Back the bid - not back it until the going gets tough. WTID:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40663.png



I know he was classified as a one trick pony but at least attacked the line and more times than not produced something. I fear the worst for this season.

If your going to have one trick then scoring match winning tries out of nothing isn't a bad one certainly

I think some are confusing 'Thackeray will not be our SL stand off' with the truth that is 'Thackeray won't be playing again for Widnes even in Champ!'

Makes you wonder if the club has agreed terms with some big names,be it from the southern hemisphere or elsewhere for SL next year to make them start a clear-out at this stage,I sincerely hope so or we could end up scrabbling around for decent players in the close season. icon_confused.gif

Well i have looked at it as a positive, as gives them a chance to look elsewhere for a job than be hanging on wondering?We are looking at bigger players than Thackeray, and Grant Gore,Craven, and Gilmore are top youngsters at halfback.I can see Craven at Standoff and Hulme at Fullback when fit. icon_wink.gif

I'm sure your right about these youngsters OFFTHECUFF but do you think they'll be ready to mix it with the SL players by next season?

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

James Ford looked out of his depth when he played for Cas in superleague, and Thackary didn't look superleague standard either, though he may have matured into a better player than when he played for us.

Which is why they are,or rather were,with a Championship club in Widnes.Not many people are saying that Ford,Netherton Thackray and Gerrard are SL standard,although I think Thacks deserved an opportunity to play alongside a decent pack and srum half.This is about these players carrying the can for atrocious results due to poor recruitment and coaching, under the guise of 'assesment phase one'.In my opinion.

Hey how will we know unless give them a chance and experience?Richard Myler i watched in the academy and now look how he is playing in Superleague with Warrington. icon_wink.gif Not all will make it, but better put them into the team gradually, and next year the youngsters will be playing in a higher reserve league.We will be able to send some out on dual registration like Wigan,Warrington,Leeds etc. icon_wink.gif Wish people would look at the big picture, and not be blinkered.Yes i love Widnes to win everything this year, but the wish i wanted was Superleague. icon_thumb.gif
