League Weekly says we're poised to sign him for next season.

Fantastic talent.

Another BR ? I would have thought winger or possibly centre would have been more likely. Or perhaps TS is going to turn him into a dual BR / Wing.

Looking at the press reports Whitley seems to have been in dispute with Widnes re salary for a contract extension (post 2018), so perhaps the story has legs.

I think it's highly likely this will be Westwood's last season so he could be a replacement for him.

From what I've seen of him he looks the perfect replacement. He has a brilliant engine on him.

I wonder where TS sees Livetts' position in the squad - BR or SO / centre ? If he has moved for Whitley I get the feeling it is one of those opportunistic situations. A bit like going around Tesco with your grocery list, then finding a special offer on vodka and not being able to resist it.

Where does George Williams fit in?

I think TS sees him as a prop in the longer term, but he could play BR as well of course

Re: Matt Whitley : Thu Feb 23, 2017 6:35 pm  

Never heard of him

Re: Matt Whitley : Fri Feb 24, 2017 10:49 am  

yay we have no real quality in the wing centre position so lets buy yet another second rower !!!!

Can he tackle?

If he can, sign him tonight
