Competition in the backs if Stefan comes to Widnes.Be interesting where he plays as i was happy with Tyrer and Ropati as the centres.But we have to cover injuries and i believe Tyrer has played on the wing.Ben Davies,Hecky,Pickers,and possibly sign another prop if Gannon does not resign.

Can you imagine marsh at full back with his pace.

Devastating.

Marsh or Danny Craven at fullback.Craven played really well last year at fullback, but we cant put too much pressure on a young lad.I hope to see Alex Brown,Grant Gore,and Alex Gerrard given a opportunity next year.

Marsh would have to be a first choice centre if he comes here,he's a different class than Tyrer.If that's his position then thats where he should play.Fed up of seeing second rows at prop,stand offs at scrum half and three quarters at full back, down here.

marsh or ropati at fullback i reckon but saying that tyrer would play anywere his team needs him and would just get on with it hes proved that at saints salford and celtic but he suits left centre the most by far plus isnt marsh a right centre?

Is there any point in signing them unless they are permanent? And surely if we are it should be on our terms - which of course we know it won't be cos they are not our players. We all know what happened with the dual thingy this season and how farcical that ended up being.

We need to dominate next season and having these 2 on board will go some way to doing that. A season long loan deal in affect means they're Widnes players for the year. No messing about with them being recalled unless Wigan have some sort of complete disaster.

Ben has the below in front of him next year so chances will be very limited

Stuart Fielden
Andy Coley
Paul Prescott
Jeff Lima
Eamon O'Carroll

Stefan has to contend with

Martin Gleeson
George Carmont
Josh Charnley
Amos Roberts

If we do manage to get them on season long loans then that will be a fantastic piece of business by the club.

Stefan marsh will be no were near widnes on monday he is in EGYPT for 2 weeks.

But Michael Maguire might be.

Has anyone got a picture of the Titanic for Halifax?

[i*Drools*[/i

Need a bit of gravy mind to soften things up there.

Would be a great coup if can get on full season loans no doubt. Very, very impressed with Davies this season, ability & passion!

Not sure if I'd let Marsh take over our centres in Tyrer & Ropati as they are our players so the others should fit around them for future gains! Plus you can't really say Marsh is better than Tyrer as he has yet to have that amount of SL exposure!

Two players I'd be happy to have on board for the year though... Here's hoping!

The Titanic was unsinkable. Unsinkable i tell thee !!

Where's those deck chairs and where's the band.........................?

i thought i read that marsh was off to the kick'n'clappers at sale after the end of the season?

Think they got him mixed up with another lad... Thornley? Who has joined Sale. Lennegan did confirm Marsh was still a Wigan player next year.

tyrer has got alot of super league experiance from both top and bottom of the league at 21 years of age hes been through alot, his experiance will be good for the vikings next year so he should play were he his best (left centre) ben davies monsterd the saints 20s a few weeks ago he would be a good signing for you guys

Ben monsters most when he plays against them, he's got great footwork for a prop and hits hard in defence. Im looking forward to Tyrers return, he does know where the line is and it will be good to see him playing in his correct position at centre. I think he will also benefit from being closer to home.

Tyrer was only at Salford last year though, that's hardly a million miles from St Helens.

Have to admit re: Tyrer I'm sorry to see him drop out of the top flight so soon. I remember seeing him at 17/18 and thinking blimey this guy is good, but for some reason he didn't kick on as expected. I do expect to see him score 20+ tries next season and who knows, perhaps Mick Nanyn has a young pretender to his throne as a point scorer?

Davies needs first team games at his age and reminds me of Dave Whittle when he played at Leigh, good player but not big enough for the top flight. Good player for the Championship though and as a Leyther I hope he proves me wrong.

I know but Salford were cannon fodder and he was played out of position on the wing, Salford is that glum it probably feels like he was a million miles away from Sintellins.



I think Ben will make it in Super League, watching him last year he really was a cut above, what he doesnt have in size he makes up for with great footwork.

If we do get Ben and Stefan i will be so made up.


Whats going on at Leyth at the minute Dave, all seems a little quiet? Nanyn is a good signing to have back. You cant knock someone who scores and kicks that many in a season.

As far as I'm aware at Leigh they are concentrating on a couple of signings and then retaining. I'm not too worried in truth, a couple of years ago in 2007 we were still signing players up until the second week of January and there is already a good chunk of players signed.

I know that IM is after a prop.

I'm hoping that at Leigh we see more of some of our younger players too. Jon Pownall was good for our reserves last season and Anthony Nicholson got better at hooker. Young Craig Briscoe could go very well while Sam Hopkins also has a lot of potential.

You can't argue with Nanyn's record, for each weakness there are obvious strengths and he didn't do too bad a job for you guys did he?

Ideally I'd like to see a centre, wing, wide running second row, halfback, hooker and prop signed. I suppose there are enough players out there on the market. I'll see what turns up in any case.

Be strange if Ben goes back. Couldn't wait to get out of Widnes at the end of last season apparently.

It would be the best deal for him though, he's down in the pecking order at Wigan but Wigan rate him, he's going to be 21 and needs games week in week out so a year long loan wouldn't do him any harm, this isn't a bad league to play in to gain first team experience.

Not what he told the supporters at the back end of last year, enjoyed his time at Widnes.

We were getting told the other week he couldn't get out of Wigan quick enough so which is it? Or just wishful thinking from different sets of fans?

FWIW Ben looked as / if not more gutted then any other player after the NRC Final and has always been one of the first to come over and applaud fans which were hardly the charecteristics of a guy who wanted away!

His body language whilst here told a different story.
