Seems he had verbally agreed the contract but once his home town club come calling there was only ever one choice. http://www.totalrl.com/index.php?showtopic=192758

Reading that thread it seems to link Liam Harrison strongly with Leigh?

Announcing someone as signed even though they havent signed a contract is always silly. Leigh have done it plenty of times and ended up with egg on faces.

That SRC is a right tool on the Barrow forum

"Widnes certainly like to beg, borrow and steal their team don't they !

Even more reason to put one up Cullen and co. next season"


All as i can say to that is bring it on Matey, and while your at it explain the beg, borrow and steal comments.

Good signing for Widnes. Solid and dependable. Next year is going to be great. Good to see the Barrow fans a bit upset as all they seem to do is say they should be in SL or go gobbing off or trolling on here or on the Fax Forum.

"I have ambitions of returning to Super League and I think that by rejoining the Vikings I have a great chance of fulfilling them in 2012."

Is it just me or does every player who's signed for us in the last few years say words to this effect? Do they give 'em a card to read from or summat? I mean it's nice to hear but it's getting a bit Stepford now!

I personally think he should go and report it to the cry police.

The vast majority of the current Widnes squad won't be playing in SL in 2012. The first wave of signings for SL will happen in 2010/11 and then the rest prior to the start of the 2012 season. A couple in the squad now may make it as bench warmers. SOC's not going to pump all that money in just to see his club messing about down the bottom with Salford & Celtic.

Thats were the youth structure comes in, the below should be primed for Super League if and when it happens.


Paddy Flynn
Anthony Thackery
Ben Kavanagh
Danny Hulme
Anthony Mullally
Dave Allen
Thomas Coyle
Dave Houghton
Shayne Grady
Dean Thompson
Steve Pickersgill (will be 26)

Im not saying all will make it but we have some cracking youngsters in that lot.

Whats the odds that Barrow replace him with Fletcher?
