As part of TotalRL’s buildup to the new Super League season, we’re going to be taking a closer look at every one of the 12 clubs in the top flight this season and weighing up what their best side looks like.
For some, it will be a fairly straightforward task. For others, it will be slightly more difficult given the depth they possess – but we won’t miss a single side out.
So far in the series: Hull KR
We’re now moving onto a side who came desperately close to being sucked into the Million Pound Game last season: Widnes Vikings. Their recruitment has been overshadowed by the passing of new signing Kato Ottio this week – but here’s how we think they could line up on the opening weekend.
Fullback: Rhys Hanbury
Wing: Stefan Marsh
Centre: Krisnan Inu
Centre: Charly Runciman
Wing: Patrick Ah Van
Stand-off: Joe Mellor
Scrum-half: Tom Gilmore
Prop: Gil Dudson
Hooker: Lloyd White
Prop: Greg Burke
Second row: Chris Houston
Second row: Matt Whitley
Loose-forward: Hep Cahill
Interchange: Aaron Heremaia, Tom Olbison, Alex Gerrard, Wellington Albert
Where can this side finish in 2018? Can the Vikings make the top eight and avoid another scrap against relegation in the Qualifiers? Let us know by tweeting us @LeagueExpress.
