But in a way the 4 who are not wanted in SL are now first in the market for either a contract next season with another club or going to another club now on a transfer, rather than waiting till the end of the season and then not being offered a contract.

Obviously quite a few of the first team players knew they were not going to be in the SL squad.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

What Betts said about them, in the Echo, won't help them with getting another club. Plus, it smacked of "It's not me, it's all their fault. Blame them!". :cry:

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Quite bizzare decision , only one conclusion , an attempt to apportion blame and deflect it away from your real problem , so what happens if things dont improve ovr the next 3/4 games ? , another 4 go ? :CRAZY:

Still as long as you've got Dave Allen still there you'll be alright :lol:

As they have been ' released ' , they would be free to sign for another Championship club wouldn't they ? , oh dear , whats the odds at least one of them comes back to haunt you ?

Barrow for Super League 2015

I wouldn't mind seeing Thackeray at Barrow. Might be just the tonic to boost our under-performing bunch.
Although I've obviously seen him a few time, as Widnes fans, ho do you rate his kicking game ??

The thing that puzzles me is that your heirachy instantly go out and bring in a Wigan kid. Surely one of your own should be given a chance - at least for a few games. These young players are going to have to step up to SL from next year to make the first team, so it would make sense to give them game time in the Championship surely.

It's the only idea this coaching team can ever come up with. We played one of our academy lads at fullback against Batley, and he was our MOM. He'll probably be dropped for Halifax. :roll:

Near Toronto (but my heart's in Leigh)

Just be thankful you have a franchise or else Thursdays match would already be a relegation "four-pointer".

"Relegated to Super League - 2011" would look great on a T-shirt next season though..

With any luck, Wakefield will reach the play-offs and then be relegated, Crusaders and Quins may well be in the bottom three and stay up - what a complete farce!

Il say he hasn't got a kicking game but others may disagree with me on that.

In fairness to the club we are struggling a little in the halves so I can understand this dual regger more than the previous two where we did have kids ready. Grant Gore had his first game back for the reserves on Saturday and it seemed to take it out of him a hell of a lot so he ain't ready yet. Gilmore injured still and I don't think the others in the reserves will step up nor the ones in 18's ready yet.
