Releasing Ben Roberts gives us an overseas spot and Jordan Rankin hasn’t been signed permanently yet so we could make that two if we wanted. A little bit of manouvering with some of the fringe players and we could be in a great position to overhaul the squad with an emphasis on quality in the starting 17. Doing this might take us into next season but personally I would rather that than jump in with stop-gaps now that tie our hands in the future.
Aston and Maher and Egodo all need to be released end of year.

Then we decide who to keep between Ellis and Rankin as cover for Gale and Trueman.

Personally id get rid of both and go after Hastings to be the long term replacement of Gale

Got my vote!

Rather than waste your outlay of hard earned cash XP - maybe you could take the aforementioned garment back to the shop and ask them to replace the "e" with an "a"?

You could then wear it as a kind of dirty protest to demonstrate how vexed you are with the whole shebang....?

Just an idea...

With respect to overseas spots... I appreciate that Rankin takes up a full spot, however what about Roberts?

Are the Samoan / Togan / Cook Island players a full spot, or a portion of...? I seem to recall reading they were classed as Kolpak, or similar, and as they were technically a tier 2 nation in RL terms their players didn't command the same weight on the overseas register as, say, an Aussie or Kiwi.

Anyone know the definitive answer for 2019?

Moors
JSL
Millington

So Tuesday goes by without a murmur let's see what today brings, or not more than likely.

Kind of depends what WIdnes situation is now to be honest.

Gelling, for whatever you think on the field had a pretty long and successful stint with Wigan a specialist Centre. So ticks that box.

Widnes could be offloading people, but equally the gold for all clubs is younger fans and Gelling is worth a lot more on Twitter and Insta (I use neither) because he does have a big profile and engages young people.
If their primary demographic is 40+ for instance, he is worth a lot more over 3 seasons than just the on field. I think he is valuable on an off field, if used well. (not sure how our age profile is of paying people)

So, how desperate are WIdnes to save money, or are they now in a position to try and build on for next year? I have no idea what their individual situation is or their financial position.

Difference is gelling is posting stuff about his club, Solomona was silent.
Let’s move on, ain’t happening....yet.

Widnes are not paying Gellings contract, a sponsor is paying it , so it makes no difference to Widnes selling him.
