Pickersgil wasn't good enough for us in the championship let alone in the super duper league. Utter pants,his performace at weeds the other night was proof of that. Useless icon_frustrated.gif

I hope that Ben has got some contacts in OZ and can give the club the "heads up" on any players who may be available.

If Carlsberg made rugby clubs, they would be like Widnes!:



I'm sure I'm not the only one surprised by the contract extension, but there we go!
Leuluai and Isa were on their way out for me.

He's improved immensely in the last 6 weeks or so but I think the club should only have offered him a 1 year extension,it's clear DB sees some potential in the lad,I must admit I'm not convinced.

I am not convinced either but one thing i can praise the lad for is pure effort and commitment.His attitude is 100% and maybe this is what Betts likes in players.Well if this 2 year contract is not huge i suppose a ok squad player and hopefully improve his game furthur next year.Wish he was slightly bigger because has a heart of a lion.

Surprised at 2 years but not surprised he has been kept on. He is just the sort of player DB likes, fearless, bags of effort and showing clear signs of improvement. DB clearly feels he can make further progress that will outstrip any physical shortcomings.

That just leaves Isa and Winterstein OOC at the end of this year. Frank is going home to get wed so maybe he will have to sort it with his new Mrs if he can continue playing over here.

One thing Betts is doing is keeping continuity, which is a good thing.Depending who is available i would look at replacing ISA.Just a few new additions to strengthen our squad is required now.

We need a BBPF (Big Bruising Prop Forward) to replace Big Ben at least. If Gerrard and Lawton continue to improve we might not miss Davies at all.

Definitely need a bruising prop to replace Cross. Hopefully not one who is injured as much.Be nice to see a few more youngsters come through as Leeds reserves are still quality.Ben Davies has hardly played to be missed.

Yes I agree its hard to miss a player who hasn't played. Again like Briscoe Im sure there were games Davies would have been useful, but he had so little game time he cant have been match fit all season.
I thought Vikingman said Kavanagh was also off contract at the end of 2013, which I hadn't realised, if so Im sure he will be offered a new deal.
I would also offer Winterstein a new deal, although others have said he has got other offers.
Isa for me would be a "no" but DB is very loyal to those who try hard. I cant say I have seen any Leuluai type improvement from him though, he is more reliable in defence I suppose! DB may want some cover if he had decided that Flynn is never going to be able to correct his defensive shortcomings. You have got to assume another decent winger is coming in for 2014.

Wirralviking I think another speedy winger be nice or a centre/winger.I like a younger hooker with potential get a chance to speed things up at the ptb.I rate Clarke but not longterm and is better when gets spelled for a rest.Looking on Twitter big Frank seems to enjoy it at Widnes.One positive is most are retained for continuity.
