Not heard anything but wouldn't be at all surprised to be honest. He's played more for the Scorpions this season, and he's far too good to be playing CC1 regularly.

Wouldn't want to see him go, but it may be best for his career. Didn't he leave Wigan just after Noble took over too?

Looking forward to 2012's "Sold Out" Super League Derby with Widnes. Make sure you look after JJ, he always gives 100%

I know some widnes fans felt bitter losing out on a licence.But i admit i was one of them,as i miss the derbies against warrington,wigan and saints.Glad it is working in north wales as i do think expansion is good,but not to the detremental of the heartland clubs.I do have confidence much more next time around,with the new owners at widnes.Anyway we now have 4 derby games if get in mate.In the championship we only have leigh who bring a decent crowd.If we get in be nice see you bring a good following to widnes and vice versa.

They most certainly will be. Work on the ground is finally underway (clearance) the team are starting to buck their ideas up, we are financially stable and bar the crowd issue we have every reason to be confident. As much as I hope Widnes are added to the comp they can't expect to be shunted in because they have higher crowds than Salford and they had a decent team 20 years ago.

Regarding Jordan James, I hope he does well at Widnes. I think he's one of those props that would be fantastic at Championship level but no more than a squad player at a lower SL club. I remember Malc trying to pick a fight with him a couple of years ago back at The Willows. Fair play to him for having a go but JJ is built like a brick sh*thouse and if I was a betting man I know who I'd have had my money on!!!
