In the 18 months he's been our chairman, things havent always gone to plan, where do you feel IL went wrong (if any)?

The pack weakness for me

Joe Lydon, because he buggered off sharply.

Pack weaknesses and Noble's contract extension.

Both massive errors.

Offering Noble a new deal, that is my only problem really. We had 5 props but its a shame 2 have so badly underperformed, Roberts signins was an odd one given the lack of biff in the pack and Ainscough waiting to be given a chance, but i am sure Noble would have advised on the ability of Ainscough to step up which clearly would not hae been positive given his signing a year early.

I think Noble played him like a fiddle to get his new contract, and that is the biggest error.

Surely its the stadium fiasco? Players come and go, as do coaches, but the JJB/DW etc stadium no longer feels like its our home ground. I miss CP more than ever

The responsibility for the recruitment issue cannot be held directly or solely with IL, BN must also shoulder some blame.

I think its wrong to blame IL for the pack problems - he has a plan in place. Coley and Fielden must go before we can spend big bucks on forwards - he's got the backline sorted now for the next 4 years with Roberts , Richards , Gleeson , Leuluai - and hopefully Sam and shaun on long term deals. Then with Bailey and Coley gone we can get in a ouse propforward.

His biggest mistake is asking to play catalans on easter monday to cover up the stadium fiasco , also becoming whelans biatch last september was a HUGE mistake which should never happen again but probably will.

I voted for the other, because were he went wrong was taking over wigan rlfc

His only real mistake has been us not signing any forwards even though it's obvious we're lacking in that department bigtime.

Great backs cant do anything without a great pack. That said he is stuck with Fielden and his wages for now, but when he is gone you could probably get two good forwards for his wages.

I think a lot of you underestimate the scale of the job he had to do when he came in, maybe he did himself.

He can't shoulder all the blame for having what appears to be a fairly hostile landlord.

Good point. Obviously we all know its not going as well as it should be on the pitch but behind the scenes it looks as though we are on the right track after years of serious problems
