Michael Platt!!!!!! He'll be bouncing off those concrete barriers in no time!

Epalahame Lauaki. He’s building up to play almost 8 minutes either side of half time but there are question marks as to whether he can do such a long stint

Looks like Josh Johnson is a done deal. I hope we are not just grasping at straws with this one. Widnes don't seem too bothered about losing him. I think he has played at about 8 or 9 clubs in his career.

In fairness to him it’s 5 clubs officially but he’s been shipped about on loan or DR a lot.

I think it’s a handy addition if it comes off. I’d rather have him than no one put it that way

Surprised if Widnes think Ant Walker is a better bet than Johnson.

What makes us say Widnes aren’t bothered about losing him?

Supporters on their forum don't rate him but that may be sour grapes.

Re: Transfer talk : Fri Jan 27, 2023 5:26 pm  

From the media it just looks like a simple a case of he wants to be closer to his home in West Yorkshire. Likely to do with work etc. Widnes ain't going to get a transfer fee at this level so its just about getting best possible deal for them. Reporting that there's an agreement he can't play them in the season.

I don't think it's a case Widnes don't want him.

In effect we have swapped Ant Walker for Josh Johnson. Got to be the best transfer deal in history!!!
