Well we can breathe a little easier now that he seems nailed on to sign for Hull until the end of 2013! Phew!

i knew that just thought id wind u all up because i know how much you widnes fans love mcgoldrick

Re: Rumours : Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:48 am  

Glad not coming as he is very average.Thought be going to the Championship and surprised Hull want him.

Re: Rumours : Thu Jul 05, 2012 12:46 pm  

Got to agree with you there Ratters.... I'm well surprised he's gone to Hull on a long contract? Was a decent player back in 2007 in the Championship but I wouldn't swap either of our halves for him.

Well I would image we have done the following:


Signed but yet to be confirmed

Joe Mellor
Stefan Marsh
Danny Tickle

Rumoured to be signing

Francis Meli
Paul Clough
Bryn Hargreaves
Luke Robinson
Scott Grix
Unknown Aussie Half Back
Unknown Aussie Prop x2


Possibly Moving on

Steve Pickersgill
Ben Cross
Kurt Haggerty
John Kite


No way will we sign more than 5 imo for next season (not including Brown)

I hope we are keeping these two

Re: Rumours : Fri Jul 06, 2012 10:28 am  

doubt luke robinson will move, maybe scott grix though but cannot see tickle going from hull fc, surely he would go to a top 8 club.

Dont think there is any doubt that Tickle would be happy to come to us, where there appears to be doubt is whether Hull are prepared to sell him for an acceptable fee. Things may loosen up a little when Hull are able to announce a few decent signings of their own!

Allegedly Robinson asked for the same deal as Brown, which we are supposed to have declined, so this is supposed to have stopped things in their tracks, but its hard to know what is really going on behind the scenes. If we had signed all the players we were linked with for this season we would have a first team squad of 60 and have bust the cap by a couple of million!

Grix as you say is a more realistic target, since he has been with us in the Championship, but again i will wait to hear something more concrete.

Re: Rumours : Fri Jul 06, 2012 5:26 pm  

Ben Cross signs a one year contract extension.

Re: Rumours : Fri Jul 06, 2012 6:29 pm  

mcgoldrick could still be on the cards he has only signed with hull till the end of the season lol

To be fair if Widnes carry on the way they are, they will be a top 8 club next year.
