Seeing as Deano's from Wigan, I would hazzard a guess she's probably from Wigan too. So really you meant to say nice Wigan lass instead??

Not sure where she's from, but you could be right, she had a wigan twang to her voice, and what a voice it was. I feel really sorry for Deano having to put up with it. She swore continually throughout the game and her mate had a kid with her, what sort of a role model will she be????

But I do concede she is probably not a widnes lass. We were sat next to some widnes fans who were really nice people, so I shouldnt tar everyone with the same brush

Your young 'uns did very well last night!

I thought Craven was superb! Your best by a distance.

Gannon on the other hand....

They'll never see Super League. Never. Like Fax's youth team of three years ago - just not good enough. You need 25 brand new players in 2012, seriously.

That is a big statement Rich and I think you will be way off the mark.
I thought Craven looked one of the best players on the pitch last night despite playing out of position. His tackle on Frank Whatshername was amazing. A star for the future. Out of the others Flynn will be with us in SL and I think Grady might too. Not sure about Houghton. Not one of his better displays last night but he's done enough in the past for me to think he will be a good squad player and who knows if he keeps improving.
There are a set of lads currently in the 18's now that are set to be given first team numbers next year and we have some very very exciting prospects in there.

Next year they will be another year older and another year wiser.
I'm not saying that we will be a team completely dominated by players from these sides but the ball is rolling.

The young' uns need a full time environment to kick on more.

I wrote on the other site that I would love us to go with a small group of 10-12 young players on full time deals for next year and add in some decent part timers. I think we'd see the younger lads come on in leaps and bounds from that but I dare say the salary cap implications are unworkable.

Hard to tell with the younger guys as to who would make it because as ive put earlier they have so much more development in them and especially in a full time environment.

So long as they continue to develop which I think they have as the season has progressed then we can be quyite happy with that. We do have to be careful of ruining players though. Shane Grady had played every game upto the last two and it was starting to tell as he was knackered.

Have a word with yourself, you give it, you have to take it.

well he was nothing to do with it at the start, was he, untill he steamed in from distance. even then he coluldn't do it face to face. was a knob when he was here - see things haven't changed. as has been mentioned elsewhere, he bleated like hell for ages when haggy got him ealier in the season. what goes around comes around - and i suspect that he's gonna be in some more bother at red hall for his actions.

Another good game for us for Barlow, bin very good for us since signing.
Weird game really even at twelve down I couldn't see us struggling against a very poor widnes team. You just knew as soon as we completed our sets we would have far too much class and in the end we won it at a canter without really breaking a sweat.
