www.runcornandwidnesweeklynews.c ... 8-24875995

Sounds reasonable.. dispels the rumour about James Webster and makes the club's stance on Iain Morrison fairly clear.

If you want him, come and get him but have your wallets ready.

Webbo is still under contract so if Hull want him as assitant coach then again a fee would have to be paid. Webster is happy at Widnes irrelvant of what poopsters say.

“We used 33 players in total last season and many of them were not making a contribution and have now left."

One thing i dont get is this statement.

“We’re getting our own house by building a settled squad of 20, which can then benefit later down the line by us recruiting quality young players from neighbouring Super League clubs like St Helens, Wigan and Warrington.”

So is he saying he's happy with what he's got now and the rest will only be loan players? if so that is a little worrying as were short in quite a few positions. Another thing i dont get is the current first team squad stands at 22!

WTF can someone clear this up for me?

This as well"Cullen suggested his squad is unlikely to be complete until the start of the season due to the new week-by-week dual-registration system.
Cullen saw his side torn apart last season, when the influential Pickersgill, Kevin Penney and Craig Hall were all recalled by Warrington and he is keen to avoid such a situation occurring again."
[/i

Why will the [i'week-by-week dual-registration system'[/i mean that recruitment is unlikely to be complete until the start of the season?

What possible difference would it make, and how will it prevent the side being torn apart and players being recalled as they were this season?

As the old song goes. There are more questions than answers. And the more I find out the less I know.

Just seems like poor journalism to me. The interviewer just seems to have asked a couple of questions and wrote down the cryptic replies without further questioning.

He does. But we need to fully understand how the dual-registration system works in order to understand the situation. This is the question the interviewer should have asked.

Walking may be the safest policy - will reduce the risk of injury to those three in the collision.
