Shane Grady : Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:03 pm  

Has apparently signed for London! Good luck to the lad, always happy to chat whenever i approached him. Never quite lived up to the up and coming superstar potential of his first full season in the first team with us but at 22 hes still got time on his side.
All the best to him!
And yet another widnes academy product in Superleague!

And that's the key mate. Obviously prefer them all at the Stobart in an ideal world but if they don't make it here for whatever reason if other SL clubs go for them it still looks good on us.

Shane always seemed to start a season brilliantly and then fall off the way side a bit. Pretty sure it was said age played a factor in his departure at the end of last season. I.e. if it was SL U23s and not 20s he would have been kept on and further developed.

I'm delighted that Shane has found a team to play for. Always gave us 110% and there were a few MOM performances in there for us.

Hope he goes well.

He used to run like pantomine a horse for us. How ironic he has signed for the London Broncos. Priceless

He is too slow for a centre, but maybe do ok for a Secondrower.I would not be jumping through hoops if we signed him.I wish him well though as puts the effort in.

Best of luck to him, it's another Widnes lad playing in Super League and we should be proud of that as a town. His future is definately in the pack and he'll go okay with full time training.

If thats the standard they are signing then that can only be good news for us.

Did Widnes release Grady ?

Yes mate due to been over the u20s limit, and only so many can play over age.Personally i would not have taken Leuluai on to be honest.But Grady is not much better though.
