Who is Dom Crosby enlighten me matey. To be honest i think some of the youngsters are better than some first teamers, as Craven proved when was given a chance.

Dual contract signing from Wigan that I imagine will be announced shortly. 19 year old prop who has been their 18th man for the past few weeks.

We have Frodsham on loan from Saints who has only played once and Dave Houghton going well in reserves so were not in need of any DR tbh!

I would sooner they brought back Ben Davies, he is only on a months loan at Barrow. He played well for us last season and he does appear to be out of favour at Wigan.

Has anybody seen Dom Crosby play?If as good as Ben Davies then i be happy.The u20 valvoline reserves is a higher standard than our reserve league.Hey i look forward to Widnes sending our youngsters out on dual registration next year.

Crosby was the BIG improver in Wigans U20 championship winning team last year, especially when you consider that was his first year as a semi pro and was better than Ben Davies.

His performances were so good that Wigan have given a full time contract this year. He reminds me very much of a young Terry O'Connor.

Rogues Gallery if that is the case i welcome him on board to Widnes.We need to start winning some forward battles in the next few weeks to get a good league postion.

You heard it here first



Rogues knows what he's on about by the way. I'd been told myself that Crosby is a better prospect than Davies, but thought it best to leave to the expert
