I must agree with that - having just watched the NRL Grand Final, it makes you realise just how poor the rugby on offer last night was

The same people who are having a go at lenegan now would still be having a go for not announcing it as soon as we are out.

Also i thought roberts had a decent game tbh![/size

For me its was the final insult from Lenegan to Noble, why not wait until Monday to announce the press conference. Lenegan knew that nobby would be getting all the press due to the performance and the way he has handled it so he took the opportunity to take the gloss off.

My opion, others may be different, is that I wasn't bothered about next years coach last night, I wanted to come to terms with what was the closest we have come to making the final in about 6 years, and I wanted my Chairman to endorse that and not play war games with Nobby.

Are you telling me that we are in a worse situation than we were before IL took over?

lets see what wednesday brings, i think he has made some errors but again i think he has learned from them.

I do hope IL does not get into a slanging match with BN, it seems like it has the potential to go that way.

I look forward to the announcement on Wednesday.

What's changed on the field since then?

2007 - 2 semi finals - 2 losses
2009 - 2 semi finals - 2 losses

Who was the person who 2 mins after the whistle announced to the world he was leaving ?

Was the IL fault also ?

Lenegan has also been lucky in so much that it is now a live salary cap and it is impossible for him to mess it up.

Is the club in a better state I am not so sure myself, I think that Lenegan is benefitting from a anyone rather than Mo and Whelan syndrome.

was thinking the same.. these clowns moan on here because IFL isnt on here every day telling them whats going on in the club, then when he gives them what they want they rip him to pieces saying he should have waited longer! honestly the guy cant win!

2007 I thought we were very far away from getting close to being a top two side. I thought Trent Barrett papered over a lot of cracks in that team and to get 2 semi-finals I thought we were punching well above our weight.

2009 I think we are much closer to being a top two side again. This time we had a real shot at getting to Old Trafford and were genuine contenders. I think our squad is much better than 2007 as well. A far greater influence in homegrown players. However as pointed out we have had still the same outcome. So we have replaced Brian Noble the correct decision IMO.

Wednesdays announcement is huge. With no disrespect to the brilliant job Shaun Wane does in the reserves - I hope it's not him.

Riddell & Roberts on 3 & 4 year deals.

Barrett going?

To be honest on the field nothing has changed, we still start slow, we still have a soft pack, and we still have no leader. Off the field are we in a healthier position??? I am not sure????

Nope. One person has.
