Our latest signing is Sam Brooks, who (amongst others) has your mob on his CV.

Top acquisition for us for next term, and a more than decent replacement for Bennion who followed Mazey to 'Ornits.

Also, on a different matter. it looks like the Autumn Cup, or whatever it's called, is dead in the water. A min of eight clubs are needed to make it viable, and it looks like it's gonna be (well) short of that figure.

Brooks never really had an extended run here, but I think is a decent Champ prop.

The Autumn Cup is just riddled with uncertainty, so no wonder so many have swerved it..

The Geronimo that I know about was a great leader and fighter. Don’t know anything about the new Swinton signing except he is a Kiwi.

I don't think many Swinton fans had heard of him till yesterday mate, but.........

What a moniker to have eh?

His name has endless possibilities for songs!

Really looking forward to seeing him in a Lions' shirt.

Spelly I see Adam Lawton played 4 games for you in 2019. How did he shape up?

He played against us in 2019, can’t remember if it was at Swinton or Rochdale, he played quite well for 10-20 minutes, then he went off knackered! Hopefully he’ll be fitter at Widnes.

Yeah mate. Lions 10-106 Leeds. A grim day!

One bit of light relief that afternoon, was the scoreboard. Gigg Lane had an electronic one, but it only went as far as double digits, and at the end it read: Lions 10-06 Leeds.

Iestyn Harris landed 17 out of 18 conversions. If he'd been a little less accurate, we could poss have avoided the ton, but c'est la vie mes amis!
