James said on Twitter yesterday that we are going to sign another permanent player next week, who do you think it will be? Could it be a ex player that has played for us recently?
I know but keeping secret. 🤣👍
Lawton
Although we now need a halfback so could be 2 new signings 😳😂 as JJ and Foz definitely aren’t halfbacks whatsoever but very good hookers.
No, hope Roberts is fit in a fortnight
If rumours are true next week's signing will be Lawton....on the injury crisis in the halves I wouldn't be too surprised to see kieron tyrer get signed who left Whitehaven this week
For the halfback option we’ve gotta be looking at the French league, there season has finished get someone in on a deal untill the end of the season these loans won’t work for us we need to bring our own player in… sure there’s plenty of ex super league and NRL quality there we could pick up for a few months lol
I'll make a guess that this might be Jayden Hatton, who has just been released by my club (Fev) "to pursue opportunities closer to his North-West home". It is likely to be either you or Swinton, anyway, and he's much betetr than League 1 level.
He hasn't played for us since the game at your place, when he looked a bit shakey in defence, unfortunately for Jayden centre is one of the few positions where Fev have quite a few options and that game cost him his place.
He's a decent Championship player and would be a good signing.
I, for one, was sorry to see him leave us. Wouldn't mind at all if he returned.

Much as I like Jayden, he's not a half and that's where we are desperate. The irony is, the Town has produced a plethora of 6s & 7s, yet only Widnes haven't benefitted from the 'production line'. That will probably change over the next few years, but sadly, that doesn't help us now.

Reading that the RFL have increased the number of allowable overseas signings to ten so just where are the GB players going to play?
Or is this leading up to the Championship being the GB game with SL elevated to 'international' ?
Like has previously been said there must be some halves that's recently played in the French elite that's worth a short term deal at least ..will be off contract...maybe a ford who admittedly is aging but will still have his basic skill set...or a gigot or escare that have done a bit at half back but FB by trade . personally I think tyrer will come in...my only concern with that is he was previously with us and didn't get any minutes so gaffer clearly doesn't rate him...or didn't then .... suspect it'll be either that or more nonsense one/two week loans ..
Yes understand where we are - my hope is that young roberts is fit and signs for the rest of the season, then you have a proper scrum half and a decent stand-off (patten)
the forwards are now a different batch that we started the season with
our big problem now is centres - reading the injury update Jack is probably out for the season, Fleming 2-3 weeks away so looks like roberts senior and edge are the only choices - I know Lloyd and the wire lad have played there but the other 2 are miles better
thoughts ?
