I agree it good as banter and i would love widnes to win the league.We can do it depending how the youth players develop aswell.I think grady,houghton and flynn be better players this year, after last years experience.Mullaley is a very big lad and hope he comes a revelation.Thompson another unknown, but got rave reviews at blackpool, unlike josh simm.With 2 more dual contract players, i am confident we will be up their.I look forward to the season and all the best to everyone in the league.May the best team win.Widnes Vikings.

No upset here bud. Merry Christmas.

Not really. Water off a ducks back. I really don't care, rugby's just a game.

Yeah I am much happier about how the setup looks now. In the past we have bought in bulk if you like and announced numerous signings that on paper seemed to be put us way ahead. And we all know that never really worked out. This year has been a slower, painful at times, affair for us and it has been other teams that have took the spotlight in that sense. And more power to them for doing so. I think Dean will prove quality, when available of course, and I think the pack now has the power and punch that it had when we played our best last year. Another couple to come as you say and we are starting to look very tidy. We can barter on about off field pros and cons all we like without any of us really knowing all the ins and outs and politics. The only thing we can really judge is on the field and not only hasnt that started yet, but it will prove very interesting when it does.

A very refreshing attitude to have there Dors. Always nice to see.
