They do seem to be signing mostly Widnes Vikings or Widnes born players...Foz and Bott from us and possibly a quartet from current Widnes squad...

Watched Our League launch last night and they said Sadiq Adebiyi is out injured.

Is this true?

God I hope not! We need Big Sid.

At least we have some depth at prop, if Sid is out!!



I am finding it tough to get excited for this season. The squad lacks the depth and quality to challenge imho. Our pack was understrength and underpowered last season, without sounding unkind, it is in worse shape this season. I am surprised we have not added some beef up front. Im not too worried fans are not able to attend, I am in no rush!!!

On the one hand the club is supposedly very ambitious for a return to SL and is moving ground to enable that and on the other we have a squad with obvious gaps in depth and quality. These things don't really add up to form a coherent plan.

we don't have a get to SL squad, we have a "hope we can pinch a place in the playoffs, and see what happens at that point squad". I'm afraid that type of squad is not going to attact the punters the club seem to think it will get.



i would not be surprised if the plan is to just try to muddy along in lower playoff places, then bring in a couple of SL loan players to push in the playoffs with a larger and better squad, but I don't think current squad is enough to even hit 5th or 6th once we get injuries (as we will)
