Quite simply NO!
They are a Superleague team missing a handful of their squad - we are a part time Championship side. If they lose many more though it would be a close run thing.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

No!
Let’s just concentrate on trying to beat teams in the league we are actually in.

Turning the question around slightly... Would that side be completely dominant in Championship? I think not, especially considering on SL money! Probably every other SL side would be clear best by a distance!

No. If we were full-time, we'd probably give them a game, one-off.

I’m not so sure that that was ever going to be an option. Once it was known that Wakey had a serious buyer, the RFL would have ensured that Wakey competed in SL this season. It would have been a total embarrassment for them to come cap in hand to Widnes after they turned us down last time. It would show just what a joke the last round of licencing was.
There is no way, full-time training or not, that this current Widnes team could compete with anyone in SL, imo.

| Ask this of four other clubs in the Championship first - probably the ones that constantly finish above you in the league.
Halifax for example 
The answer would be same for any scenario - full time vs part time? A million squid a year vs fook all? It's a no brainer - a bit like the OP |

That was twenty years ago you sad sap. Talkin' about the here and now mate. This thread is refreshing though - it's not often we get discussions about "on-field" matters on this site. So, whilst posing a daft question, the OP should be congratulated for bringing the attention back to the playing side of things. |

Yes. Too many clementines consumed. Now moving onto peanut butter sangers. May calm me down. |
