Quote ="underthesticks"Cannot believe a club of your standing is signing Coyle. If your recruitment was half as good as your gates etc, you'd walk this league. Coyle is a very average player and not worthy of pulling on the Widnes shirt. Duffy is twice as good. I cannot understand why you continue to sign such ordinary players. We all know about the supposed box ticking etc,but there is surely nothing better as a fan than actually winning the league. With a bit more brain when it comes to recruitment, you would surely bog this league, rather than finishing 6th, 4th etc. I cannot believe a club like yours does not really ever look like winning the league these days. It is sad that you continue to recruit poorly and waste your undoubted potential'"
In the year we finished 6th, I recall we'd only just reformed as a business and recruited very late, with a 9 point deduction. This season we've won the NR cup after our previous coach recruited a very unbalanced squad.
Thomas Coyle with the right training and conditioning will be a very good addition to the squad and with several more signings to come, I'd wait before passing judgement. This will be the first team built by Paul Cullen and I've no doubt will be good enough to compete at the top.
