I don't blame him. He seems a nice guy too, so I do wish him well.
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.   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.  |

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

Poor signing for Widnes. Theres better wingers in the Championship in my opinion who would cost less. Maybe worth asking about Shad Royston as he doesnt seem to get too much game time with the Bulls although he scores still tries for fun and gives 100%

The thing with Royston seems to be that Bradford don't want to let him go and he doesn't seem to want to leave.
All the reports seem to suggest that he was a decent enough player early on in the season and his form has suffered along with the team.
With these things it's hard to know how he will go we can only wait and see.

If put on the wing i think he will be a good signing.Strong and quite quick, and 11 tries in 24 games is not too bad.He has also a 80% kicking rate.Still young at 23 and with a decent centre i will be happy.The lad was good at the start of the season, and with the whole Bradford team poor he is used as a scapecoat. I would not mind Shad Royston but he may be happy at Bradford. |

He has scored 8 tries. His kicking is average not the worst but far from the best. Not quick and very lazy. However he does drive in the ball decently and is good under an attacking high ball.

Kicked off the match on Sunday , straight into touch on the full. His confidence looked shot to pieces after 15 minutes as Warrington continually attacked his wing. As Bulls fans have said he looked ok at the start of the season and the move to Widnes might be best for all.

Don't be so touchy. We've been crap for 4 years now so it's water of a duck's back.
Good luck for 2012. |

That's about right. Bradford have been rubbish this season and Ah Van would have done much better in a good team. It seems a bit funny that a lot of the criticism at hiss signing comes from supporters of other clubs.
Some supporters should remember that when you are at the top going down is very easy. |
