Bit disrespectful to the 2 lads that, Matty Fletcher is a fine forward, works his nackers off , played for us at Oldham before doing very well at Cru.

Wasn't meant to be disrespectful 

 

[G.B.]

Not sure that many had heard of Andrew Badrock or Jordy Gibson before they signed for us last year, or going a little further back Matty Ashton , Frankie Halton, Louis Brogan, Jack Hansen, Mike Butt, Andy Ackers or Chris Atkin .We  have quite a record in developing young players.

 

 

[Haven Rugby League]

Romeo signed for Haven any good?? 

[Neutralfan7]

Any info on Joey Romeo? Just signed for Haven, wondering what you guys think of him?

[Mark]

If you check back in this thread I think everyone would have kept him at swinton for next season if they had the chance 

[Sailaway]

Today's signing is Jack Houghton a forward who has had several seasons with North Wales Crusaders.

Has anyone seen the NWC players in action?

Well Dec Patton certainly has the pedigree with lots of experience - a great signing well done to everyone involved

He's a good player is Jack. Played his junior rugby at Clock Face Miners in the same team as Lewis Hatton. He then signed up for Widnes academy before signing for Cru.

Daniel Spencer-Tonks has signed from Whitehaven 

[wayner]

Will be interesting to see all the new faces - looks like lots of competition in the forwards - I think we need some more backs 

[Mark R]

Mikey Wood now 

 

 

[Mark]

Rhys Williams tonight  

[Mark]

Joe Pucell from Rochdale, full back and half back 

[Mark]

Its all gone a bit quiet, notice that Widnes annoucned Nick Gregson at weekend and Halifax announced Olly Davies 

[Sailaway]

Alan Kilshaw's assistant coaches Darren Abram and Paul Anderson announced today.

[wayner]

I was wondering where Nick Gregson had gone.........will be interesting when we play Widnes

[Mark]

Interesting choice to hav a current players dad as assistant, hes got plenty of expereince though so lets hope it goes well

[wayner]

Aston does it at Sheffield - maybe that's why Hansen wasn't  a regular starter last season ?

[Urge]

Does anybody recognise these players from the training video?

Middle one looks like Jack Wells 

[Urge]

I was thinking left could be Aaron York from Hunslet, he was on their leavers list?
