I know this is a difficult subject but it would be nice to have the opportunity to dine at the top table .....

As a club if Halifax are going to really push on then you need superleague status and the money that comes with it. Its also about management of them resorces from there.

Lets be honest Widnes do not have a decent coach - maybe what we should be asking if for example Brian Noble was coach would he get better from the squad - Betts was a poor championship coach so he was never going to cut it at SL. If we look at Fax last year we were shipping lots of points, in comes Noble and the defence looked 100 times better after one week ..... or another example would be Saints were they really playing for Simmons ......

Another point is would a current squad like at Fax or Fev do any better now than Widnes are doing with there squad ?????

Quote: Nat (Rugby_Aholic) "I don't see why anyone would want to watch more years of Championship rugby. Win or Loose the games mean nothing, there is no sense of achievement. The Grand Final was a great day out and I was on a high for a few weeks after but then it was just back to zero, all reset and go again.
As long as there is nothing to play for I will not be as interested in the games as I once was. This off-season I even thought twice about getting a season ticket. Several of my friends don't go to games any more, most of them supporters since they were born. I am slowly loosing interest in the club, even two years ago this would have been unthinkable for me. I have even started going to the odd Giants game. All this through no fault of the club, the on field product is better than it has been in years. It is just when I am at games I find my self struggling to get exited about a win and I am careless about a loss. The exceptions are games like the Fev NRC game, where the game itself provides the excitement, but those games are few and far between.

Whilst I agree with everyone's comments about our survivability in SL, I would rather the club try and fail than slowly die and become just another Championship club playing in front of 500 fans.'"



This is a candidate for most depressing post of the year.

Quote: salfordlad "Well I love the game and will follow my team to the end depite the fact that I think I might last longer.

Franchising/licensing has effectively disallusioned too many who always have had the need to see their team at the top table but realise under this current system it will never happen.

I fear the gap is now too wide and is unbridgeable and Bradford's difficulties not to mention a couple of other Non Relegation league clubs will mean the pro game is up and only about 10 teams (max) will survive.

Maybe that was the intention all along ? Whichever Championship club you support do you honestly think you will ever be able to watch them at Wembley in a Challenge Cup Final for example.

Re the previous post maybe but I fear this has gone on too long to make a difference.'"


I genuinely think this licensing farce along with dual registration is to introduce feeder clubs by the back door, like how they operate in Australia. Same old, same old. Copy the Aussies to try and beat them but we're at least 5 years behind the times.

And every team outside of these divisions will fade and disappear, and then we'll be back to the old division 1 & 2 as it was before Stupor League.
