got a couple of mates in Oz, neither of whom are even into rugby league but have heard mention from several of their aussie mates we have signed four 'High profile' aussies (contracts dependent upon gaining a place in superleague of course), the only name mentioned is Darren Lockyer, but according to the grape vine there are another 3.
Also heard the same story from another two people here in the UK who are independent sources, dont live anywhere near each other, dont share any people in common etc etc.
may i add that both my sources on the UK are usually right about these things.
8 days is too long!!!!!! arrrrrrggggghhhhhhh! i need to know!

Various mutterings around


Gareth Ellis
Darren lockyer
Adam Blair

Gareth Ellis? I can't see him coming back to SL at his stage in his career, he's in the form of his life. Wages are higher in the NRL due the higher Salary Cap so I can't see SOC's money bringing any big names over who are still at their peak. More likely to be somebody who is coming to the end of their NRL career and fancies a move to SL. That still gives some brilliant players to choose from though such as Lockyer etc who have been mentioned. I am genuinely really curious/excited to see who you will pick up when you get the nod.

You think there's any truth in these mutterings though?

All the interest seems down under in regards to recruitment for SL I wonder if there's any English based personnel who might jump ship to the Vikings?

Adam Blair will not be signing for us, he was offered a contract though.

well, its clearly his loss. humppff!

Crap anyway

No doubts a house in upton rocks is on the cards.

That's standard in any contract at Widnes ain't it?

Don't be trampling over the yoof whilst you clammer for all these overseas players. They helped get you into SL.

All hail the yoof.

Ellis, no chance, too good a set up where he is.
Lockyer. A good buy if you can get him, if only for his name.
Blair. A maybe, but my feeling is that he wouldn't want to come.
