not too good in super league but he was ok for sheffield in nl1, but i thought he was signing for halifax.

Strong rumours down here and it was in the league express he was coming to us

Fordy has signed for Widnes, got blistering pace and should be a very good signing.

He'll be rolling it in aswell. Looks like he's got a good deal!!

He is probably one of our better backs but never got much of a chance to develop at Cas.
He will score more try's for you than Wainwright ever would thats for sure.

I wouldnt be so sure last time we were in division 1 he scored 12 tries in the season, not bad for a winger who's centre wouldnt pass to him, he was batleys top try scorer with something like 19 tries in a season if iirc. the only thing snowie is missing is sl level pace, put him in nl1 and he would score tries for fun.

no great loss for us, not as good as our other backs.
Wainwright is the better of the two
But should do really well in NL1 tho, and score a fair few tries.
