we're not talking about widnes trying to get every other club to take over their players contracts a la davies and the hulme brothers now.

this is the big leagues mate, none of this namby pamby buy a ticket to roide mickey mouse competition lark.

He is in great form this year and is really making the headlines and i hope he keeps it up. However, we have seen others do the same. Next season will be more telling.

Last year Kirk Yeaman was a world beater, this year he has failed to live up to that reputation.

As they say, you are only as good as your last game (unless you're nobby and picking the Gb team)

Correctamundo. He is being out on a pedestal after six games. Mugwump said the same thing, unfortunately I was too short sighted to see the point he was making.

If we are still talking about him in the same terms next season, then we may have a genuine prospect, unlike a potential one.

New 4 year deal signed, contracted till 2011 now. Good move on the clubs part to get him signed quickly. Hope he continues with his development in a positive way.

I've heard that he's down for a CBE in the next round of honours.

Good luck to the lad, he obviuosly enjoys palying the game and am sure he will improve. Good for the game and could raise the games profile a bit.

his forehead looks like a ballbag on your avatar!!

If he played for St Helens or Wigan then yes he probably would.

How many St Helens players do you know that have received such honours?

I think our golden boy may be the recipient of alot of bombs from Mr Cooke on sunday, hopefully he deals with them well, he is gonna have a bad game sooner or later.

Hopefully it comes when we've cemented a play off spot. Buit he has to have a bad game sooner or later - some of us see that - most do not!!!

That Francis Meli is a good prospect, his defence is rubbish though, especially under the high ball
