Strong rumours suggest they are both Widnes bound, we have held back a little on recruitment recently are are hoping to announce a couple of big signings. Anybody heard anything from your end regards this? Penny was very good for us last year on loan and with Monas and Higham both on board for Warrington will Clarke be seeing much action?

That would fit in with [ithe[/i rumour

Seems to be gathering a bit of momentum recently, Clarke has been offered a deal for player/assistant coach (3 year deal) along with Cullen and Stuart Wilkinson and by all accounts Penny doesnt fit at Warrington but is loved at Widnes.

Will also free up some cap space for you to sign someone?

Wages prob just cover new signings and also likely new improved deals for new internationals and youngsters coming through!

Can only guess if signed Clarke would possibly play 13?

Would be delighted to get KP back as he lit up the club on and off the pitch!

Cant see Smith letting him go tbh, i don't think he will figure as hooker next season more a back rower role

i think that we should have enough cover for the back row next season if Clarke decides to take Widnes up on their offer.
At last count ( and I may have missed some )

Solomona
Westwood
L Anderson
v Anderson
Harrison
Grix
McCarthy
Mitchell
Blythe

Has there actually been an offer or is it another Natters/Ray Chicken load of lies?

Hey Laa, im not making up Clarkey rumours. I merely suggested that he no longer fits in at warrington and its probably in everyones best interests if he goes to pastures new.

Especially if it helps us sign a certain ginger haired player from one of our near neighbours

Don't you ever get sick of talking rubbish? You're now sinking almost as low as Eric Cartman is a Saint. Have you seen any more SL stars looking at houses in Stockton Heath?

Just one more thing, don't call me Laaaa. You don't know me and I am not a Scouser.

You need to my friend

I'd be very, very surprised to see Penny go. Especially if we're lead to believe that we won't see Hicks again, add this to Carney retiring [it seems] we'd only be left with Riley, King & Penny with any SL experience.

Penny would like to go back to Widnes but on dual contract. He's got too much potential for Warrington to let him go completely.

Wonder if TS would give Rhys Evans a chance yet? He did play for Wales in the winter and although he has no experience in SL, Smith could well give him the chance to earn some.
