I’m sure it will. It was the early days of these fans forums that were littered with stupid questions but iirc the latter one or two were much improved and I doubt they’ll give the opportunity to people to ask about weetabix this time.

Hopefully there will be food and drink on the evening. A lot of people (myself included) will be heading to the arena straight from work. Even if its just pie/lobby and peas or something.

Well with all the complaints this week from people trying to buy tickets either online or by phone I think sorting the ticket office out should be on the agenda.

Any good?

Yes.

Probably a sign of the playing side of things looking pretty good in the short and long term but it was all quite tame I thought. Lots of questions about ticket prices, seating arrangements, club sweatshirts etc.

The most interesting bit was the guy off super League pod getting Lenagans back up by asking if the money from the sale of Orrell will go back in to the club. A perfectly valid question I thought. Lenagan isn’t happy with some keyboard warriors (his words) on here making reference to him having short arms and long pockets.

I thought it was more a dig at those who have suggested he pockets the money himself (the short arms, deep pockets quip he made was in response to people who say we dont spe d up to salary cap and he confirmed we spend 25/30% over it due to dispensations).

There are people out there who keep suggesting jes pocketing money for himself.
7million quid put in suggests he doesn't.

Plenty of morons about

Yip
And people need to realise it.

Best thing for me overall was regarding his commitment moving forward to the club.
Seemed like he had a lot of fight in him and didn't sound like someone who had given up.

Fully agree. There’s certainly no money in rugby league even if he did fancy pocketing some. He sounds committed to the club and comments suggested his sons will take it on in the longer term. The next tv deal sounds hugely important for the whole sport.

Glad to hear that he's confirmed his commitment. I just hope he realises that the few vocal idiots who say such things are not representative of the vast majority of real fans. Anybody suggesting anyone with any business savvy, as IL clearly has, would go into Rugby league for financial benefit is a moron, plain and simple (pun intended).

In light of this obvious fact, a new whip will doubtless soon be found with which to beat the guy.

The IL decriers have all gone quiet in recent weeks because we've been winning. For example, I've not heard the juvenile phrase 'happy clapper' in quite a while.

But if - as I fear and suspect - we fail to win the Grand Final this year, they will be back straight away.

No doubt they will be. Regardless of the fact its extremely difficult to win 'back-to-back' titles. So much so only a small handful of clubs have ever done it.

Something we've not managed since the mid-nineties. Just to be in with a good chance is a credit to the players and coach this season.

Correct. Not that anybody wouldn’t be disappointed not to win the Grand Final but I’ve said before everything now just feels like a bonus when you consider where we were sat in May/June time. We’ve been on a great run and you just never know what could happen these next few weeks but regardless we’ve got positives to take out of the season and non more so then the three young forwards who’ve burst through and made spots their own.

Was anything said about the Shaun Edwards fiasco and the very misleading statement put out by the club to coincide with ST sales for this season?
