This season it doesn't look as though there will be much of a gap between 3rd and 5th going into the 8's. With a maximum 14 points to play for in the 8's every game counts and being in 4th spot with only a 2 point gap to 5th would still be a big advantage.

The CC is still our best chance of a final / silverware this season. We could probably do with being drawn against either Saints or Leeds in the first round of the 8's (since the other teams will have had a week off).

Lets be honest here for a short minute, the only reason you are even talking about the top 4 is because of the injury crisis at both Hull, Castleford and Leeds alike. Had they had even half there squad fit enough to play over the course of this season you would be talking about not dropping into that bottom 4.

Wow you must be bored.

Same as 2016 then, where we were nowhere near the best side in the comp but won the LLS and were a reach of the arm away from winning both finals.

So in short all you have won is a dinner plate that everyone forgets about the week after? Is this year finally going to be your year?

How many times have you won the world club challenge?

Yes it is and None...Is that what you want to hear buttercup.

Are you the reincarnation of WidnesJohn?

Is this reverse trolling? Where you go onto a forum just to be made fun of? Anyway, I for one, feel sorry for you SV so I'm not going to bite...

Imagine being a Widnes fan and having the cheek to have a pop at Warrington. Like somebody with aids making fun of somebody for having a cold.

Hang on a minute it may not be a cold, it could be man flu the most deadly virus on the planet.

I think making a joke of aids is poor tbh.

Have you had a drink? It’s an unusual time to be trolling, with Widnes’ current predicament. I actually sympathise with Widnes... they’ve trodden carefully and managed to stay up without huge losses and not gone on some ridiculous unaffordable spending spree just to get a trophy, only to go bust (like the Widnes of the 80s). That doesn’t deserve to be rewarded with a drop to a lower division and possibly the start of the downward spiral to being defunct.

There is probably some value in the idea of buying Widnes and having them in the championship as a wholly-owned dual reg club. They have some good youngsters coming through and we can use the higher intensity of the championship to blood them in, as well as getting our star players back to fitness. Like a reserve team. And Widnes fans get to see some SL stars in live action, and the season ticket could be valid for both clubs, so our fans can watch our reserves and Widnes fans can watch super league. It’s a win-win for both, and helps Widnes survive as a name.

class.

Widnes fans going on about the WCC is like Newcastle United fans living on the past glory of the Fairs Cup in 1969.

What they don't realise is that they will probably never win anything again, whereas Warrington have a chance of winning something this season.

Not strictly true this, they may win the Championship.
