This squad is for next year. We will be playing Championship rugby next year.

Thank you for your expert advice. I mean if were talking about fighting off the bottom who better to ask then a Leyther



People in glass what now?

You plum

Were still in the championship for another year, we will see around 18-20 players come in for Super League.

Lads I think he means Championship! If you read the Leigh board they are pretty certain we'll finish at the bottom... and I aint too sure why tbh!

I think it's just a case of they did but trying to forget that by saying Widnes 'WILL'. Bit pathetic if you ask me, we have been poor at best this season yet still finished 5th, things can onlt get better? Add 100k cap players playing for a SL contract....

Where will Leigh go with no chnace of SL now and one season of big spending completed as an improvement but failure non the less!

Dont rise to the Leythers they know naff all.


Whispers around the Hough Green area is that Paul Johnson will be signing.

Brought him up on TIW with little reaction but he's s very good player played half games thus season for Wakey... Not sure if missed start or end? Guess he still lives in NW area too? Would cover Dorans loss no doubt !

i hear talk of several cracking signings for next season yet to be announced.if only a few of them turn out to be true we will still be looking very good for next year. but for now i will not name names, dont want to get hopes up or discover that my source is talking balls and i turn out to be wrong.

Come on a few clues wouldn't go amiss

! Well keep them quiet honest

Sonny Bill was seen eating hamburgers with Tez in a seedy establishment in Widnes town centre.

The man in my avatar will hopefully be signed for Super Dooper League.

Legend.

I'm sure I saw Johnathan Thurston looking for houses in Stewards Avenue t'other day. It was the same day I was stopped by Jamal Idris and asked about the best big shop experience in the town. I told him clearly Asda but I've just remembered if he has a family he could be making massive savings by buying the multi buy offers in Morrissons. I hope I haven't put him off signing for us!

I thought Gareth Haggerty had signed a two year deal when he signed for us.

No 1 yr deal mate.Anyway squad strengthing up now.Sign Ropati and a big prop the squad will start to look decent.

Johnson,Ropati,Donlan,Bracek, and Ropati we will have a decent squad.Craven added and with a few more youngsters pushing for a place.

Donlan? no way and the fact that he will be at Leigh next year.

Is Tangis brother any good?

Mate heard a rumour of Donlan coming.I hope not but not a bad player.

Just realised posted twice mate.Anyway looking forward to next year already.

this very evening i was drunkenly chatting to a mate saying a year from now we would be signing both those guys

great minds think alike.

I actually like James Ford but I see no future for him here.

This team would be promising, though may take a while to develop!

1 Craven / new signing (is he going to play at 1 or half-back?)
2 - Flynn
3 - Tyrer
4 - New signing / Ford
5 - Gaskell
Halves - Thackeray and I'anson. Gore / Craven to get blooded in. Perhaps have a half on the bench and shove I'anson into the back row.
8 - Heckenburg
9 - New signing
10 - Pickersgill
11 - Allen (C)
12 - Kavanagh
13 - Gerrard (VC)

14 - Netherton (though I think it's likely he'll start with Coyle off the bench)
15 - Leuleuai
16 - K Haggerty
17 - New signing ( prop)

Looking ok the team if we buy a decent prop, and Ropati rather than Ford.Coyle is a better hooker than Netherton unless he pulls his finger out.I,Anson can also play loose forward, so we may still sign another halfback.But with the youngsters such as Craven,Gore,Alex Brown,Alex Gerrard, and Tom Kelly, we will have a decent squad.Rumours are that Bracek is coming to Widnes.

Brilliant! I love smellies, we know 'naff all' then you lot go on about signing Donlan? I'm a big fan of irony.

About time, you've been appalling for 3 years. Only full time squad in the league and only finished 5th. Huge underachievers and don't really deserve SL. Sport should be about on the pitch!!

1/ were not full time!
2/ for the final time on here... We didn't make the P&R rules so whinge to those who did!

I can not understand idiots like you to be honest.We have been to two Northern Rail finals in 3yrs and 5th is our worst postion.That was not bad considering lots of injuries, and bringing youth through to be given a chance.The u18s won the league against Superleague teams, so not that bad of a season.You also forget we have the same cap as everyone else in the Championship, so it is about buying the right players.I am sure if was winning on the pitch matters then we would smash this league.So jog on and bore someone else who cares.
