Whitehaven once again competed in the National League One in the 2006 Season after falling to defeat at the hands of the Castleford Tigers in the 2005 grand final for a second successive season. [1] They were led by new coach Dave Rotheram who replaced the outgoing Steve McCormack, who took up the head coaching role at newly relegated Widnes Vikings. [2] Throughout much of the season, the club were plagued by injury problems which hindered their attempts to reach a third successive final and finally achieve promotion with at one point 15 first team players being unavailable for selection. [3] Nevertheless, they did mount a late challenge led by new scrum half John Duffy aided by the likes of Steve Trindall and Gary Broadbent before ultimately falling short. [4]

It was hoped that these men could once again lead Widnes to Super League safety once again and bounce back from a dismal 2004 season. While the Vikings managed to finish 11th in the League like last season they were nonetheless relegated due to the pending introduction of the Catalans Dragons in the 2006 season, they would not return to the top flight until 2012.
