What for now?
Scenario - 10 mins left on Thursday we are down by 8 but gaining some momentum... Who do we turn to for a bit if magic to win it? |

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.  |

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.

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?

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. 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. 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.  |

York have confirmed offers for Thacks & Ford. Fax & Barrow also said to be interested in Thackeray.

That's what I mean. Is the restructuring of the Champs to begin next year?
