So the 'achievements' of Celtic (ooh, a grand final) far outweigh anything that Widnes have ever achieved do they?
You would hope a club that has been around since the beginning of rugby league would have achieved a lot more than a club formed 3 and a half years ago.

No, because only one club went up that year. This previous year, two clubs were entered into the league. Had it been P&R, I'm pretty sure that club would have been Celtic on the evidence that they were in the top two teams in the league...

No comment.
That totally justifies their inclusion, then. Thanks!

Nobody needs to justify anything to you.

Have it your way. However, I've stated the facts. You really just need to deal with it.
A 'cyber bully'? Get a grip
You haven't stated any facts. Your argument is based on absolutely nothing of any substance, so deserves all the ridicule it has attracted.

What would Widnes have brought? What do any of the clubs bring?
