Actually, we did get a quarter page report in the Sunday Mirror, under the three quarter page report on the Leigh v St Helens game.
On the facing page, was a big article on the, yet to be played, Wigan Hull KR tie and opposite us, a quarter page artivle on the Youk v Batley tie.

Think this calls for Hercule Poirot!

I don't really see much of a mystery. Hughes does not operate the club as a business. It is something he is willing to fund to a certain level but expenditure is not prioritised in activities that would grow the club and he gets what he pays for with his off field appointments (i.e. not a lot).The playing squad budget is primarily aimed at holding our position with some elbow room to add to the squad if it turns out to be too .

The level he is aiming for is mid-level insignificance.... 7th to 11th in the table each year.... 700 fans average... Then hope IMG wave a wand and magic up another 4300 people

Will be up in Club Wembley with BT junior cheering on Leopards Bongser. One slight dampener. I have just asked Jnr his pick for the Cup and he has gone with Leopards. As his strike rate is 0 out of 5 cup finals this is looking a little bleak for the boys in leopard skin.

It's the exceptions that prove the rules, BT (Senior). 7.30am coach from LSV so should manage a few libations before KO. Maybe we'll meet?
