Well I didn't see Thacks as a starting halfback for SL but I definately thought we'd keep him as utility backup for a number of positions.
Netherton, yes ok cya.
Ford, has been ok recently, but he's not a SL centre.
Gerrard is strong, hardworking and has potential, but I've not seen SL quality in him either, so ok i guess.
Announcing this now? why? We have plenty of other players with less quality than these 4, seems odd to single them out while the likes of Pickersgill are still walking this earth.

No more than about 2 hours at FB in total.
He has not played well this season and really there were calls for Danny Craven to play at Stand Off. |

| The timing of this is puzzling to say the least, Thursday is going to be interesting.I think we all knew that Netherton and Ford probably wouldn't come up but Thacks would have been a cert' and Gerrard still has potential IMO with youth on his side and full time training he could have been a useful squad member. Who will be next I wonder?  |

What will this do for those players? Inspire to prove TOC and PC wrong or just make them play sh*t.
Also in the article it says that they wont be part of the first team so i'm just wondering if Gerrard will be in the reserves ???

Maybe we're going to see a bit more of the young lads to see how they go,but bringing D/Rs in isn't going to help their cause.

Sorry, I saw that they had been told SL was a no go. I hadn't seen anybody else post that they were gone from widnes with immediate effect. My bad? |

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

Well, they’ve finally lost the ing plot. This is a desperate move, by the coaching staff, to save their own hides by looking like they are doing something radical.
Whilst I can agree that most, if not all, of those players may not be up to SL standard, we still have a season in the Championship to go here. To sack them off completely is just plain stupid!
Fuck me, Cullen signed all of those players. He even let go Smithy for Netherton. I’m ing finished with this shower of e, I really am!
I now await a raft of Loan and dual-reg players. This seems to be the answer to everything to some at the club.
W@ankers!
