First of all I have to congratulate Widnes getting back in the big time very well done ,I think the competition will only improve with some tasty derbies coming .

What sort of potential and realistic recruits out there would you like to see playing at the stobart next year??

I can see John Clarke, Kevin Penny, Gareth Raynor and Paul Johnson. You heard it here first...

I just hope Widnes spend to the full cap and still make a profit.

They already offer more off the field than most of the clubs in the league and they will offer more on it if they can spend to the cap.

well done widnes fully deserved, obviously you vikings fans will see your players week in week out so what players in the current squad would you keep for the next season

I can see Raynor leaving Bradford if he's offered a longer than 12 month deal, which I don't think he'll get from Bradford given his age and the fact we've got Ah Van and Ainscough as our first choice wingers. As long as they're both offered new deals....

That would be great for the game.

Targets:

No Leigh players/coaches.
Jamie Rooney
Stuart Dickens
Jamie Thackaray
Ian Hardman
Sean Penkywicz
Ben Black
Menzie Yere

and that's just from our league.

If Wakey go you've got to be looking at Matt Blaymire, Julien Rinaldi, Glenn Morrison, Tommy Lee, Frankie Mariano, Josh Vievers.

If Crusaders go Clinton Shifcofski, Stuart Reardon, Michael Witt, Jarred Sammut, Ryan O'Hara.

I think it's fairly obvious one of those two will go, with all this time to prepare and money behind you I reckon there's a chance you can put together a decent squad. I admit I was slating you the other day saying you'd get battered in SL, but now i'm thinking about it i'm starting to think I was wrong.

I think if Widnes take a few of those Wakefield players along with some players of their own and then they sign some top quality talent from the NRL they will be play-off material as long as they spend to the full cap.

Big Jim Mills. He was on sky news earlier, still think he could take 'em on.

Mick Mills could do better than your forwards did at Leigh last week!

Just IMO obviously.

I'd like to know what the Widnes fans think.

Chris Hill
Kevin Penny
Martin Gleeson
Richie Myler


Ben Davies
Tommy Goulden (awesome last week)

Off the top of my head

I suppose i can tell you now you've signed Shaun Briscoe for next season

I heard this yesterday. If a Hull HR fan is now saying it, it must have some substance.



Very good signing if true!

you serious? I thought he was under contract at KR?

Contract finishes end of this season

A good signing if it's true, craven will learn a great deal from him but I hope his bent nose doesn't put the young lad of.

You have indeed signed Briscoe moving back to his roots in Wigan, will be a great player for you guys and possible captain i reckon!

Think you might get a few has beens!!
a few not quite as good of they could of beens!!

and a sprinkling of players who have played at the top level.......
Gosh ya sound like Salford already.

Hey come on it's only our first year back

Keep away from the Leythers !!!! LOL!!

You can't have Basil, You can't have Hill, and you deffo can't have Goulden !!
You have to 'yoof', so use them !!

ainschough doind well for bradford only on a 1 year deal,
as is marc herbert, as is pat ah van, as is shad royston....
the list never ends... WTF

Hmmm....Bratfut for the Championship?

Do you know if you'll have to have 8 club-trained minimum and a maximum of 5 non-fed? Personally I think the rules should be relaxed slightly for those returning or debuting in SL, for a couple of seasons. For all that you're being knocked for not having the best first team in the championship, the investment in youth will set you in better stead than slightly superior senior semi-pros to be released at the end of this season.

The rules should not be relaxed.

Dispensation makes a mockery of the system.... SOC has been bigging up the youth as part of the bid.

If i was a widnes fan i wouldn't want relaxed rules.
