NEW signing Dom Crosby says the competition in the Wolves front row can only be a good thing for the club and will spur him on to become a better player.

The 25-year-old, who joins the club from Wigan on a two-year-deal, adds to Tony Smith’s powerful arsenal of props that already includes skipper Chris Hill and Fiji international Ashton Sims.

Fellow new additions Mike Cooper and Andre Savelio join that list, as do Ben Westwood, George King and Ben Harrison, and Crosby says he can learn from being in such esteemed company.

“Chris Hill is one of the best props in the world and Ashton Sims has so much experience. I’m looking forward to working with those guys,” he said.

“If you add the likes of Mike Cooper and myself to that, it obviously creates a lot of competition for places.

“The competition is something I thrive off though and I think it will bring out the best in me.

“At the same time, there’s a lot I can learn from being on the same pitch as the other props and I’m looking forward to doing that.”

Crosby came through the academy at Wigan and went on to make 102 first-grade appearances for the Warriors, scoring seven tries.

He now joins best friend Jack Hughes at The Wire and he admits he can’t wait to play with him again.

“Jack and I go way back. He was best man at my wedding and I was best man at his,” he said.

“We played together for a few years at under 20 level and won a lot of trophies in that side.

“It will be a bit different for me being with new teammates as all I’ve ever known is Wigan, so having Jack and others that I’m mates with here will help.

“I can’t wait to rip in now and prove myself to my new teammates.”

Renowned for his work in defence as well as his strong ball-carrying skills, Crosby won two Super League titles with his hometown club, including last season in which they defeated his new side in the Grand Final on October 8.

He is aiming to bring that winning feeling to Wolves and says they are well-equipped to challenge on all three fronts again.

“The signings we have made are really strong so there’s no reason why the treble should be out of reach,” he said.

“The club challenged for all three trophies last year and we’re looking in good shape to do it again.

“That’s my focus now. Obviously I’ll always remember the trophies I won with Wigan but now I want to help Warrington do the same.”

Upon his signing, Wolves head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith hailed Crosby’s work-rate and the front-rower says that is the least Wire fans can expect.

He is yet to be capped by England, but says he is now in the best place to push for international selection.

“I just want to keep improving week in week out and I think Tony is the man to get that from me,” he said.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about him and he’s proven himself as a coach with the trophies he’s won and the player’s he’s brought through.

“Everyone dreams of playing for their country and that’s something I want to push for now.

“I feel I’m in the best place and under the best coach to do that now but my main focus is doing well and winning trophies for Warrington.”
