few more of their young lads bloodied by the Bulls

That or Warrington need to clear a bit of space on the salary cap for an incoming player

At the minute this seems slightly bizarre, and the article reads like we're bulking the squad up just for our friendly matches!
However I'm sure it will lead to something else, be that longer loan spells, player departures or both.

I think this is a very strange move.Im thinking is there more to this than meets the eye.Why would they come on loan for a month 6 weeks before season starts.Surely you should be looking to play your own squad and young players in upcoming friendlies.My initial guess is they will be here for longer than 4 weeks.Are these replacements for players who are gonna be leaving shortly

Are you the new Swinton?

Might just be that last time we took a wire youngster he came with an injury and didn't play for a few months

We're baby-sitting while the rest of the first team squad go to Australia.

Not a bad thing though, we get £20 and all the pop and crisps we can eat.

The word 'loan' makes it sound like we're paying for them, I seriously hope not!

Apparently so

I've heard that Jobe murphy might be on his way back to the club after the departure of Winterstein.

I reckon it's more a "trial"

With us likely losing players throughout the season Franny needs to bulk our squad. Permanent signings are out of the question so it has to be loans. However they still need to be smart loans. Franny and the board won't want to pay for a loan of a player then realise its not going to work out after a couple of games.. With money so tight he needs to get the signings spot on. He's probably just gone to all clubs who only have youngsters available. So he's taken these 3 young lads on loan for pre season. If they impress I've no doubt the deals will be extended. If they fail, we let them go back and aren't wasting what vital little money we have. I reckon Frannys been quite clever.

Seems a bit odd. I guess time will tell.
