Do you think the Widnes Vikings will get into Superleague on tuesday??

Question

I am a huge Widnes fan and there has been a lot of speculation about who is going into superleague...and a lot of people are thinking that Salford and Celtic Crusaders will be promoted and not Widnes. I find this unfair as Celtic do not have the ground, do not have good supporters...its all because the stupid RFL want to get Wales involved in Rugby League. Grrr. What are your opinions?

Answer 1

It meat seem unfair but look at Catalan last season they were rubbish but now they are alot better. The RFL don't really want another team from Lancashire, it doesn't really spread the game about does it?

I think the franchise is a good thing. I support Dewsbury, in NL1 it will stop the SL yoyo sides coming back down hammering everyone and going back up, it warps the league their parachute payments give them the clout way above anyone else. It will also stop the SL sides from hammering the yoyo sides every week, those games add nothing to SL. It will help the ones that get in to try and get better, the ones that don't will be forced through lack of cash, to drop down to level where the other sides can compete with them.

Answer 2

I live in Widnes but from Warrington so support the Wolves. I really miss the derby matches with the vikings and they are big crowd pullers. I would like you to get in to SL but I think the success of the Catalans (which is very impressive) and the desire from the RFL to develop the international game means the Crusaders will get in.
