No we would not beat Wakefield with the current squad.

I think we will struggle to be competitive against Fev. We have no kicking game and can't build pressure. Our defence on the edges needs to improve drastically.

Hope they prove me wrong on Sunday

Ok with respect Rochdale are weaker opponents but we played with more control & guile & tbf kicking game is getting much better by the game considering still no out and out play kicker in the squad... Fev will miss Briggs for that also.

Nice and to the point. I like it. Maybe we can now open a new discussion. Can Halifax beat Batley?

Yes
Champions can't win every game my friend.

Can Widnes win the Championship before they become a SL club?

Yes - it's a sporting competition. It's for the fans. It's for integrity. It's for going into SL with a winning mental attitude at the club. You don't want to get pan handled for three years in SL and say "well, we didn't do much in The Championship either".

Pride.

Two different points there though my friend! What you say may be right and I have agreed from day one. But innthe sense of do we need to, to get into SL it's a straight no.

But do we want to, would it improve the games integrity etc then yes!
