It's just a bit of a laugh isn't it? You can probably already get odds on where we might finish next year so why not have a bit of fun?

Personally speaking I'm looking at some of the sides in SL and from what I have seen I simply don't believe the hype that SL has moved on in incredible leaps and bounds since we were last in there. Admittedly the top sides in SL look better and I think the gulf between the two divisions is substantial considering the difference in the salary cap allowed. But from what I have seen the lower teams in the division at times look simply awful. And I do not think that these teams should be considered unbeatable by any newcomer side. As for the rest of next few teams up? Who knows.

Throw some good pros into our side, put the others on full time training. Acquire a player that can kick and some coaching towards a basic enough gameplan and voila!

I'd like to see Widnes assemble a decent squad and push for around 10th in your first season, that would be a very good achievement. Perfectly possible with a good desire and ethic.

People joking and i think 10th mate.Depends who recruit and team not fully assembled.

those who do not believe in victory are doomed to defeat before the first shot is even fired! Vikings never die, we are just missing in action!

The fans know best and not the coaching staff. I feel Mullaly will be a beast next year, as doing brilliant at Brisbane.Mullaly, Clarke,Cross, Kav, Cahill,Haggerty, is a decent set of forwards, and i think people will be surprised next year.

Mnimum target is winning the Challenge Cup Final & Grand Final or else I'm ripping my stronghold membership up and stuffing it down SOC's throat .
