Do you know if you'll have to have 8 club-trained minimum and a maximum of 5 non-fed? Personally I think the rules should be relaxed slightly for those returning or debuting in SL, for a couple of seasons. For all that you're being knocked for not having the best first team in the championship, the investment in youth will set you in better stead than slightly superior senior semi-pros to be released at the end of this season.

The rules should not be relaxed.

Dispensation makes a mockery of the system.... SOC has been bigging up the youth as part of the bid.

If i was a widnes fan i wouldn't want relaxed rules.

I suppose i can tell you now you've signed Shaun Briscoe for next season

Was spotted with TOC at the Stobart for one of our games last season so there could be some substance to this

Re: Potential Targets : Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:18 pm  

shaun briscoe is a quality signing, i think jamie rooney is still good enough for super league but you will need to combine him with an aussie half back, also i reckon u should look to get a good set of forwards thackray-not a bad player morrison- not bad. will be wakefield that go down unless the rfl bottle it and bring up halifax and make it a 16 team league.

If they can attract back any mature SL players that count as club-trained in could be doable. Otherwise you're looking at a squad that is going to be lacking any sort of depth.
Although Hull KR obviously had to focus much more on the first team, the gradual increase in the club-trained quota and restrictions on who qualified made it (combining club-trained with decent depth) just about doable - going straight to 8 of 25 top earners with 3 full years at club prior to turning 21, would be slightly daunting for Widnes, IMO.
Which current SL players came through the ranks of Widnes that could be attracted back?

Richie myler can't see him coming back though.

Sean long has been rumoured to be coming back to this region but he's past it now IMO. He's not from widnes but has played for us.
