Widnes Vikings coach Allan Coleman says the club are not yet ready for Super League return

The Vikings have not played in Super League since 2018 and went into administration the following year but they have maintained second-tier status ever since.

Widnes slipped from 16th in the initial gradings in 2023 to 22nd in the 2024 gradings, but retained their Grade B status.

The club moved down the rankings despite a fifth-placed finish and a play-off place this year, up from ninth position and missing out on a place in the play-offs in 2023.

“Last season, we achieved the play-offs. This year [in 2025] we’ve got to get higher than that. We’ve got to get a home play-off game and finish in that top two,” he added.

“That is progression for me. We’ve got to improve crowds. Our youth development will be bigger and better next year, I’m 100% confident in that.

“We have to be a better team and if we can tick all those boxes, I’ll be a really happy coach – but we need to do that consistently.”
