Strange especially Thackery after they fought to keep him pre-season.

Get thacks and Ford signed up here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would anybody let Paul Cullen near their team. How can anybody work with him when nobody can decipher the crap that comes out of his mouth.

Their recruitment has been poor for the past few years. Wonder who will be advising them on the players they need for next year? If Fax go up in July I expect us to find better players even though we may not have a bigger budget than them.

What do you mean maybe?

This is a decision that has baffled about 90% of Widnes fans... Even if they agree that Thackray is not SL standard the timing of the announcement is incredible. There are some who would be delighted with this news if it meant that one of Gilmore, Gore or Craven are given an opportunity but all three are injured or only just returning from injury.

I suspect there is more to this than meets the eye but we will probably never know.
Anyway... there goes our one attacking spark for this Thursday so look forward to your first win.

Cullen got us into SL and made sure you didn't.

I couldn't see your lot going for Darren Lockyer (even though we got turned down

) or Matty Bowen (who were still waiting for). Oh, don't forget Tim Sheens (who also turned us down

)

think we will go there and win we normally motivate ourselves more for widnes (frustratingly) its the monday match that worries me. we should win but.... well the rest is predictable fax stuff

What?!?!?

It was on FOX News in Australia.

If you play against Widnes like you did against us you will beat them , they just cannot take any sort of pressure , just keep running at Allen and he will either fall over or give you a penalty , no doubt Gannon will be well up for it , will Ben Black be available for this one ?
