You've just signed him on a seasons long loan deal for 2015.

Burst into our team a couple of years ago with lots of promise but failed to live up to it since. Hopefully for him its a chance to rebuild his career and see if he can 'kick on' elsewhere.

I feel this move will become permanent as he has no real future at Leeds as we have too many 2nd rowers and some kids with more potential waiting in the wings

I am not sure what to think of this signing, as I quiet liked Dave Allen. Leuluai and Isa are hatchet men, and not really competition for Tickle and Galea. We need some extra size in the forwards and a centre a priority for me. Hopefully Declan Hulme can step up, as Marsh and Phelps spend more time in the Physio room than on the pitch.

He's had a fair amount of experience with Leeds but appears to have gone a little stale, hopefully this move will see him kick on similar to what Paul Mcshane did with his spell with us, we needed to replace Allen and Chris is a good replacement.

Would love another big prop to come in and then i think that will be it, Declan Hulme should get a bit more game time next season.

Good player IMO. Will do well and to me is a symptom of one of the ills of GB RL. Good young player forsaken at Leeds for good Aussie (Delaney). He'll get a good run at Widnes and prove his worth.

Guys , if he can't get in the Leeds team before Achurch and Stevie Ward he is not up to much

A good signing for Widnes , a solid player who always puts a shift in , often unnoticed . Seemed to fall out of favour at Leeds .

Hopefully will train on with your club , I wish him well and hope the move works out for him .
