Never seen Blackwood play so can't comment on his abilities. I will also stick to my guns that I DONT like loan signings and would much prefer a contracted player (better if local to). Still loan signings are a bit better than dual contract players but not ideal.

Apologies for swearing earlier to

Its ok mocking Barrow for all these loan signings etc.. but you still have those dual contract players who are as good as loans and if they are taken out of the widnes team your pack looks ordinary at best.

We are mocking the fact they critisised us for having loan/dual signings and calling us rent a viking.


Keep up

Fair enough we have 2 loan players. But it was inevitable to an extent, we have a small squad this year due to salary cap reductions as have most others.

Blackwood on a 2 month loan, understandable as we only have 1 centre in the squad in Liam Harrison.

McGilvaray on a month by month deal to cover for Nixon who broke his arm at Leigh and is out for 12 weeks minimum.

Its not building a squad for a campaign which relies on 4 players from another club as some have done.

Blackwood was crap at Leigh, well done Barrow.

What an idiotic thing to say.

Explain please how you build a squad which 'relies' on 4 players from other clubs? Or are you still failing miserably at justifying your fans pillorying of our loan/DR signings?

4 players do not make a squad.

While I don't really want to dignify you with a response HatedAndAdored, purely because of your cretinous avatar picture, I will explain it for the other users of this forum.

The terms of the loan and I believe DR contracts is that the players must play when fit, after all its pointless signing them if they are not going to play.

This means that if you take the full allocation as yourselves and Leigh did, 23.5% of your 17 man playing squad belong to another club and can be recalled at any time with only 24 hours notice. Regardless of how good your full squad is, that will cause significant issues for any team in this league should it happen. Without suggesting all players would be recalled at once, I would still call that a risk to any team wishing to challenge for honours.

Why don't you call the cry police?

Nice way of responding to me by saying that you're addressing the rest of the forum... Toddle off back to your own board if you find my avatar so 'cretinous'...

Why you find it so 'cretinous' is strange considering it's in context with the sport which has a long history of biff. I suppose you don't condone the sorts of youtube videos which show violence on the field of RL either if you are so offended by my avatar?

Perhaps you should go and watch croquet or something a little more palatable to your sensitive constitution if you are so easily offended and upset. This is rugby league, stop acting like such a limp wristed tart.

You believe wrong. Some clubs may make that a stipulation but Widnes certainly do not have that clause in the DR deals. BTW we only have 2 DR players Farrell and Dean who hasn't really played for us yet so you can't say we are building a team around them.
