So, Now the season is over and we are champions for the next 12 months i am sure i wont get beasted by the Mods anymore for asking who is with us next year for definate and who we are looking at signing, Do we have any inside knowledge of who we are talking to ?.

Nat has put on widnes site that we have signed Matt Gardner, Is this to wind them up or do we know this to be true.

Also is said Fax and Widnes have offered near identical deals to Jim Gannon but obviously he's a current Widnes player last few years but has the history with Halifax and still lives in the area, so could go either way really!

I heard we were talking to Jim Gannon a while back but as yet still nothing done, I think if it was identical contracts then he would choose us to be fair becuase we are nearer and always there and there abouts at the top of the league. Long wait now until things get announced.

I would drive Gannon to Widnes everyday if he signs for you instead of us. Liability and would bring nothing to the team.

Jim Gannon brings nothing but penalties; This isn't the type of player we should be looking to bring in

Agreed, But i heard it none the less, I was told about it when we last played them and their was a little scuffle with Nash Barlow and a few Mutants !! lol.

I also hope not, we need some more Barlows !!!

Hang on... Gannon brings nothing but penalties but you need more Sam Barlows? Have you lot not stopped drinking since last night

MC & MH have more sense and more contacts in the game than to bring in Gannon, that would be a sign of desperation.

I agree, hope Martin Hall is putting some cash in too, between him and Calland they made some awesome signings, with Nash, Branno, Bannister, Holroyd coming back, Barlow.

Even if we cannot keep some of these boys, lets hope we can find some more like they did then, i am sure they are out there and clearly they know how to spot talent.

Would be dissapointed if Gannon was returning, never rated him. Pretty sure with MH/MC's contacts theres some promising youngsters at SL clubs that could be tempted with regular rugby.

Also hope Bannister pens a new contract as he was very good this season and will be even better next year.

Sorry but Gannon is probably the mist consistent prop in this division an helped carry our pack with Doran all season in the abscence of others! It is funny that once Widnes get players who finally give it back after being bullied off the park for years suddenly they are the dirty ones lol. Super professional too and hope we keep him for what he can pass onto the talented youngsters coming through!

Lol, bullied off the park, you forget where he started his career in the British game. He was always somebody you could count on to give at least one penalty for head high tackle per game. The only Widnes player I would have is Flynn and I suppose you can count Ropati.

You hardly have a squad of awe inspiring talent there do you, i mean if you can for a moment step of the i am widnes through and through bus and have a look through normal glasses not tinted ones, Widnes aint finished anywhere in recent years. What talent exactly do you think he could pass on to the youngsters ?. Head shots, Poor Tackles ?.
