I totally agree mate.

Moore must think he's a cat!

Falling from grace at the basement club and landing a contract with the current leaders.

Well this board seems to be split 50/50 on this one, question is , just how many games will Moore actually play in?, Lunty has not played much so will we really miss him?, LUNTY was a good asset but obviously Browny & Baloo seem to think he is dispensible so he`s gone , the jury will have to wait and see what Moore does on or off the pitch before they hang draw & quarter him on here , but then again . I just hope this move doesn`t throw a spanner in our well oiled machine and everyone can get along nicely.

Heard he's only coming to serve the soup

Let's be honest - we aren't going to see him for a few weeks, until the coaches get him to the fitness levels expected for Giants players, by which time this will all have blown over, Lunty will be setting the Stobart alight, Gregg Eden and Robbo will be in the England set up and Broughy will have signed for another 5 years. Grrrreat.

Moore would give away about two per game for us, quite often at really important times too. The missed tackles may be symptomatic of Widnes though. He did miss the occasional tackle when at Saints but generally speaking he works his butt off in defence and puts in some humdingers sometimes. He can also pass spectacularly well (and spectacularly badly) and he can kick in play as well, although he has not been called upon to do that much. He had a good speed of pass when he was with us but his choice of pass was not always right, but that's to be expected really as nobody is perfect.

On the field his problem really is (a) giving away penalties, and (b) consistency. But overall the real problem is the off-field stuff. He could let the team, club and fans down, just as he did at Saints in spite of getting (yet another) chance.

Perhaps that's been part of the problem, it can't be easy for a talented player with an England call up to handle getting tonked every week. Or to sit and watch as roby plays 80 mins. He'll move to hudds with his young lady away from bad influences amongst mates who provide a good example with coaches who know him and how to handle him. If he messes up Thewlis will have him out -no fear!

i do really see this as a pointless signing if his not gonna play straight away for the level of fitness then whats he gonna have 2 games if that before tommy lee is back. fooey at hooker would do me fine wouldnt have to change owt thats going perfect atm and no chance of any distruptions.

dont want him taking mason astray again !!

Only the people who have made this decision can explain it i guess, they wont so we will just have to accept it and trust them.

I started this post last Thursday with no inside info. I just knew we would go for him for some reason.

All we can do now is wait and see. I hope he is a marvel(I won't hold my breath though)

Nope - none at all ! I was stating that I was on a similar vein as BG
You didnt agree with my view --no probs !
Its a discussion forum and I aint out to preach or convert anyone ! - just express my views on topics (thats what this board is for I believe)

You know more than the "average" fan --your good fortune !
But I believe your opinion of my "eyesight" or assessment of the current situation to be quite clearly the first stone thrown ? Or perhaps I`m mistaken?
Cant remember me mentioning you in any way prior to that?

As a NEW? poster please have the courtesy not to do an "Argentina" on others by starting a spat and then bestowing the blame on the other party and perhaps we`ll get on just fine .
Done!

keefie, you could see him line up vs bradford

Crackerjack, maybe you could point out where I told YOU to go to specsavers? and if you would kindly amend your post to not put words into my mouth so to speak, it would be appreciated

and as a NEW poster, thank you for the welcome

GiantsMassive - welcome to the board

Agreed all are welcome and we are all friends here (I hope)

Friends -yes !
All of same mind-- no ! But hey -- thats life

Ive no problem whatsoever with that

But for the avoidance of doubt -and so as not to cause any upset by misconstruing a reply to my initial post replying to BG..............

Im with you two -- I too welcome NEW posters - the more the merrier .

So a big welcome to all -whatever their allegiance, creed, colour, or board name.
Looking forward to some lively discussion and some new friends

Yep - didn't take long.

Get him on here then !!

Yet another new poster to welcome aboard !!

If i was brown ( which contrary to popular views I am not ) I would suggest they insist Moore stops twittering. He gets winded up and pulled in bad misquoting too easily. Plus his vocabulary is too colourful for a public figure.
I think silence is golden for him on the public airways - and he is welcome on here anytime under a pseudonym to view his opiions.

Knowing Thewlis Moore will have been in his office first thing this morning. He's already spoken to one or two about what is said on twitter in the past.

the club has encouraged twitter, it's a link between fans and players, making them more accessible

I hope so cos Moore is a proper twit on twitter.

Ponner, think you misspelt a word there.

I was being polite

It has-but Thewlis has been very clear about what players shouldn't tweet.

You guy's really should be paying more attention to this also www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=8053
