Looking at the injury update, we will struggle to name a 21 man squad- no doubt injured players will be named in that

good to see hall back - he may make a difference

Lyons back at 6 is an improvement on Jack, but not the best

where are the new signings ?

If you ever get a chance go on Widnes Rugby chat with James Gordon and Mike Parsons. The latest episode 17 they chat to Alan Coleman and in talks with players, but we all know players have agents and it will be what club offers the best deal. The reason we got Foz is because on a 3 year deal and many other clubs were interested in him. Hopefully we find some more sponsors, WVIPs members, so to offer more than other clubs mate. Hopefully we sign some soon, but I have a feeling the dual and loan system will be used this weekend.

Thankful that Langtree is a pec rather than shoulder. Hard to rush the recovery but not so likely to finish a career.

Similar to the injury suffered by Tom Gilmore, at York when he first re-signed in 2023. He was out for 4/5 months IIRC, and needed an op.

@pascal Crusaders train at Widnes and previously standish. There is only 1 Welsh born player in the squad.

With the latest injury update, if all the maybes like Maizen are fit we have 17 players. Plus the 2 loan lads from Warrington and York. 19 just isn't enough.

Guessing we may try to extend Lawtons 2 week loan with the loss of Kirk and Langtree.

No word on the permanent signing mentioned to replace Reilly yet.

Shade thrown by Love RL today:

“Earlier this week, the Vikings announced that he would be departing the club due to logistical reasons, stating that the 28-year-old had asked for a release due to the demands of travelling alone following the release of car-share buddy Martyn Reilly.

Now though, as he drops into League 1 for the first time in his career, Kirk is set for an even longer journey with Midlands based in Birmingham.“

Was this you @Flash getting a dig in??? 😀 Bravo! 👍

Bent is no prop, 5m carries aren't enough. Lawton far to lazy in defence and attack. I'd take Farnworth back. I hope we sort the prop situation out as it's been an issue for a few years. I'm seriously considering not renewing my season ticket next year. I can't get to every game and see it as a donation as such for the club, but I'm starting wonder whether I should bother after giving Coleman a 2yr deal, more of the same next year?
