Why would Horne walk a way for a contract?

The coaching staff have already said he'll be our fb next season.

Now he would improve Widnes.

But can anybody say whatever he could bring us would take us to where we want to be and challenging for trophy's? Or would he be just better than we have? these are two different objectives.

Seen the contracts, have you?

It mu st just seem crazy to me because im still a newby

He's better than Russell.

There are hardly any good English players available due to a heavy reliance on overseas players and a lack of it on youth.

The standard of the full league will drop, if it already hasn't, until we bring the juniors up to a better standard.

wigan and warrington will shiit themselves when those signings are announced. No longer will a top 8 finish be a measure of success

When I first joined this forum I put that i'd heard horny was retiring at the end of season to go into coaching , but it was just a rumour

Over on the Saints rumours thread, St Pete who seems to be their 'man in the know' has mentioned Huddersfield are back in for Tickle.

It is a rumour thread isnt it ? Or do you have to put the word rumour in just to remind people ?

watts's best games for rovers have all been in the back row, it was those performances at 13 that got him into the national squad. he's been disappointing when playing in his "proper" position with low go forward figures and constant penalties. As you say Wattsy does have a lot of potential but then again so did Paul King at Hull, I think a lot of us can see him going the same way with his attitude to life and his career.

Rovers losing such a potentially talented young player would normally have people wailing and gnashing teeth, the fact that the most people are showing is mild disappointment at best speaks volumes really.

Just what I think , his body's shot and maybe they've agreed a pay off or maybe on the coaching staff . If he's our full back next season why have we enquired about McDonnell and Kearney . Think what gentle meant was he would be if we can't get no one .

Do you ever have anything possitive to say or are you just a constant mardy .
You cant have a team of super stars unless youve got either bags of cash and break the cap or like wigan bring brilliant youth through the system and we have got a few months left to bring in some big name pivots

You was making a statement.

It it was a rumour why not just say "Slater, Chase, Gallen all done deals"?

I'm positive when there's something to be positiive about. You probably haven't been around that long though.

Are you suggesting we should put up with averageness then because we haven't got a great youth system and don't have "bags of cash"?

He's averaging 1 penalty a game.

You'll have to provide me with the stats, as the super league website is .
