Demon remind me where i said we are in super league..?..but you are right i will correct myself just for you....maybe a few of our 18's will step upto the reserves in our 5 week layoff...
As for the poaching bit..well we will just have to wait and see wont we..im assuming u think we wont get super league status then and wont have the financial clout to keep hold of these young un's?...again time will tell.

Demon what is the point of us having a academy set up if have no chance of a franchise?Well we have one hoping to be in Superleague.The decision is early next year and if we get the nod they will stay at Widnes.We should be in Superleague anyway.

Alex Brown - Widnes scholarship signed from St Maries
Danny Crompton - Signed from Wigan St Judes
Declan Hulme - Signed from Bold Miners and played foundation academy as it was last year.
Josh Crowley - Signed from Warrington 18's. Strange decision for them to let him go. Looks unstoppable in the centres.
Chris Doolan - Widnes scholarship and signed from St Maries.
Danny Craven - Ex- West Bank Bears. Didnt make the cut after playing foundation academy at Saints. Came here after playing U'17s rugby at the Bears and is going from strength to strength.
Grant Gore - Signed from Wigan St Judes.
Elliott Davies - Signed from Wigan St Pats.
Richard Hughes - Widnes scholarship and signed from St Maries.
Alex Gerrard - Signed from Hindley if I remember correctly.
Tom Kelly - Signed from Wigan St Pats. MOM in the National Cup Final against Judes and we beat off alot of clubs to sign him
Adam Lawton - Scholarship and signed from St Maries.
Chris Walsh - Widnes scholarship and signed from West Bank, I think.

Chris Aitkin - Widnes scholarship and signed from St Maries.
Harry Naughton- As above.
Brad Davies - Signed from Bold Miners and played foundation and 18's last year.
Ryan Stokes - Widnes scholarship and signed from West Bank Bears

.

Alex Brown will be our first lad from Runcorn to come through the scholarship and work his way through the ranks.

Not that I can see in the 18's but Jonny Youds has been on the bench for the reserves of late having been released by Salford.

Ex- Leigh scholarship isnt he ?

May be worth its own thread this one.

Just been confirmed on the official site (are they on the ball - or what?) that our 18s are in the top group for the second phase of the season. Fantastic news and what a boost for the licence application.

With regard to Leigh schloarship, I can only think maybe one or two of the Wigan based lads may have started there. If so, I wonder why they didn't stay there?

Well done, but the 18s where missing quite a few players that day
