They most certainly will be. Work on the ground is finally underway (clearance) the team are starting to buck their ideas up, we are financially stable and bar the crowd issue we have every reason to be confident. As much as I hope Widnes are added to the comp they can't expect to be shunted in because they have higher crowds than Salford and they had a decent team 20 years ago.
Regarding Jordan James, I hope he does well at Widnes. I think he's one of those props that would be fantastic at Championship level but no more than a squad player at a lower SL club. I remember Malc trying to pick a fight with him a couple of years ago back at The Willows. Fair play to him for having a go but JJ is built like a brick sh*thouse and if I was a betting man I know who I'd have had my money on!!!
I've just checked multimap and Salford is 8 miles nearer to Widnes than Wrexham so if you're basing it purely on distance then surely Widnes v Salford is a derby
