CP Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well done to Widnes, Im delighted they are back were they belong in SL. If I had my way Wakey and Crusaders would go to be replaced by Widnes and Halifax. One thing I will say is that I reckon a certain Jon Clarke will be sporting the black and white of Widnes next year and what about Cullens nephew Mike Cooper too? It will be very interesting to see who they recruit now they have some serious wonga to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeway56 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Widnes should never have been out of Superleague. They have a far bigger fan base than the Taffs, the Cockneys and the Frogs. Both clubs, the Wire and Widnes were quite right to refuse a merger to become *Cheshire* at the outset of Superleague which I told Paul Cullen that Sunday morning when I threw my season ticket on the desk at Wilderspool and said he could stick it where the Sun don't shine. I look forward to the resumption of the local derbies in which I will still dislike Widnes with the customary venom. Their supporters will fill the west stand which will be a welcome cash return more so than the 20 or so Cockneys and Frogs. It's a forty grand+ difference.

CP Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Lets hope they sign some quality players to go along side their up and coming players so that they are competitive force. One thing that devalues SL is having uncompetitive teams such as Crusaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirewire Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Great news for Widnes and us - can't wait for the atmosphere when we play them again. CP's right - they now need to start recruiting so that they will be reasonably competitive next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
