That said...5 Warrington players in on DR according to Widnes social media. Only meant to be 4 allowed normally, so presumably one of them's on loan.

Some very threadbare Championship squads this season.

This is really difficult to predict. Respect to all clubs making it that way. 
Barrow, Batley,Sheffield, Fev v York draw, Bradford {Although I hope Fax win} and Widnes to bounce back at home. Credit it to a tough 2025 Championship.
