Real trouble at widnes Sunday's fixture against Sheffield has been prosporned

There but for the grace of God (and Michael Carter & Chris Brereton)

Have they got a hooker we could borrow?

I believe Liam Hood is, or was, on their books for the 2019 season

Only other player I think in their squad worth taking would be Gelling, if it came to it, but believe he takes up a quota spot anyway

Gelling will probably be allowed dispensation similar to all the Crusaders guys when they went tits-up.

Think it's a bit early to start talk of raiding them.
No one liked it when people did it to us.

My guess that Wigan will resign Gelling and as earlier posted said would probably not count on the quota for the duration of the contract he’s offered and same for other players. I am told Widnes have a lot of emerging talent at younger level. More than likely the wolves are stalking their prey as I type this.

I’d take Liam Hood, the lad can tackle

James Rule should never be allowed to get his grubby hands on a RL club again.

Officially gone into administration. What a sad situation.

That's not good at all.
We all know how grim that situation is and I wouldn't wish it on ANY club.
Lets hope they make it back in some reasonable shape.

Players have been told that they will be paid for February. Deduction of 12 points looming.

Or if nobody comes forward, no more Widnes! Rugby league can’t afford to lose a club like that ..

No it’s really ok, the RFL have Some more teams in North America ready to step in

Apparently they haven't been paid their parachute payment.
I think clubs should be looking to loan players to them, like Warrington did with us, rather than picking over the bones, whilst there's still a glimmer of hope.

Heard they have had the majority it and they still have players on the books.

Besides there is talk if the Widnes club is liquidated next week, Halton Council may have a stadium to sell. Now we can leave the players be, but would be daft not to look at that opportunity.

Council owned ground, Widnes get 0 from food/bar/corporate boxes apparently.....

shows what will happen to us if we accepted walkers trust

Can't see many Trin fans travelling over there tbh

Putting aside the lack of recompense for debtors, I'm not so sure it's a bad thing. Talk of a consortium still interested. Toronto are nailed on for promotion this year, so take the 12 point hit this year and start with a clean slate financially, rebuild for next year.

Of course, if no one steps in, it's bad, but if there is going to be administration, this is the year for it, with Toronto likely to win the league.

But there's always going to be admin in sport, because it's such a gamble, particularly with relegation back. Cut your cloth and all that, but all businesses invest and project on the basis of growth, and some businesses just don't grow as projected. And because their players had so little fight last year, and their lack of fight was woeful, their business has shrunk.

That seems a very sensible approach Slugger.

Always had a soft spot for Keighley and that seems their approach this season, even slashing admission charges to rebuild their fan base.

Hopefully the Widnes faithful see it this way and get behind them like we did years ago.

RL needs a club in Widnes and their fans need their club too.
