A few whispers suggesting this could happen after his departure from Scorpions.

Anybody else heard this? It will hardly be the answer to Widnes problems though will it.

Jamie Rooney to Widnes isn't happening!

Rooney had a flirt with the top flight in around 2007 but didn't have the heart. Been sliding downwards ever since.

I thought he did alright at Wakey was quite surprised he moved up to Whitehaven. What has happened with his son? I can't remember what exactly was wrong with him but I remember he was needing treatment in another country for treatment (Poland i think).

He had 2 good seasons with us and was a fans favorite whilst here, also one of a very few recent wakey players to gain international caps whilst still playing for wakey.
Unfortunately his career has spiralled downwards since leaving us.
With regards to his son I think over £50k was raised for treatment for his cerebal palsy.

Seems another waste of a talent due to habits off the field, RL seems to create a number of these cases

Rooney in SL - I bet every other side hopes its true!!
