For starters it would make sense for them to take Dual Registered players from Catalans and other super league clubs.

That will almost certainly happen, the French are being "encouraged" to help each other out,that was told to me by a senior member of the RFL.

how many times have you seen dylan skee play? the quins fans rate him as does rob purdham

weve also got 1 or 2 signings still to come

So have we

Did hear Batley were taking dual players from Huddersfield.

want your drugs widnes 8th my

They contain chemicals. You should be fine with them

Why not? Cut backs arnt helping you at all, i mean having to sign second raters like Matt Gardner and Tommy Coyle, whats going on there. Cullen couldnt get the best out of good players i doubt he will get the best out of players of that `quality`. Hey but you got about 5 Duals to come in playing them every other week should lead to a nice balance in your team.

Remind me what have FAX won or reached in the last 4 years.

1 GF . Not that much to crow about.

Widnes 2 GF's and 2 wins in the NRC. Not sure about Coyle myself but Gardner will go alright in this league .

History is bunk - Henry Ford.

2010 is what i'm looking forward to and i can see a great season ahead for Fax - on the pitch - and on the pitch is all i'm bothered about. Yes, you may come back with "at least we'll be in Super League in 2012". Maybe your holiness, maybe - but will you have been entertained on the pitch? Not with that squad vicar.

Florimo is a big tart, Coyle is a talented kid with very good hands, just because a short stint at Fax didnt go great doesnt make him crap. Gardner scored an absolute shed load with Salford and will go well again at this level.



Bring it on Fax.

Coyle is an unfit penalty machine! no creativity at all, and Gardner...well god loves a tryer.

your usual wisdom is missing from this post.

Everyone knows fax are a different team from previous years.

No my usual wisdom tells me that every fax fan hopes your a different team from previous years .


The Vicar

Bet your an Arsenal fan also Rich.

Fantastic to watch but in the end come up short.


The Vicar

Come on Viking! Admit it! You were disappointed when the Coyle signing was announced

fair comment, but tell me which player movement has weakended an already strong side?

Gene, Azuie, Branighan have come in with only Govin and Smith as noticable departures.

Sorry mate but Fax fans have good reason to "hope", they have clearly strenghthened and are an improved squad from previous yrs.

Tell me if i'm wrong (i've put £50 on it)

Which bit of my post has to do about previous years. You will find the thread is for people to predict NEXT years final placings.

Cant help if you are insecure about your teams hopes for the coming season, but then again if i were a Widnes fan id be concerned too.

Greg early in this thread I predict its close to call between you Us Barrow and Fev .
I just quoted your post as an example of arrogant Fax fans who seem to think they will be all conquering next year .

And to remind you that you imploded last year , and all you have to show is ,a tick in a box . But all you boys go right ahead and think its in the bag already.

The Vicar

Fax fans know nothing is "in the bag" but have confidence NOT arrogance that 2010 will be good due to the squad improvements.

Think i predicted that we will finish second.

I guess the bookies will also be arrogant as well when they make us and Barrow favorites? Get a grip.

Talk about looking to the future



Haighy

Doesn't make him that good either. If he is a talented kid with great hands he'd still be at Wigan or in SL at least.

Good signing for you though.

The same amount of boxes that you've ticked as well. Our 'implosion' still got us to our goal at the start of the league season of the grand final. Don't tell me Widnes fans didn't think your SL place in 2009 wasn't 'in the bag' in 2008?
