Would it be wise to invest a lot less in the squad next season?

Of course, we don't want to be in a relegation scrap, but if costs are cut to help keep the club healthy in preparation for a financially tiring franchise bid, in theory this would be a good idea?

certainly not, i can see were your coming from but we need to be in the rl spotlight as much as possible. We dont want to be forgotten about and need to prove that we are the best club in the divison and could easily slot into sl.

Many said that Celtic and Salford were nailed on for franchises last year.

Maybe if we win it this year, SOC may receive a couple of positive whispers from the RFL if we are to go up.

Perhaps then we could start to assemble a SL squad.

Nah I think we need to keep the momentum rolling and give them no choice but to accept us. The fans won't accept anything less than the best either as we've seen this season.

I know were your coming from but would it be worth to try and assembly a decent squad so that we can take a few of dem players upto super league.

I think it would give us the opportunity to blood our youngsters. If the cap is to drop next year then we'll probably have to cut back on a few senior players anyway.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

We found to our cost in 2007 that you can't afford to take your foot off the gas.

You can't trust Super League. You have to win as much as possible - make it hard for them to turn you down - it's the same for Halifax, same for Barrow, etc..etc...

Do not give them any excuses to shaft you again.
