these effete aussies need to man up! at least we dont get typhoons and crazy flooding over here. id take frost over that sh*t anyday.

Three fullbacks Briscoe,Craven and Bowen?Alot of rumours but i feel Craven be good at Standoff with a top class scrumhalf.Maybe Bowen can play standoff but this is all speculation after all.We need a nasty prop,secondrower and centre for Superleague.Lets hope we recruit better for next year and possibly if more fans join the stronghold we will have a better chance of competing.To get 1.65 million to spend will help immensly.

Why stop at three?

What are you drinking today i want your medicine.

Maybe Craven or Bowen will play at halfback?We will need a top class centre,prop,secondrower and scrumhalf possibly.Only a handful in this years squad are good enough and to take a few youngsters for the reserves.

Here's a peek at the new range of houses at Upton Rocks - Matty Bowen has been seen looking at one of em!

Look out for the Polar Bears though Matt - it's snooing with em in Widnes!

It's some good stuff. I just heard from a relatively new and as yet unproven source that we had all but agreed a deal with a different FB to the ones listed above.

Matt Bowen > Lance Hohaia. Probably as a 6 too.

6: MATT BOWEN
7: STEPHEN MYLER ????

Stephen Myler?

WTF

You know the guy that Happy Frank said would play for England one day...













....


And good on him.. I'm genuinely delighted to see a local lad doing so well.

Surely a typo and he meant this other Widnes Myler, well done to Stephen btw learnt all his skills from me.

Still this lad is going to be immense, and i recon the best Widnes has produced in the last 20 years.

Absolutely... I still haven't seen this lad pick the ball up in anger yet but there are a number of people I know and trust who tell me that this lad is going to be just awesome. I'm definitely going to try and get along to a couple of the games to watch this guy.

I remember that short, inside pass Gilmore gave to Jack Owens, in one of the friendly games, that sent him over. That was absolute, Tony Myleresque, class, and worth the entrance fee alone.



I think the club are right to blood him slowly, but I can’t wait to see him become a regular first teamer.

I am sure we will in the next few yrs mate.Being fulltime and as lads strengthen they will be quality.Look at the top teams like Saints,Wire, and Wigan blooding their top youngsters.Hopefully we will do the same with a mixture of top class aussies and new zealanders.

Hope we can get Bowen as looks class and was in the Sun newspaper in Gloucester.Shocked as never hardly show Rugby league in kick and clap country.

Couldn't agree more. I am delighted for the guy. Well done Stephen!

Now, see if he can help get Ben Foden to convert to League and join the mighty Vikings

If you can get Bowen to sign for you, and play him at FB, he'll be the signing of the season. Before he got injured he was one of the best all-round FB's in the world. He's starting to show glimpses of his best form again. Would be great to see him in SL

They dont need a full back, Brent Webb is there next year if rumours are to be believed.

please no. Hes increasingly of the ryan bailey school of petulant niggling. please keep him.

I'd have Bowen ahead of Webb no question. In fact I'd have Bowen before any fullback currently playing in SL

"Right, you've already got Bowen, that's safe. Would you like to play for bully's special prize?"

Iiiiiiin one!

TOC has denied that we're in for him.

Who, Bowen?

On Webb this has been posted on BBC 606 baba Rhino's fan who has a reputation as... Being 100% spot on!
