I certainly was.
Last years loss was the worse ive ever experienced, because I was so confident we where gonna win.
I reckon that was the players attitude too from the shower of performance they turned out.

Still havnt lost faith though,

CUMON SAINTS

Has Pryce been found yet?

If we did play well enough and beat Saints I think an away trip to Hull, Wire or Wigan would be just as tricky.

These would definitely be the teams I would hope not to draw, especially away from home, but if it comes to it I know we have the quality to beat them

Are allowed to say that?

We dont want Knickers getting his Knockers in a twist again.

I wouldn't like to be accused of being arrogant would I

Looking at it now


I can honestly say i wouldnt shed a tear if we were to be beaten in this game

More of a worry for Saints than us. Owning our own ground and the revenue that associated income streams brings us makes us very healthy.

Also, clubs that get to compete in the WCC pocket a very tidy sum.

I think that getting to the challenge cup final is very lucrative though. The gates are split after the RFL has taken its share. For saints, its got to be the equivalent of 4 or 5 home games for them, plus moeny made through coaches, merchandise, clinger on fans etc.

Bonehead still not been back

Oh it will be nice, no doubt.

But shouldn't be budget for.

I have it on very good authority that the WCC is the biggest money spinner of the season for us as we get a much bigger take of receipts than any other competition. Also, our expenses for playing the game are minimal and no revenue is taken by other clubs.

Surely Manly get a share of the gate plus expenses. They wouldn't fly here at their own cost.

On the Saints game I reckon it'll lose Leeds and Saints somewhere in the region of £140,000 each

Say a crowd of £15,000 at an average price of £15.

Add in the corporate side.

Do you think the RL will do it again next season.


Wigan have around 10,000 season ticket holders. Barrow holds 6,500.
THat should be fun allocating the tickets.
