I don't think for one minute that Widnes will be relegated. However, picture this scenario. In July, Halifax get a SL license and Wakefield and Cas are dumped out ....

Then, the Championship bottom 5 at the end of the season looks like this ...

7. Barrow
8. York
9. Widnes (going into SL)
10. Halifax (going into SL)
11. Toulouse (Exempt from relegation)

This scenario would mean that Barrow and York would be relegated into Championship 1 !!! I know there may well be yet another re-structure next season, but this is how ludicrous the Licensing system can be.

In August Wakefield win the Challenge Cup and in Super League Castleford are surprise Grand Final winners.

Talk your way out of that one mssrs Lewis and Woods !!

I know for a fact that Thacks has been in contact with Wakey and Harlequins (although he is not keen on moving to London)

Wakey could do a lot worse than Thackeray. They're half-backs in Jeffries, Smith (if he ever re-appears), Wildie and Hyde just don't cut it. Tommy Lee has been their only decent option. I hope to God that the rumours of us going in for Jeffries are not true.

I was at the club today and seen Thackeray and Ford walking around together in their training gear. Hopefully they've not been outcasted completely while they try to come to a settlement.

Wakey would be a good move for Thacks, he could move back home to Hull and have 3/4 months to prove if he's a SL player or not.

I hope he gets a SL move, just for us to see what he could have done for us if given the chance.

Wakey have just signed Moore from Batley though, so I doubt they were ever an option for him really.

Chuffed that he's at York though.
