Well if a u23s that be better as some decent players around 21 and 22 not given a chance.If Championship clubs involved it help players like Gerrard etc.Thankyou for your imput.What do you think of Chris Bridge as a centre?A few people debating about him on the Widnes Trust site.

Yes chris is an excellent centre i always thought that he was better there than half back or fb he has ability to beat a player and provide a killer pass but at half back often comes up short does not have the vision.

Some decent signings and you should be a dramatically improved team.

centre is bridges position he has covered at half back and covered at full back but his natural position is centre

Re: 2013 Squad : Tue Aug 28, 2012 6:55 pm  

when we brought him infrom bradford he was played at half back not as cover but as a half back. they tried to develop him in that position then he spent a while at full back n eventually to the centre where he played for bradford.

I gues he suffers a bit from jack of all trades can fill in at various positions but excells in one.

hmm the only other position i think he could go well in is loose forward but stick at centre

There has been talk he's been offered a much better deal than he is on currently elsewhere. Though I hope they had the clubs permission first with him having one year to go

I hope he stays anyway and no doubt once 2013 recruitment is pretty much done new deals will be looked at.

He's contracted for next season so won't be going anywhere.

don't think allen will be warrington bound we are abundent with forwards in our acadamy and around the first team the only forward we are signing or "have signed already" is bateman

Re: 2013 Squad : Fri Aug 31, 2012 7:46 pm  

You're recruitment is far from finished, apparently a signing being announced this weekend. And Tickle still not sorted whether he is moving for next year or the one after, that's in Hull's hands. The two may be connected.
