The Virtual Terrace • Re: Super 8's and Middle 8's Predictions

I'm not actually a Leeds fan, but in terms of what they offer; an average attendance of about 15k and despite a bad season last year, undoubted ambition to win trophies every year.

Do the owners of Widnes really care? They allowed your best, highest paid player to leave shortly before the start of the season for a sizeable fee and did nothing to replace him. It was almost a foregone conclusion that Widnes would be in the qualifiers when that happened given how important a player Brown was for that team. They took the financial reward in exchange for the increase in risk that they would lose their SL status.
