Quote: Bullseye "He'll be adequate if he plays on the wing. He is NOT a centre or fullback as he can't catch the ball if anyone is within 3m of him and his tackling technique involves him racing out of the line and missing his target to leave a gaping hole behind him.

Having said that on the wing he's alright, despite not being that quick. He's solid enough, and is good attacking a high ball and has scored a few for us from this tactic. His goalkicking is ok too 81% success rate this season.

He does wander around looking like he can't be ar5ed a lot. Might be an unfortunate manner but recently it would suggest that he's given up for us.'"



He will be coming in to go on the wing. The fact he can play elsewhere in the back line (albeit potentially poorly) is a bonus I suppose.

Just watching a couple of the SL highlights of your games on youtube and he looks very much like Tangi Ropati has in defence for us. Shoots out of the line at times and tries to bump the attacker off, only to be spun or miss completely.

Competent goalkicker and younger than I thought with some decent NRL experience behind him. Ultimately the big negative seems to be defence.

I will see how he goes for us but in the meantime he is another signing on the way to a full squad.

Could come and bite us on the backside. At the beginning of the year most said he deserved a new contract, he had a bad spell when he was played out of position.

Positives - Big Strong, makes good metres forward from dummy half. His biggest strength is attacking a high ball. Unfortunately we didn't click onto this and very rarely used it.

Negatives - Not the best defence, not the fastest.

Keep him on the wing, and he could do well for you.

I thought he showed promise earlier in the season, but lately he's been a liability. Whether or not thats because he knows he's going is anyones guess.

What I will say is, he is undoubtedly a winger, not a centre. He is a decent goalkicker and will make you good metres scooting from dummy half. His handling and defence definitely need work though.

He is younger than i thought at 23 so i am sure he can work on his defence.If started well he must have some ability and the Widnes squad is young and building for the future. k020.gif Now we need Witt,Vince Mellars, and a good hooker to rotate with Coyle.One more decent prop, and looseforward and i will be satisfied. icon_thumb.gif Well you can not just blame him for Bradfords downfall as the others do not look that good.Maybe a 2yr contract and his face fitting at Widnes will help him.

Some footage featuring the man in question. Not convincing....

No Sky footage please.

Ah Van will be ok with Penny on the other wing....or Riley?

Clarke to hooker - good leadership for you around the pitch....

Mitchell/McCarthy/Blythe - one of those will surely be coming to you.

There is definitely some ability in there, but I'm just not sure if he offers enough value for a quota spot.

Do you know if you lot will be making any loan signings for 2012. Just in case you are interested (ignore if you're not) we have O'Brien(hooker) Crossley(prop) Bateman (loose) who need SL experience.

Hope you guys go well next year anyway, and I enjoyed my trip to Widnes this year vs Saints so look forward to coming to play the vikings next year.

Mate you better ask Dennis Betts. icon_lol.gif icon_wink.gif To be honest nobody really knows what the final squad or players to be signed.Well recently just signed 3 of our best youngsters in Gilmore,Owens, and Craven.The good thing for Widnes is we can now send players on dual registration to the Championship.I am sure we will get a few loan players aswell.Hope you enjoy your visit next year when the Bulls play Widnes.Be nice to get a few away fans,as only Leigh and Fax bring support to the Stobarts. icon_thumb.gif

I'd of tried to sign Shad Royston if i was on your board, Bradford only play him 1 out of 3 weeks and every time he plays he scores. out of contract at the end of this season as well i think
