Barrows fans not happy - Would appear that they announced he was one of the players that they had re-signed at their presentation night.

Glad to see you signing someone...least you might be competetive if you sign a few more players.

Seems he had verbally agreed the contract but once his home town club come calling there was only ever one choice. www.totalrl.com/index.php?showtopic=192758

Reading that thread it seems to link Liam Harrison strongly with Leigh?

Announcing someone as signed even though they havent signed a contract is always silly. Leigh have done it plenty of times and ended up with egg on faces.

That SRC is a right tool on the Barrow forum

[i"Widnes certainly like to beg, borrow and steal their team don't they !

Even more reason to put one up Cullen and co. next season"[/i


All as i can say to that is bring it on Matey, and while your at it explain the beg, borrow and steal comments.

Good signing for Widnes. Solid and dependable. Next year is going to be great. Good to see the Barrow fans a bit upset as all they seem to do is say they should be in SL or go gobbing off or trolling on here or on the Fax Forum.

"I have ambitions of returning to Super League and I think that by rejoining the Vikings I have a great chance of fulfilling them in 2012."

Is it just me or does every player who's signed for us in the last few years say words to this effect? Do they give 'em a card to read from or summat? I mean it's nice to hear but it's getting a bit Stepford now!

I personally think he should go and report it to the cry police.

Thats were the youth structure comes in, the below should be primed for Super League if and when it happens.


Paddy Flynn
Anthony Thackery
Ben Kavanagh
Danny Hulme
Anthony Mullally
Dave Allen
Thomas Coyle
Dave Houghton
Shayne Grady
Dean Thompson
Steve Pickersgill (will be 26)

Im not saying all will make it but we have some cracking youngsters in that lot.

Whats the odds that Barrow replace him with Fletcher?

Good luck to Dave at Widnes.

Bit disappointed he'd didn't sign after agreeing terms and stating he would but its up to him to do what he believes is best for himself. Can't really complain if a player wants to play for his home town club, particularly with the travelling involved playing for us.

Have to say the Widnes team looks a lot better than last year, particularly with the proposed dual reg signings.

Funny.. that's what the Oldham fans were saying about Barrow earlier on this year!!!

Unfortunately they are a bit rattled at the moment and deservedly so. It's not been good news for them since McCormack signed.

I was certainly under the impression Dave Allen had signed a 2yr deal. Obviously not. I wonder if there is more to this than meets the eye ?
