Welcome on board Balf Viking (about time you caught with technology ) & thanks for your support.

It looks as though J20 has confirmed what I was told.

IMO we will see perhaps 1 or 2 more signed from SL (after SM) then between 3 & 4 from down under, I do hope my hunch is right because I reckon at least 1 antipodean will be a big name if I am reading SOC correctly, the guy doesn't do losing.

IMO his goal will be a top ten finish next year meaning we can attract higer profile players in 2013, resulting in a top eight finish attracting better signing again for 2014 with the aim of top 6 when the SL franchise comes around again. Moving our franchise grade from C to B to ensure we stay in SL for the next franchise period, when SOC will want our club to be challenging for honours.

I can't thank the guy enough for what he has done for Widnes

You hit the nail on the head there mate.Purdham,Senior, or Gleeson and a prop should be the next signings. On 18th Man it shows players who are off contract, but i do not know how good they are though.Shaun Berrigan have heard of though.Maybe Twitter man can update me.

Is he not retiring? He certainly seems set to move back to Cumbria..

He initially said was returning to Cumbria but I'm sure I saw a quote from h saying he was thinking about playing SL but closer to home for another year or so.
