And beat Fev & Sheffield...

Who do you want in? Halifax (bottom of league) or Barrow (didn't make out of NRC group?). Funny as when people make this argument that never seems to crop up

What sort of overseas dispensation will the team that comes up (Widnes) get next season? I'm assuming it'll be in line with what Salford/Cas got when both teams came up rather than Crusaders?

it definately wont be of the crusaders variety. but then do these things really mean anything? look at HKR.

As funny as we would all find that actually happening , the competitive nature of the Championships could just as easily see Widnes win the competition as finish bottom , unfortunatley the RFL cannot even see that as a Good thing either and are going to bugger up that as well

Widnes - Sheffield?

Forgot about that. A rare Widnes win should really be a memorable occasion.

Even so, Barrow are still above you in the league (with a game in hand).

So we're basing three year licenses on three games then. Thats a great idea comrade.

Yours is based on one Chris , it's like the good old days of P and R

Only kidding , I hope you lot don't keep sulking and not turn up next Thursday ? , it's the Lancashire cup final

WIdnes were told 2 years ago by the RFL what they needed to do on and off the pitch to get a licence this time around, they've done all of that to the criteria set.

If the RFL told them win everything on the pitch, then they'd have invested more in the playing squad, but they weren't! So you can't blame them for this, it's who set that criteria.

SL fans often show their lack of Championship knowledge in threads like this. Has anyone mentioned that Halifax are bottom of the league? That Barrow have had 5 coaches in 4 years and an ego mad chairman? Fax and Barrow lack supporters, this is what happens in the Championship! Given the chance it's a different ball game. People are asking what Widnes can offer more than Wakefield...you can't answer that question for at least 3 years IF we're given the chance. Wakefield have had there's and none done very well with it.

HAhaha Widnes lost against one of the best sides in the league and now we dont deserve a franchise? whether we had won 3/3 or 0/3 at the start of the season, the same players would still be getting replaced in SL. Its going to be a totally different squad and as we are the onlyteam to satisfy all of the criteria how are we not the best option?

AJ , don't blame the RFL for you having ' Cack ' players and teams , you've invested as much as you could , don't pretend you haven't
