Though it's not nailed on that TWP will breeze through the play offs. This is RL after all - what price another side with slim hopes of competing in SL and with a low fan base getting the jump on them once more?
Whatever, it looks like being a vibrant comp again & am looking forward to seeing how it pans out.'"
Widnes have Toronto away first game of this season, in NEWCASTLE. Hopefully catch them off guard early on but it's all about the play offs end of season. widnes 1-13 will be able to challenge for promotion but once we get injuries, we don't have sufficient quality to bring in, TWP have. Bradford are a bit of an unknown but will get great crowds so i wont be surprised to see them make the play offs. I'm not a fan of expansion but if TWP to up this year i hope for the sake of the game that they last it out. Some great rugby teams from the heartland: Leigh, Widnes, Halifax, Featherstone, Bradford who just cannot compete financially with the likes of the canadians.
If SL does eventually continue to go in the way of expansion with the likes of Catalans, Toulouse, London and Toronto, I'd be happy starting a break off championship league
