Widnes throw a lifeline to Moran
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Widnes have signed the scrum-half, Dennis Moran, as part of a triple swoop on Wigan. The Australian was released last week to make way for Michael Dobson at the JJB, but has been recruited for the rest of the season by the National League One promotion candidates.
"I've said all along that we are looking to bring quality players into this club and Dennis is a prime example," the Widnes coach, Steve McCormack, said.
Widnes' previous overseas player, David Peachey, who was sacked by the club's chairman, Stephen Vaughan, for going home to visit his sick step-father, has described his treatment as "heartless". He has now joined South Sydney.
Widnes have also signed two forwards on a month's loan from Wigan. Jordan James and Oliver Wilkes were both recruited by the previous Warriors coach, Ian Millward, during an injury crisis. All three are in line to make their debuts at York this Sunday.
The St Helens and former Great Britain forward, Paul Anderson, is to join Huddersfield as assistant coach when he retires from playing at the age of 35 at the end of this season.
The Australian club, Parramatta, have announced that their back-row forward, Glen Morrison, is joining Bradford on a three-year contract next season.
