Postponed-not good...

If you need you're fix Griff should be a decent game at POR.

These Widnes games should be expunged.





Then we'd be two points clear at the top.

Griff we are down to play Widnes 3 times this season , playing them in the Blackpool Bash.But I truly hope they sort something out.

Forgive me if this is a bit uncool/too soon, but... Thinking about Halifax's interests, is there anyone that we would want? They're going to be offloading as many players as they can, as quickly as they can.



For me I'd have taken Tangata back if he was fit. And of course Gelling but there'll be bigger clubs in for him.

Charlie, there's always a muggins coming along.

Tangata is likely out for about 4 months so realistically could get him pretty cheap although im not sure he would want to play under marshall. Other than that Craven is the obvious one but given Marshall had chance previously to sign him and also sees no problems in our key positions he will probably try and sign a couple of their back rowers.

Don't think there will be any cash to sign Widnes players - Craven would be a stand out signing for any Championship club.

Yes I heard that we had chance to sign Craven a few season ago, heard we offered Part Time terms of circa £20K and additional training/employment from one of our sponsors. At the same time London were offering him in region of £60K on FT contract, but he declined both.

The thing is, as we know from Bradford and Leigh, players start to want to leave and find new clubs as soon as they can which only compounds the clubs problems. It almost every season now that some club ands up in a mess like this. Im so glad the RFL are promoting clubs like Toronto because soon there will be no heartland clubs left. And what an insult it is to Widnes that the Toronto boss said he would buy them if they relocated to Liverpool ! Tosser!

The players, especially if they're full-time, have problems of their own to overcome.



These problems are not of their own making. Unlike the club, where the problems are generally entirely of the club's own making. The players shouldn't be asked to "rally round".

Im not by any means saying that the RFL are great, but it annoys me when people use these situations to criticise the RFL. This situation was caused by poor management at Widnes, as most of their own fans point out on their forum.

RFL are often an easy scapegoat. But James Rule was allowed to get involved despite having 9 months to run on a ban. And who is exactly is auditing the club's to make sure they are run correctly/legally? Self inflicted by RFL have a job to protect the game as a whole which this affects.



We are really feeling the affects of a decade + of Nigel Wood.
