Congratulations. I'll not bother naming all of our youngsters, it will take me too long, we've got 22 home grown under 21's in our squad.

anyway back on topic no mention of Widnes or any Superleague club in this piece on Blair in the Sydney Morning Herald...

I heard that Adam Blair was approached, but turned us down.

I seem to recall at an awards evening last year, Terry O'Connor stated that he didn't want to sign hasbeen Aussies or people that are coming for their payday. I guess only time will tell if he is sticking to that. Obviously there will have been some negotiations down under. It wouldn't surprise me if people were already tapped up.
I've heard a few names spouted about from the NRL and Super League.

The likes of:

Brent Webb,
Ali Lua'ititi,
Mark Flanagan,
David Solomona,
Jonathan Thurston,
Aaron Heremia,
Shaun Briscoe,
...
...
...
Grey Viane,
Brad Drew,
Maxime Gresque.

:
We will sort that out today!

32 - 20 ft can't say your unbeaten in the 18's anymore. Well played lads. Wire 15's and 16's won, much bigger sides good day out.

my head really would explode if we signed thurston

not very likely, but bloody hell! my brain would overload!

You are also signing; Jamal Idris, Billy Slater, Jarryd Hayne, Cameron Smith and possibly Benji Marshall on a season long loan deal.

nah, none of them are good enough for us

2 fullbacks? Come on widnes wheres craven going to play.

Thought Benj was dual Reg? Full season loan much better deal for us!

Yes?

I'm willing to bet you that Adam Blair will not be at Widnes next year. He's one of the best forwards in the world, he's in his prime and plays for the storm.

No way will he sign for Widnes.

St Pete the green eyed monster

It just won't happen mate, he's a top class player playing for a top class club.

It would be great for the game if you did sign these big names as I think super league will be a better comp with a good Widnes side in it. I've been disgusted how the likes of Widnes and Halifax etc have been left in the cold while the Quins, crusaders and Catalan are fast tracked and looked after by the RFL.

Good look next year!

edited for accuracy

Oh so he is staying at Melbourne Storm then ?

eeee bit slow these leigh folk

Franks 76 mate so you have to expect it at that age.

How about Linda Blair?



Looks like she's lived in Widnes for quite a while.

8 days Rich? Well in son

Doubtful, Wests have a big bid in for him.

Hoffman will replace him at Melbourne.

I doubt any would break a deal in the nrl.

that's why were top of the under 20's league.....again
