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?

it should have nothing to do with bringing back players from their ranks who have left.
They have 3 years.... that's along time..... there will be plenty of players out of contract over the next 3 years... decent ones as well..... SOC has already said they will be spending full cap.
Widnes could finish bottom for 3 years on the bounce (which they wont) and the RFL would not kick them out.
They dont NEED to go down the route of spent australian journeymen....thats the last thing the RFL will want... thats why they chose Widnes.
I would be amazed if they gave Widnes dispensation and they took it.
can't see him coming back though.
