nothing like an over the hill Australian to bring the fans in.... or so you hope.

Just like the established Penny, Riley, Blythe, McCarthy and Mitchell, oh hang on....

Widnes' situation is vastly different to that of Warringtons, how many of the 40,000 Wembley daytrippers you squeezing into the Tesco dome?

Blythe - Same guy who came on to help change the game and beat Saints?

Riley - Same bloke who was our top try scorer last season but can't get a game because our backline is so damn good.

Penny - That former dream team player until he lost his speed also had you lot getting wet when on loan.

Hows life after we sent you down? looking forward to next season back with the big boys?

Define recent?

You forgot McCarthy and Mitchell, anyway yeah looking forward to it.

p.s Does 2 trophies in 30 odd years make you a big boy?

jealousy is a terrible thing.

I think they simply empthasise the point, these lads come in, do a good job and then get shunted the 2nd some Aussie wants to head over (for whatever reason) not the only ones but how does the game over here progress when Riley for example goes from potential England international to shoved out on loan?

18 months ago. Given there's been about 4 or 5 test matches for Australia since then I'd say that's pretty recent.

McCarthy and Mitchell find it hard to break into a team which is top of the league, their time will come.

Oh and pleaseeeeeeeee don't try to say we aint a big team you will just look even more stupid.

I know, you might be World Club Champions one day don't worry.

Think you will find some young Welsh lad called Williams has taken Rileys place.

When Waterhouse is a direct replacement (and improvement) for Louis Anderson then not sure what your point is. Riley was replaced in the pecking order by Rhys Williams (and Rhys Evans) both products of the Warrington youth setup.

Why replace Anderson with an ageing Australian when you could give Blythe/McCarthy/Mitchell/Cooper/B.Evans/Laithwaite a chance is the point.

why not.
