I've heard two different stories about George Ford, one is he is contracted to Wigan and the other is he has signed for Bradford, which is true ?

Widnes have also signed alex gerrard of hindley, previously golborne. A strong 2nd rower. Solid as a rock in defence and strong as an ox.

Any relation to Chris Gerrard ?

I watched both England v AIS games on DVD recently and Ainscough was the most elusive player on either side. He scored 5 tries all of which were outstanding.
I think he looks the most exciting youngster coming through the Academy sides at Wigan.

Surprised Sean Ainscough hasn't been mentioned, he may be a couple of years away but he could be the best of the lot of them.
