No money - no franchise. Everything else is a foot note.

And six or seven? In the squad or playing regularly? Either way - if that's the case you'll be everyone's biatches. You're not far off that now!! Thankfully for you, SOC's cheque book will be an open book.

A Super League squad will consist of around 27 players with 6 yoof, i doubt they will play that much but if they do then so be it. The shay will have no atmosphere without the visiting Vikings.

Maybe not straight away but there is some real talent in that list of names.

We shall see.

I am saving that list Vikingman - and will assess it's progress over the next four years (not that any of you will give a flying shoite of it's outcome when you're battling it out with Wigan with your team full of A list stars bought by SOC - the great deliverer.

Yes Fax will still be in The Lower League and I'll still be here watching them.

Ridiculous statement to make on a message board.

By the way - change your bedroom curtains - you've had the same ones now for five years and I'm bored of staring at the Burberry pattern.

Yoof yoooooooooooooooooooffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Tom Kelly,Houghton,Lawton,and a few others will make it if playing around better players fulltime.We have a talented halfback in the u16s.Nobody thought Myler would become a star and others will follow.Grady,Kelly,Lunt,Thompson,Houghton,and smith have done well this year in the first team.Mullaley playing well in reserves and has not been given a chance because of offield problems.

That's not strictly true... There were quite a few people that worked with him in the youth teams and they always believed that he had potential star quality. These people worked hard with him to nurture that talent and were upset that he turned his back so quickly on them and the club.

These same people have now spotted one or two more players that they are as equally excited about who they are confident will be making the step up.

Just on the topic of Holroyd. I think it would have been a decent signing for Widnes. I realise we have people coming back from injury but Holroyd is a decent player at this level with a good kicking game. The sort of player who could be rotated with an up and coming halfback and take some of the pressure away from Thacks...

anyway it's done and dusted now...

Re: OAP club adds a new member : Fri Jun 25, 2010 1:34 pm  

Thankfully, I believe quite a few of the u16's have signed at Widnes including Tom Gilmore, who I understand was wanted by both Warrington and Saints. I would think the aim is to keep them at Widnes until the end of next year and see how the licence application decision goes. If we get in SL there's no reason for any of the youngsters to go anywhere.

Regarding Mullally, anyone any update on his 'situation'? PM me if you prefer as can understand it is a delicate situation.

What i meant mate is players are not known till abit later.For example Tom Gilmore,Hulme,Kelly,Mullaley could end up decent Superleague players.Not all youth players make it, but i think alot will end up at least half decent championship players.Hope we get a licence, otherwise all this youth set up will be a waste of money if they get picked up from us.
