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.

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!

I answered the thread. I said no. icon_beat.gif

No need to be quite so touchy. I just see no point at all in this. I have no doubt that we would lack the quality, at present, to be anything other than easy beats in Super League. Wakey may not be much better – so what?

It’s being better than the best in this league which matters. We are not in SL. Enjoy this season where we are and worry about how good we could be in SL, should we get there.

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 icon_smile.gif

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 icon_smile.gif

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.
