We’ve got Andrew Badrock a second rower from Leigh for the rest of the season. Hope it’s not like warrington season long loans and last more than 1 match 🙄
Ex Swinton, lets get ready to rumble
Good to see the squad growing a bit but would have preferred a prop.
Langtree out injured so a direct cover for him, we still have Bailey out on loan so we have a prop returning soon I believe
Good signing, much needed - has Bailey played much for hunslet?
I will check
Widnes Lions what's going on it's dejavu we need props, yet year in year out we load the team with back rowers.Ex Swinton, lets get ready to rumble

I agree need 2 props to replace Reilly and Kirk. Badrock a replacement for Langtree and he isn't a bad player to be fair. Anyone know how long Langtree is out for injured?
We have cover for the 3 injured players, Maizen at FB meaning Owens covers for Flemming at centre. Badrock direct replacement for Langtree and Towse for Ince. Plus Mcquirter for Lannon at 13.
However with Bailey on loan we have 2 props in the entire squad, Murray and Bennion. Bennion has been in and out of the side, he's made the step up from Rochdale/ Swinton and it hasn't worked out in my opinion. To let both Riley and Kirk go mid season while under contract and playing regularly is bonkers. Both not setting the division on fire, but you need big bodies in the middle.
To then announce Luke Thomas for the rest of the season and that a quality replacement for Reilly is imminent, for then both not to happen makes us look amateur.
Lawton and Mcquirter will have to step up to thr front row. The problem being you can't do that vs York, Toulouse, Oldham and then at the end of July Bradford and expect to compete for the full 80 and win.
What is a waste of time is mugs like us trying to second guess our strengths and chances when everything changes so quickly.
Better not to bother with names just use A.N. Other etc!!!!

All these loans are because of poor recruitment it happens every season we are literally the only club that lets players leave halfway through the season. You can’t rely on loans and dual reg we know that and it’s nothing new so can’t understand why the club keep making the same stupid mistake year after year, this lad will be back at Leigh next week lol
@johng well we’re definelyy not ‘the only team’ although frustratingly we do seem to do it more than others.
however this season - Sheffield, Fev and Oldham all done the same thing in similar circumstances from week 3 of the season
Halifax are run on DR. They had similar recruitment numbers as us. It's all about juggling pennies, we don't have pound coins to throw about.

We are all aware of the pound coins it's about how you spend them.Halifax are run on DR. They had similar recruitment numbers as us. It's all about juggling pennies, we don't have pound coins to throw about.

Danny Richardson is a Widnes lad struggling for game time could be worth getting on loan.
