Sound like three good players but will they help your own crop of young players coming through? Do you have to play the three every game if they ate availible?

I'm really pleased that these lads will be joining Widnes on loan.

You probably have our three most outstanding prospects.

Liam Farrell and Ben Davies are fantastic going forward. I enjoy watching Farrell in particular, he's very dynamic and enjoyable to watch. I'd say Ainscough is similar to Dean Gaskell, but much better.

Rentateam...

aiscough is a fantastic signing for us, he will be brilliant in the championship and i predict 30+ tries from him this season.

I think these three should help you in your quest for Superleague !

The barrow fans are up in arms they dont think any of them would also make the team. Jealous little cumbrian gits. www.totalrl.com/index.php?showtopic=196718

That news is almost as good as the signings VM .

Jealousy is for the weak. Just like SRC and his Barrow bum chums on totalrl, they've got 2 threads about us, slating everything we're doing. The truth is they're green with envy, stating that these three players were signing for them originally and that it's so unfair and they should special treatment from the RFL.

According to SRC, we're building a rentateam and planning for one season only. The fear and envy oozes out of his every word.

I can't wait for the 14th, when we smash them off the park with our speed and skill. McChoker and co. will be treated to a Viking massacre.

I wasn't sure a couple of weeks ago about the merits of sending guys like Ainscough and Farrell out on loan because I thought they might better training with the first team at Wigan in the hope of them getting some gametime. I didn't realise they would be splitting their time training wise between the 2 clubs so it looks like a fantastic deal for both clubs.

I've got to say fair play to whoever came up with this dual contract idea. It's a win win for everybody. The Championship is miles ahead of the reserve league which will improve these lads but I also think they'll bring alot to the championship themselves.

I'm hoping to get along to a couple of Widnes fixtures this season and have a look how they're getting on.

Great move that. I now have to revise my miserly prediction of Widnes not finishing in the top six. Top three now. Will make it that bit harder for my "dad's army" to do the business over Widnes this season
