He started sending them three years ago.






Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Ha ha Monkeyman, Gaskell has been oustanding for us and Toa Balboa is a good centre at this level. Varkulis also ex wire is going well.






Love a brew.

Vic King has it right on the other forum...
If he fails then we as a club have failed so why don't we try something novel and support this move rather than look forward to the 'I told you so opportunity..'

It's upset some supporters but in the main because he is a former wire.. and the word former is of the upmost importance.
As for his record... if we fail as Warrington failed then I will be ecstatic because it means that we will be up and challenging in SL and falling at the last hurdle of winning something. At the moment the prospect of that is very enticing.

I am not trying to put forward an i told you so attitude if he fails, it's just a opinion of one very disapointed old school fan.I think you will find i am not alone too.

I agree - I know hes not everyone's 1st choice (including me), but now that he's been appointed, all we can do is give him the support and see how it goes.

I was with you initially 1977 before the appointment, in fact if you knew me personally would be well aware of my stance with all things Wire. Widnesian through and through. If you came to my house you'd think you were in the Museum with all the Widnes stuff I have. 8)

However, I think that if we want him to do well then we need to wipe the slate clean and judge him with performances on the pitch. If I am taking a narrow view all we need to do is reach win two semi-finals in a row since according to the "rules" (and I use that term liberally) the teams in the 2009 and 2010 finals are eligible for SL. I don't think 2011 final counts as the decison will have been made. (I stand corrected). Theoretically if we do that based on those "rules" then potentially there are only two other sides which can challenge us for an SL spot. Very much an elimination process on that basis.

Anyway, If I'm looking long term and doing a Paul Terzis (i.e. beyond :lol: ) he has attracted the Johns's of this world to SL (backed by money) and if he can do that when we get back in SL then I'm a happy bunny. I just hope that he has learnt from his mistakes as Warrington coach particulary on the discipline side. I'd be very worried if we brought Briers in, not a rumour just an opinion. He was always out on the mickey in the Chapel House much to the annoyance of PC.

Like it or lump it we have him and the best we can do is give the man our support.






This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history.

I thought it was Widnes?

[quote="BIGAL1"]All games are winnable, whats hard to understand about that.

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]
