Funny as I think in our league for a half back his defence is one of his major plus points? Can't ever re-call him being a liability whatsoever! Come on Offthecuff you can't judge anyone's defence against Leigh all terrible, especially not Thacks as he was at FB 2nd half.

He has good upper body strength and holds his line well. He was unlucky at Fax as they were struggling and he was still very young, only about 20? Bare in mind he never played a full season until he joined Widnes I think he's been excellent and really improving. Without a doubt worth his shot in SL as well... he's got us there!

Apparently Widnes contacted Lockyer's manager to ask if he'd be interested. He's not, but it's good to see ambition.

When you look at the lists of OOC NRL players, I hope that Widnes are looking at the reasons why some of them would want to come over. Luke Bailey and Preston Campbell at the Gold Coast have been absolute revelations as leaders on and off field. Finding someone - from SL as well - with the same attitude is key.

In terms of pure numbers, one source will probably be whichever SL side Widnes replaces?

Rinaldi at hooker.

any chance of re-signing mark smith, he was good enough for SL

aparently.

Better option than John Clarke!

I think Clarke would do a decent job, his defence is absolutely immense and that's what most sides lack on promotion.

ben foden, Chuck Norris, jesse ventura. sorted

I possibly would...I still think he is a better hooker than either Netherton (who is likely to get a contract) or Coyle and more importantly he was a genuine leader that we are visibly missing this year.

i agree..... that's why i put it.

I'd be chuffed if we signed Jon Clarke. Not a fan of Rinaldi.

We need some good recruitment in aussies and new zealand players.

Sign Paul Cooke now. Get him focused and fit and outta Hull. Could be a steal and a great goal kicker.

...and we thought you had ambition
