Quote ="Greg Florimos Boots"Am i missing something but havnt Widnes still spent up to the maximum salary cap this season and last? Basically the clubs signings have been crap and even with all this talk of "oh we could have signed the Aizues and Pauls and the like" Widnes still havnt many, if any players in their squad that would be any good at SL level.
I mean there isnt even a single Widnes player i would be happy if Fax signed let alone letting them have a go in SL.'"
We bought younger players, with much less experience, than Halifax have. We were also blooding quite a few of our own youngsters this season too. An injury list, the like I’ve never seen before, hasn’t helped either.
ATEOTD by season two of SL (should we get there) only a few of the youngsters will probably be in the starting 13.

I mean most of Widnes team are average in this league let alone SL. We would have to sign a few decent fowards but i think our whole back line could make a fist of it in SL.'"
In the short term yes. You would still finish bottom though. I doubt that Halifax would be able to spend to the maximum of the salary cap, whereas it is likely that we will – if allowed.
