After being a Widnes supporter for many years, I have finally decided to join a fan site.

This is directed at a small group on TIW, they will read this.

Wackerchemic has been a mate of mine for well over 20 years, he turned me away from RU! He is not one for gossip and bigging himself up! His source is kosher and he made sure of that before posting.

I have no doubt it will be announced after the GF.

Is it the general state of the world at the momment that's causing some people on TIW to post such sole destroying bile? We're in Superleague for gods sake! Smile, a lot!

He'll be the next Paul Hulme, a grafter but a penalty machine to go with it.

Hmmmmm, is that Brian O'Connor's nickname??





Welcome to the site buddy. I'm sure it will get a little busier in the next few months.

Apparently SO'C told someone at the party on the pitch that had Saints lost announcement would have been made on Sunday!!

Welcome on board Balf Viking (about time you caught with technology



) & thanks for your support.



It looks as though J20 has confirmed what I was told.



IMO we will see perhaps 1 or 2 more signed from SL (after SM) then between 3 & 4 from down under, I do hope my hunch is right because I reckon at least 1 antipodean will be a big name if I am reading SOC correctly, the guy doesn't do losing.



IMO his goal will be a top ten finish next year meaning we can attract higer profile players in 2013, resulting in a top eight finish attracting better signing again for 2014 with the aim of top 6 when the SL franchise comes around again. Moving our franchise grade from C to B to ensure we stay in SL for the next franchise period, when SOC will want our club to be challenging for honours.



I can't thank the guy enough for what he has done for Widnes

The guy is a legend... At the very beginning I admit that I had a few niggling doubts that this was all being done to keep the council sweet regarding the MMG site. BUT... the amount of money he has thrown at the club and is continuing to do so just shows that this guys commitment cannot be questioned.



Time now for the rest of the town and the surrounding areas to get with the programme and turn up in their droves.

Good signing if true.

what is the strongest line up so far and where do you need to strenghen?

I'd go for;



Briscoe

Flynn

Isa

Dean

Ah Van



Watts

Hanbury



Cross

Clarke

Kavanagh

Haggerty

Cahill

Moore (if signed, if not, drop Kavanagh to 13 & Ben Davies to prop)



I reckon we need strengthening at wing, centre & Prop.

please sign him.Absolute liability in giving away stupid penalties ,suitably demonstrated last night

He was not that bad and be a decent player for Widnes, as we are not expecting to be a top 6 side.Still young and I thought Meli was poor or worse than Moore.

Didn't we sign another second rower from Crusaders? Winterstein,never seen him play but SL experience with his former club?
