| Quote Bull Mania="Bull Mania"Gelling on a reported £80k-£100k. As good a player as he is and the brilliant off field stuff we don't need him. Particualrly in the year we're competing with Toronto.. It just be a waste of money as we can't compete with them this year.
The problem Widnes have is when the vultures inevitably start picking off their players (even if they chose not to, Widn we are comes will have to get rid of some as whoever takes over surely cant afford some of those big names) they already have a small squad as it is and could be left with kids. Then they fans have to endure them getting beaten up every week and sit and watch inevitable relegation. It's scary how much of a similar scenario it i s to our own.'"
You've got it all wrong mate. We are competing with them.
And we are competing with five or six other side's for top 5. It's about getting into position, and anything happens over a game. Ask Toronto.
Would Gelling improve the squad and help us get there?
Yes I would argue.
Would he give us an edge in big games?
Again I would argue yes. |

I reckon bigger fish than us will be in touch with Gelling.
A lot depends on if they actually do go into Admin. If they do the administrator will need to cut losses so that's sacking of surplus staff. It could mean cutting of non surplus staff too as Mick Potter found out. Players will most probably be told that if they can get deals elsewhere then they should. Overseas players will probably get a dispensation to be off quota as Sammut did when he left us. I expect Gelling to end up at Cas or Catalans if there's no imminent buyer for Widnes.

| Quote Bulls4Champs="Bulls4Champs"It's right for us to bring in players that improve the squad. If he can come at the right price then we absolutely should raid them.
They don't have to be admin either. If they need money or need to reduce costs then it's simple economics.'"
Id love Tangata, Leuluai or Cahill |

We'd have to offload a centre ourselves if we brought Gelling in - I can't see it happening.

Gelling will be snapped up by Catalans or Toronto
They've got some good youngsters like Ashall-Bott and Ince, but they'll probably end up at Saints or Wigan (and then farmed out on Dual-Reg for the season)
We [imight[/i be in with a shout for people like Cahill or Tangata - but do we really need / want them right now?

News coming out of Widnes from Gareth Walker on Twitter:
Insolvency company O'Hara's are hosting a press conference with performance director Phil Finney. Peter O'Hara says: "The club has simply run out of money. We have secured the wages for this month but other than that there are no funds whatsoever."
Insurance remains the reason for Widnes not being able to play at the moment, and unless investors come forward that will not change. The upcoming Super League parachute payment may not be released to the club as well.

I get the feeling that JK still isn't happy with his forwards - he won't have been pleased with the damage Sheffield did to us down the middle. |

Here we go again. Another club with a proud heritage, let down by management.

Dreadful for Widnes players, staff and supporters. They have been fierce opponents in the past. I am 60 so have seen some epic matches even from the Northern days. If we pick up some talent from it so be it. The players will need employment.
