2nd that.

Paterson staying at fax, your grand final winnings are coming in handy.

Source? Will be delighted if true!

I put a thread up last year, I'll do the same this if people want, i'll sort it out in the morning.

Thread stickied.

Cheers TS, I've got most of the championship sides websites in my bookmarks, so i'll run through them tommorow and see what i can find, all help from others would be appreciated though, If we all work together then it can be quite a good list to see at a glance who is where,

Are they ever. Lets just say one of our directors was a very worried man in the week leading up to the final. Needless to say he has been walking round with a smile on his face since it though.

I posted the same thing earlier in the day about Patterson;

We certainly don't lose our sense of humour, but our sarcasm does get a bit darker and deeper.

Anyway enough of the in fighting, surely there's some widnes fan to pick on. From what I've heard, the money we saved by cancelling a certain contract would pay for half a reserve team.

Our chairman stated that the prize money wouldn't affect next years playing budget, so the prize money has prob helped this seasons cash-flow and allowed us not to cut next years budget.
With regard to Paterson he was on a 2 year contract and the lure of playing for the Champions is a bigger draw than playing for Widnes.
Being champions maybe brings players into our reach that maybe weren't before, and players that were looking at moving on feel it's now the place to be.

I see we are now in the season of
1)My mate who's friend is best mates with someone who drinks with someone who is connected to the club, told us that we have signed ?
2)I saw ? In Halifax/Widnes etc....
3)I've heard a rumour and you won't be disappointed, but give no names.
4)I heard this off a bloke and he's usually a reliable source.

Isn't the off season fun!!!!

Were we even looking at Paterson? It was mentioned on out board but then someone said from an 'insured' club not interested and they think we have better wingers anyway'!

They must have a sense of humour then

Whom do you refer to with the above ?.

There is VikingMan and J20, they are always trolling the pages, very defensive over the very unimpressive team they follow
