Recruitment 2013 thread : Fri May 18, 2012 11:06 am  

Going off this thread the following players are off-contract. I've highlighted the players I think Widnes should target - not the best players on the list, players I think we could realistically persuade to come here, others which are ambitious but why not offer them deals anyway. Some of which depend on who we re-sign too. I've higlighted a couple of hookers but I assume we'll be okay in that position. There's no limit on the list. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=527705&tsmp=1337338353 Chev Walker, Ben Jeffries, Olivier Elima, Bryn Hargreaves, Manase Manuokafoa, Ian Sibbit, Shaun Ainscough, James Donaldson, Tom Burgess, Jarrod Sammut, Daniel Addy, Jason Crookes, Kyle Briggs, Liam McAvoy, Karl Pryce, Phil Joseph. Nick Youngquest, Joe Arundel, Josh Griffin, Danny Orr, Brett Ferres, Steve Snitch, Stuart Jones, Ryan Hudson, Paul Jackson, Ryan McGoldrick, John Davies, James Grehan Darryl Millard, David Ferriol, Sebastien Raguin, Steve Menzies, Ben Fisher. Adam Walker, Tony Tonks, Tommy Lee, Ross Peltier Will Sharp, Tony Martin, Mark O'Meley, Richard Whiting, Sam Moa, Danny Nicklas, Lawrence Pearce, Mike Burnett, Martin Aspinwall. Louis Sherrife, Nick Johnson, Craig Hall, Jake Webster, Chris Heil, Rhys Lovegrove, Joel Clinton, Ben Galea, Jordan Cox, Aaron Ollet, Liam Watts, Scott Murrell, Dave Peterson Ryan Bailey, Luke Ambler, Daniel Smith Michael Robertson, Karl Temata, Jason Golden, Ben Bolger, Omari Caro, Lamont Bryan, Scott Wheeldon Luke Adamson, Vinnie Anderson, Ashley Gibson, Sean Gleeson, Matty Smith, Josh Veivers, Danny Williams, Luke Towers. Paul Wellens, Francis Meli, Paul Clough, Andrew Dixon GET DIXON! Paul Johnson, Ben Cockayne, (I think Cockayne has signed myself) Tim Smith Brett Hodgson, Lee Briers, Adrian Morley, Micky Higham, Mike Cooper, Rhys Williams, Gareth O'Brien, David Solomona, James Laithwaite, Lee Mitchell Ben Cross, John Kite, Steve Pickersgill, Kurt Haggerty. Maybe Cross depending on how he finishes the season Brett Finch, Stuart Fielden, Stefan Marsh, Joe Mellor, Mike McIlorum, Chris Tuson, Sean O'Loughlin.

Christ almighty - you're not even half way through your FIRST season back.

Threads like this are awful. Wind back a year and it was Yoof this, Yoof that. What a sham that was.

It smacks of desperation by fans who are going through the ringer. I am reminded of the euphoric celebrations when the suits granted Widnes the license and how that all now seems a world away. Maybe some will start to realize now that the reason you're struggling is the reason why the franchise system in its present form is just not workable.

It is a write off this season as the recruitment has been poor.Signing Leuluai,Finnigan,Clarke,ISA,Watts,Moore,Cross,and Kite have all been poor.Funnily enough had bad luck with injuries with Briscoe,Kavs,Watts and Coyle out for the season.We did not buy the best from the Championship and Widnes fans don't want Cullen and Betts at the club.But the Chairman listens too their bullshit every week.My best signing would be a top coach.Youth that has played are Owens,Gerrard,Mullaly,and Craven.We have better youngsters in the U20s but Betts won't play them.

Good one.

You do realise we have played Craven, Mullally, Gerrard and Owens at some point in the season?

Or do you think that we would be in a better position if we played a team full of "Yoof" this year?

Widnes have definitely offered matty smith a deal and Brett Finch (although I cant see Finch moving to Widnes)

Brett Finch, Stefan Marsh, Mike McIlorum, Sean O'Loughlin. Would be happy if any of them this season. I think we are going to need to invest more in players next season, 1) in order to compete & 2) cover for any injury crises we might have.
