yeah bring it on. you might think you have a good squad, you aint seen nothing till you see Big Frank and his boys coming at you,

prepare to be rumbled by Stanley, Makailli, Frank and Said you have been warned.

with Penky( just turned down a super league club to stay at fax) Gleeson, Beswick, Black and Branighan playing off the back of that.

with John Goddard and Rob Worrincey forming one of the deadlies centre and wing partnerships in the league.

bring on the games between the 2 sides they should be crackers.

well i would say pretty even actually that. Goddard has proven himself at this level with KR and has a lot to improve on this season from the last, Harrison good player big powerful good player, Worricney improved towards the end of the season, Worrincey and Goddard if given the chance they can share a very productive try scoring partnership.

i would say pretty even those 2 pairings when both on form.

Five members of the 2009 'Dream Team' signed up (so far). As well as coach of the year.

And there are more to come. None of those 'players for hire' either. They will be Barrow players.

you got a a good squad for next year, some very competitive teams next season i can only see Fax, Widnes and Barrow and maybe even Leigh challenging for the league maybe Leigh will finish 4th.

i beleive the top 3 though will be Fax, Widnes and Barrow not in tha order but i beleive they will be the top 3. the top 6 though is wide open for anyone to get in.

What are these 'players for hire' you speak of?

I think that would be dual signings

Is this troll the widnes board?I do not give a damn who other teams have signed like some of the trolls here.All i care is that we will be one of the best sides in the league.Not been favourites will do me fine as no expectancy.We will have a bigger support now we are playing on sundays so bring on anyone.

Oh I see now, it was a poor attempt at denigrating our potential use of our dual reg options...

Still don't understand how these would be 'players for hire'.....

In any case we've a squad of around 24 'Widnes players'. Several of which are 'Widnes products'.... How many 'Barrow products' can SRC boast of?

Awww bless, why should we ignore quality players from Wigan/Wire/Saints if they're on our doorstep? a 24 man squad already signed and we will probably add another 3 on dual contracts. Overall once they're added we will be strong in every position and we have some of the most exciting youngsters around having beat away Super League teams for them (Paddy Flynn/Ben Kavanagh)

What do you mean by products ??

Home Grown players.

Do Worrincey and Goddard play on the right side ?

At the moment it look's like 9/10 home grown players will be named in are squad for next year.

Coolio

you asked......

I asked what?

for some home grown

It was actually your bro.

i was merely filling the Barrowman on the meaning of the word 'products'

How many of those will see regular first team action though?

Gary Broadbent
Liam Harrison
James Nixon
Liam Campbell
Brett McDermott
Nathan Mossop
Chris Larkin


Jamie Butler ?
Nick Beach ?
Ruairi McGoff ?

I think Dave was refering youngsters mate rather than old crocks like McDermott and Broadbent.

How can Broadbent be classed as a youngster lol....?

How many of those are actually products of your youth system?
