Has Cross signed for Widnes?

A 12 month contract would be a very clever deal

I understand your sentiments but great teams bring in kids a player or 2 a season. No more - unless you have exceptional kids.
This season we've added Charnley, and given Stef Marsh good experience. Last year saw Mossop and development of the Tomkins bothers and Macca.
Next year we will see who else comes in.

But unless theyre good enough to replace the guys with the jerseys - why rush it ?

Over the last decade we have rushed to bring in kids/new players as a panic measure whioch has done no-one any good.

Have faith.


I agree and have faith-hence my comments about trying out some of the younger lads.
I also agree that if you're good enough you're old enough.

You would think the ones to give extra game time next year are Joe Mellor assuming Deacon plays another year so we can mix Mellor in to maybe a third of the games when Deacon needs resting.

I'd also assume Jack Hughes would get a little bit more game time.

Ryan King could well mix in with George when George needs a rest, though the way George is playing he would be one of the first picks for any game if he can make the full 80.

Realistically we could have King and Marsh fighting to make the odd appearance when George cant back up in quick succession then come the end of the season we should know who can make that place his own (if either) when the sad time for George to leave comes.

I pretty much agree with your choice of the next cabs on the block - hughes, king and mellor - however isnt king a straight out and out winger ? how will he get game time without dropping paddy or josh ?
also how ready are logan, russell and murphy ? (will murphy leap frog stef marsh in the centre queue?)
Nice questions to have, and given some of these guys cover the much discussed FB, Centre and Hooker roles, they directly influence who we bring in from outside for next season.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?
