I think we can get away with another 4 signings if Morro stays and then we should be done, getting someone like Paul Johnson would be fantastic as he can cover centre and second row. The other 3 can be made up from the dual contract situation.

Impartial stance

Surprised anyone who has watched Mark Gleeson since he signed for Halifax would say no thanks, he's by far the best all round hooker in this division.

I can't see much between the two teams, (Fax and Widnes) it was pretty even last year (2-2 if I recall) with only one runaway result at the Stobart. Looking forward to the games again this year, definitely will be competitive.

Kevin Penny has bulked up a hell of a lot and seems to figure in Tony Smith's plans so I think you have seen the last of him in a Widnes shirt to be honest. Never say never,but I doubt he will be loaned out again.

He figures so much that he hasnt played a game so far this year.

He's the only man to have ever won the NRC and the challenge cup in the same year isn't he? Gotta be proud with that one.
