Great players you have for the future exciting times a head for wolves ,hope they get the chance at some time soon as for Jordan Burke my cousins son England schoolboys fullback , i believe been under 20s captain for last few years very safe under the high ball , great tactical player great hands and temperament and if im correct played more 20s games than any other player in the current team . A player that was signed for £15,000 from Bradford Bulls 2yrs ago was the next big thing , couldnt take his shirt , and i believe has been released this year , so any player can have a bad game and thinking the head coach must like him to still be there !!! Unfortunately with the new RL rules over 20s players must go on loan and develop at non super league clubs

Didn't realise we had payed so much for him, so thanks for the info. I think a lot of people were surprised when he left. However, I thought James Mendeika was the U20 captain (until his bad elbow injury) ?
Looking through the NW Crusaders team, there seemed to be a few from Widnes. Who would you rate from your current crop of youngsters at U18 and 20 ?

I think Jack Owens is a great young talent with a great future , Alex gerrard up and coming prop rough tough , Josh Crawley great prop second row big strong think he was at wolves , under 18s Lewis hume hooker hard working player , john rigby hard and tough forward ... unlike wolves were still finding our feet in this division but had some good results and its about building for the future Id like to see Liam hulme down here belive hes been released hes a tough cookie ,see hes been on loan to scorpians and young Bobby goulding if you have to many well have them I Believe jordan was voted captain by fellow players a few years ago , Dont think im a Troll but love reading topics and discussions on your forum think my Beloved clubs gone into Hibernation till next year

James Medieka is the U20s captain. You are right about every other aspect of Jordan Burke's game; solid under the high ball, cracking one-on-one defender and pretty pacy too.
I do like the look of Jack Owens, I saw play against the Australians end of last year, he had a great game.

Bobby Goulding has signed for Wakefield and Liam Hulme for Swinton. I am surprised that Widnes have not signed more players for next year - unless they have simply not announced it yet.

Gutted !!we cant even attract former players sons to the club that says it all Think we will struggle again next year we need strength in depth , I personally see more behind the Paul Cullen moving on senario too difficult if you cant attract players , Im for sure not going to be season ticket holder next year unless i can see an improvement in player quality .
