| It's IMPOSSIBLE for anyone other than Widnes to be given the nod in 10 days time.
I don't know why we are even debating it.

| its pretty much nailed on that its gonna be Widnes I think. Ive no problem with that, they are an historic club with a decent fan base and a stadium that will grace the Super League. The team however will need ALOT of investment for them to make an impact.

Stating the obvious there mate. Any Team promoted from the Championship to Super League will need a mass influx of Players just to compete. A £300,000 Salary Cap, compared to £1.6 Million.

| It will be Widnes.
I dont think it should be Widnes they are shocking on the pitch and have been for a couple of years.
Shame that Des is messing around at Barrow. But for me at the moment it's Fax who get my vote.
God help this board if Widnes do not get in.

Although it won't happen just IMAGINE the posts if it did
Part of me sort of wants Halifax to get the nod just so we get some entertaining reading

Fax have put most of their resources into their First Team.
Widnes haven't.
The strongest Team on the pitch may well be Fax, the strongest bid is definately Widnes.

| Although as we haven't played Fax yet ( or Leigh for that matter ) you cannot really say who the best Team is on the pitch this year.

They've put as much into their 1 st team as Fax have , they just happen to have more money to put into other things as well

Is Starry under the impression that his post somehow contradicts or disproves Bomb Jack's?

| Can anyone prove Widnes have spent full cap for the last 3 years ?
Also, can you also prove no Clubs have paid more than the SC through the back door ?

It does neither , it just clarifies it , the suggestion was that Fax have spent all the available money they could on their first team , and that Widnes havent , I would suggest they have spent as much as they could , just that they havent been as successful as Fax at spending that money

"This has been achieved while continuing to operate up to the Co-operative Championship salary cap limit"

| I think its harsh on Halifax who have been plowing the league over the 3 years, But i feel its hardly fair to slate widnes as they also have had success getting to 2 NRC finals.
I think another contribution is that halifax have been plowing 110% into their first team were as widnes have been focusing on nurturing youngsters and have more to offer in that department.
I believe both clubs deserve to play in super league for different reasons..
as for the matter of Hunslet, Don't take anything away from them. They played very well against an under performing widnes side, But its hardly fair to make an arguement out of one game, Shocks happen and thats what sport is all about.
