Best wishes to Smithy - one of our best signings of recent times.

Wish him all the best. Quite put off how he was treated in the end.

No disrespect to Swinton but he's far too good for Champ 1. I still don't get why we got rid of him. Coyle and Netherton aren't fit to lace his boots.

That's the thing I just don't get. We are weaker at hooker with us letting him go.

Good look to smithy at swinton

But could be cheaper, and have more long term potential to play in SL, Netherton already has. There's often alot more too it than how good they are. Doran was our player of the year but we've let him go - got to think long term and outside of the box. Something we've failed to do for a long time.

I do understand the thinking, I just don't understand the choice. Bar one good game against Barrow, Netherton didn't do much for me. Both him and Coyle were far too slow with the distribution from the ptb. Of course this may all have been hampered by the fact that at times all three of them were on the field and we lacked a key play maker following Webster's departure, but I just don't rate either of them particularly highly going off what I have seen so far particularly when you look at who they are replacing and the service Smith gave us.

Higgins is rubbish VM!

I hope we have a hooker lined up.

How come he has left the club? I always had him down as one of your best players.

Let's put it down to a difference of opinion. The core of Widnes spectators wanted him, Cullen didn't.

Where's the link to say he's signed for swinton ?

He was announced at the recent fans meeting, him and Mccormack were present.

Good luck to him. He was a good ambassador for the club. Swinton have a good 'un there.

cheers

I just don't understand this decision. When fit he's as good as any hooker in the division.
