At the risk of stating the obvious to my fellow Widnes fans, just explain to Mr Frisk.
At 1st we were out, then we were in and then we were out again.
Maurice said he would make sure we were in, this lead to big Jim announcing over the tannoy at a home game that we were in. It was then decided that Maurice didn't actually have the power to guarantee us a place in SL and in the end our poor league form cost us the place in SL. We lost our last 7 league games and correct me if I'm wrong but had we finished higher up, we would have been in SL. Its often said that as we had been told we were in SL, we didn't have anything to play for and our form suffered as a result. By the time we had been told league placing was going to matter, it was too late.
