if its true cullen is offering reduced terms i wouldn't be surprised.You lot have already ticked one of the major boxes,ie winning the nrc , i wonder if you will now concentrate on other aspects of the sl application and build for the future ie 3 years time and not worry so much about next years team. only a thought but you never know.

Widnes did the same last year to Noone and Beswick and brought in the likes of Webster. The club are not going to offer increased terms to players who havent reached the heights expected.

Plenty of changes at Widnes for next year and they will be for the better, a couple of current super league players will be signed.

Care to share with a PM, VM?

I think there will be changes at the club at all levels. Cost savings will come to the fore as we already have the box ticked to enable us to apply.

There are bound to be losers in it all and it will be seen as turmoil by others but I'm sure SOC will have his business head on now that the target has been hit this season. Why spend more money when you have attained the goal that you set out for?

I'd like to see us try to win everything over the next couple of seasons but IMO decisions, and tough ones at that will be made or have already been made not only at the club but at the RFL.

Accordingly, cloth, cut. Rearrange as you will.

We still need to ensure that we are more than competitive next year. Hopefully we make at least a semi this year but I would like to see us be challenging next.

We've done the hard part but now we need to make sure there are no excuses. Playing strength could be one of them if we were to say finish 5th for the next couple of years.

I'm hoping we're asking for reduced contracts because we have a couple of big name players signed up and we need the space on the cap.
