It is a write off this season as the recruitment has been poor.Signing Leuluai,Finnigan,Clarke,ISA,Watts,Moore,Cross,and Kite have all been poor.Funnily enough had bad luck with injuries with Briscoe,Kavs,Watts and Coyle out for the season.We did not buy the best from the Championship and Widnes fans don't want Cullen and Betts at the club.But the Chairman listens too their bull every week.My best signing would be a top coach.Youth that has played are Owens,Gerrard,Mullaly,and Craven.We have better youngsters in the U20s but Betts won't play them.

Good one.

You do realise we have played Craven, Mullally, Gerrard and Owens at some point in the season?

Or do you think that we would be in a better position if we played a team full of "Yoof" this year?

Widnes have definitely offered matty smith a deal and Brett Finch (although I cant see Finch moving to Widnes)

I've highlighted the players I think Widnes should target - not the best players on the list, players I think we could realistically persuade to come here, others which are ambitious but why not offer them deals anyway. Some of which depend on who we re-sign too. I've higlighted a couple of hookers but I assume we'll be okay in that position. There's no limit on the list. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=527705&tsmp=1337338353 Olivier Elima, James Donaldson, Tom Burgess. Joe Arundel, Brett Ferres. Darryl Millard. Tommy Lee. Richard Whiting, Sam Moa. Craig Hall, Ben Galea Luke Ambler Ashley Gibson, Sean Gleeson, Matty Smith Paul Clough, Andrew Dixon Paul Johnson Brett Hodgson, Lee Briers, Adrian Morley, Mike Cooper, Gareth O'Brien John Kite, Steve Pickersgill, Kurt Haggerty. Brett Finch, Stefan Marsh, Mike McIlorum, Sean O'Loughlin. Would be happy if any of them this season. I think we are going to need to invest more in players next season, 1) in order to compete & 2) cover for any injury crises we might have.

Gaz O'Brien is being groomed in to Wire's No.1 halfback, just can't see it happening.

Most can't pal. But until Wire get his signature on that contract?

Tbh he should be FAR higher in your contract priorities than any of Morley, Hodgson, Briers or Solomona.

One the players have turn widnes down he is stopping at the club he is at this season.

Can someone send this down to Bletchley Park please?

Even enigma couldn't decode that

Francis Meli to Widnes is a big one going round at the minute.

And Foster and Shenton........

shenton would be a great signing. Foster brings nothing but decent goal kicking. Please please please lets not sign meli, he's a liability.

You can have Mellars whenever you want!

Troy Stone and Robbie Relf

No thankyou you can keep him.
