Widnes Vikings academy players

[dibviking]

There is a rumour around Widnes that Brisbane have signed one of our academy players and on the verge of signing another, Anthony Mullally a man mountain of a prop or second row has apparently signed and Alex Brown a lightening quick fastest winger iv seen in a long time but poor in defence has an offer.

Our director of rugby Paul Cullen recently spent a month in australia during the four nations to check out coaching methods and other stuff, on his return the club have said we are going to be sending alot of our juniors over to oz to gain experience to make them better players.

Anybody heard anything your end??

sorry haven't heard anything, wait for big pete he will probably know more

Hope it's true about Mullally, i think he would go well in the under 20's comp. He's a big bloke and goes forward well.
Alex Brown is only 17 so would play in the SG Ball equivalent (Meninga Cup) ?

I don't have any official ties with the club nor have I seen it reported anywhere.

dib - Your best bet is asking over at RLeague, Hanc and Sarge do have some inside knowledge. Thanks for sharing this with us though and I hope it's true as you've picked a great year to send your players to the Broncos Under 20's, our new coach has a lot of experience in the junior leagues and is among one of the best junior coaches in the game.

Sorry for the ignorance, but who's the new coach?

 

[Big Pete]

Kurt Richards, former Keebra Park coach.

What i meant was that you always seemed to know all of the signings the Broncos made so i thought you may have heard of these two guys.

 

[Big Pete]

Ha and trust me I appreciated the comment but I had to be honest. I just do a bit of research is all.

 

[Steve_oneskie]

fair enough

 

[dibviking]

hi, thanx for the replies. i have a bit more info which almost confirms Mulally signing for the broncos this yr, apparently its a done deal pending on the visa, if it comes off its great for him and great for brisbane as he is a monster of a player with bags of potential.

here is a link to the widnes forum http://www.trustinwidnes.com/forum/index.php/topic,32161.0.html

Well done to Brisbane and Widnes for making this happen, Mullally is a big prop with lots of potential so hopefully the stint with the Broncos can add a bit of polish to his game.

Good to see Mullally has his own blog

yea hope he goes well against the gold coast, in pre season he was probably our best prop so i think he has the nutrients make it to the top, only downside of this deal is if he turns out to be class and can get a contract over there why would he want to come back

 

[Big Pete]

Cheers for the updates guys, we're going to have a few members at the game so hopefully they can tell you how he went.
