| On a serious note, I think this shows why the franchise system is needed. The gulf in class between NL1 and Super League is massive. At least Widnes, now knowing they are in Super League can try and attract the established players. Rather than the old gamble of whether they will be in top flight or not.
Can see a Bratford esq change. Already from last night I can see about 12 players who are no where near being good enough for SL

| There is always going to be a big gulf between a full time league and a part time league.
A strength of Widnes is that (it appears) they have the financial muscle to put together a full time squad, and rather than in the old days of promotion and relegation they have had three years to prepare for it, and around 10 months to put it together.

| Most parts of the civilised world and even in some parts of Warrington, people who seriously follow the game are aware of the greater spending power of SL clubs due to the salary cap difference. If Warrington put a team together on a salary cap of £300,000 I would bet that they would only be average performers and the attendance would be less than that of Widnes.
I stress the attendance because I am sure that the fair weather supporters that watch Warrington presently will abandon their club if there is lack of success. I hope not, because I think good crowds is good for the game.
And, by the way, what is unusual about us losing to Leigh? The Leythers beat us every year!

53838_1362327793.jpg And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

| The main problem for Widnes, in the first year especially, is that they will have a squad made up of other side's cast-offs, and will inevitably be paying them above their worth in order to entice them to play for a 'promoted' side.
Take Jon Clarke for instance....He will be offered a 'peanuts' deal to stay at Wire (if he gets an offer at all)....He will then see what other offers are out there, and then along come the likes of Widnes, Salford and Crusaders trying to outdo each other with offers that are way above what Clarke actually is worth.....Clarke then, quite rightly, takes the best offer.
Use this type of example 9 or 10 times over, and Widnes will inevitably have a second rate squad for the first year back with the big boys.
