Anybody got the feeling this forum might be more interesting than the last one

Didn't go the last one.

What a shame Rammo can't do his show from there. Maybe a chance for all who cant get there to e mail in with some questions.

I see Brian Mac is gonna be there. Is Gutters taking a headguard



Can someone please ask about Hecks - is his time here over because of his injury and if so are we trying to bring a prop in to replace him or make do with the current squad. I guess we could bring a decent aussie in for the rest of this season as we are just exchanging one quota player for another

Brian Mc's coming along to see if he can catch any of the fans sober!

As Hecks was in 19 for Salford game and from what they said on TV,it was last minute deasion to have Kaye in the 17. I'm sure if was still badly injuried we would have used Grayshon or one of the younger guys in the 19.

Not unless you heard anything else about Hecks injury Frank..

I dont think Mac would bring in any Loaners or overseas player (but im not a mind reader

).. We have Grayshon, Dave Williams and then theres them two young kids, Jananski (think have spell that wrong

) and Rob Thomas who Mac claims is not a bad kid.

they maybe young and not as experienced as Hecks, but is worth giving them a shot at some stage to see what they have got, after all it worked with Clubb and Sharp

Dave Williams is a prop. fairly solid and worth a run. Janowski probably not the size to play prop. I have heard Thomas's name mentioned on here but don't know what position he plays. Is he a prop?

Stuck at work, will someone please post key points?

He's a pretty hard running prop as impressed with him as I was LMS

Am laid up with a chest infection and unable to attend, hopefully someone will post a report/key points on here

Hey thats some recomendation pal. Thats SL material imo and the more local lads we can bring through the better. Does he play in the reserves?

Can someone post the info on the fans forum as couldn't make it?

Players:
We will need to drop 2 from our overseas quota next year (unless the goalposts move)
Offiah is a manipulitive who was very responsible for the change in attitude of Worlord (bulls love him) and Sheriffe.
We are doing our best to sign our younger players for 3 years.
We have a crop of youngsters due off the conveyer belt in 3 or 4 years who are bigger and better than Clubb and LMS


Danny Orr is fir for Wakey game.
Non-Players
Paul seems to be forging a relationship with Evans.
As a result of this, we will be tapping into their fan-base with his endorsement.
David Hughes admitted we may have got the marketing wrong in the past


Various games are being targeted including the welsh.
It would seem that Hoggs idea of ignoring the lesser games has been changed to targeting these games (and I have to say I TOLD YOU AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS A STUPID IDEA WHEN HE SAID IT AT THE FORUM)


Bradford game on Friday before CC would be great according to us, the RFL but not Skolars. David Hughes reckons we would get 10,000 for that game, but it's only 20% likely to happen.

I am sure others can tell you more, as I turned up late and wendyball blaring out from the other side of the door.

Oh yeah..one more thing. I predicted to Darth at 91 minutes that Barca would score....

and Paddock chirped up with a catalan song

I have to be careful what I post on the subject of the CC/Bradford game as I have already had my collar felt on this one.
I don't know exactly what the benefits would be to London Skolars in keeping their "identity" and therefore getting 1,500 fans roll up when compared to the possbillity of a full days training with the Quins set up, a share of the takings bigger than the revenue they would achieve in north London and the exposure they would gain from the marketing of the game by the RFL/Quins.....but I have it on good authority, that they are very proud and protective of their friday night festival thingy.....
Also, we did absolutely decimate their crowd on the Sunday of the Manly Game.
The flip side is the "heritage day" in march attracted 637 people......not exactly what you would call a bumper crowd

I have nearly that many people on the facebook group


I disagree with the Stance taken by the Skolars, but understand why they are making it.
Like a lot of things I post on here....the CC eve game seems like a good idea, but not to everyone unfortunately

You really don't, stop pretending that you do.

Good news on the playing side of things. But is it just me, or is there very little evidence of them actually presenting strategies that will be implemented off the pitch, rather just suggesting they are still talking about it and things might be done in the future in sometime once a "relationship" is forged? Strikes me as a lot of hot air at the moment.

Given the on-field catastrophe that's the present Skolars' team (makes Geoff Fletcher's old Huyton side look SL quality!), ignore them. If the RFL and Bradford are happy with the CC eve idea just get on with it.

@ 10000 at that game. 0 chance.

Mark my words, hardly anybody attending the Challenge Cup Final will be interested in attending this match.

my worry would be Offiah. he is the agent for Will Sharp as well as Tony Clubb and a couple of other youngest on our books. from the way people have been talking and of course the rumours, it was alot down to him that Worrincy moved on with the promise of he be better of at a bigger Club like the Bulls. so would he try the same BS on the likes of Sharp and Clubb.



We need to tie down the likes of these two and LMS. Who Wigans fans would love to see there along with IL i think. But also this kid Thomas (Offiah his agent as well) who someone said was a good player and had the look of a young LMS about him.

About Worrincy i wonder if Bulls fans would love him so much, if he hadnt been able to get in the Squad with the likes of Morrison and others hadnt been out injuried for so long.

Yup, it`s just you Dave...........not quite sure how you form such an opinion in relation to things said/discussed at a meeting that you did not attend?

I know we have had promises and strategies in the past which may or may not have been implemented or successful, but management will never please everyone and we can only support them in trying to get things right on and off the pitch.......by having the forums, at least it demonstrates the fans have a voice and they are prepared to listen.

Couple of key issues........management recognise that the seating and ticketing arrangements are a mess, including the non-communication between ticket office and stewards........in an effort to resolve current problems, be it away fan seating, Quins fans with guests etc, they are going to continue to try new arrangements until they find the best compromise.

They are forming an improved relationship with Mark Evans/Quins RU, focus will be leverging off their existing marketing regime/systems to boost crowd numbers.......it was indicated that this was already rolling. Future marketing will likely include special ticket offers, theme days etc.

Contrary to popular belief, rumour, RL message boards, financially we are ok.......sure we don`t have wads of surplus cash, but we don`t have any significant debts either.......Saint David Hughes is picking up the tab wherever necessary. I did not fully understand/hear the explanation in relation to IL`s investment, but it would appear that this is IL`s issue to resolve.......it did not seem to have any major ramifications to our situation.

I formed an opinion off what others have posted with regards to the forum. Your post is far more interesting though, and good news

Carry on believing what you want listy, doen't effect my income

I forgot to add.......on the player front, Purdo and Chad Randall have resigned, I believe for another 3 years.
