For 2017 the C1 SC was increased to the lower of 50% of (relevant) income or £1.85m. |

What I would like to know is if they go into superleague were are the 20+ quality players going to come from to replace these existing average players. |

I did say quality players, at the moment Toronto have a lot of ex Leigh, Salford and Saints rejects around 10 players at the last count. Will they be really an expansionist team if there are no canadian players in it.
Another alternative is to change the name of Widnes to Toronto that would save a lot of logistic hassle. |

When football teams get promoted to the Premiership do they suddenly have a full squad of Premier League quality players straight away? |

That doesn't my question though were are these players coming from. If like in the premiership they don't get them they will go back down again. |

It's a problem for whichever side goes up really. The player pool for the whole sport just isn't big enough. Which is why we keep seeing the same players turning out in these middle 8 fixtures, just in different team colours each year. |

By recruiting them. You try and make out like they should or need to get 20+ players by the time of their first SL season when that never happens in any sport. If they can get several in first season and build from there year on year. |

I think the O.P. is being a little presumptuous regarding Widnes's demise.
Sure they should've beaten London & were easily second best against Salford, but I still think they're capable of beating Toronto, Toulouse & Halifax, which would put them in the mix for the M.P.G. (Shudder)

We will see. I predict that either Toronto or Toulouse, perhaps both, will beat Widnes. |
