I bloody hope not

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?

TRUE................gone on loan. Hoping to play for Widnes today but registration never got through in time. Correct what you said about same thing happening at Wigan when Nobby took over. I think he was the top try scorer in the forwards at the time, having played 7 games and scored 6 tries but Noble didn't see him as part of his plans.
He was always concerned that it would repeat itself at Crusaders and it's proved it's self to be true. Nobby obviously has his favourites and JJ's not on the list.
He's frustrated at being 18th man every week and not getting any game time, so when Widnes came calling he's taken the opportunity.Barring an injury crisis, I can't see him playing many more games for Crusaders this season.
He's obviously gutted after coming off such a high with Wales last season and really looking forward to playing with a more competitive team.
Personally I've got to say Crusaders loss............. Widnes's gain. He's never given anything less than 100% for whichever team he's played for. (Despite some of the comments posted on the Widnes fans forum when he left!).
He'll be back in Super League soon.

tbh were all glad to have him back, weve lost Pickersgill and Haggerty for the season so he is more than welcome. JJ was a good player last time around for us and will be again.

How long is his loan spell for mate?

One month initially and then reviewed weekly I think.

I thought Anthony Blackwood had signed on a two month loan at Barrow, at the time, like you say, I thought players only usually did a month and it was unusual to see a deal done for two months.

He could sign on a season long loan but with a 48 hour recall clause in it.

Seems like crusaders fans rate jordan james.Well i hope he becomes a revelation and stays with widnes for the season.Gannon,davies,james,houghton and kavanagh is a great lot of prop forwards at our level in the championship.Hope we can join you in superleague in 2012.Be a derby game for you.

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!!!
