| So to sum up:
1 - The coaching situation for next season is still not resolved.
2 - Despite the Billy Big Bollox talking to the press about what positions we want to sign for next season, nobody has signed and it looks like they won't.
3 - Its taken Lenagan 5 fans forums before he's realised what a bunch of muppets some of our fans are.
Have I missed anything?

| Quote: gillysmyhero "The question that made him lose his rag was why in the press has IL stated that he was looking for an enforcer prop & a halfback when at the forum he said that we had no money to spend on players for next season.
IMO Il was pretty poor tonight and he has lost credability for me'"
Personally I though IL was excellent, good of you to highlight the question as the cause of him losing his rag, personally I thought it was the sheer bloody minded, failure to understand the answer that caused his agitation.
For those who weren't there, IL spent considerable time looking at players in Aus (Karmichael Hunt being one IIRC) but all considered, physical condition, off-field problems, dressing room issues, exchange rates etc none of them were considered viable options. Instead, IL chose to reinvest the money in the youth we already have, a policy I'm personally very pleased we're finally adopting.
First time I've been to a forum and it staggered me how many people sit there and actually listen to nothing that's said and ask stupid questions regardless.

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: Baked Bean Boogie "Why, are you somebody of importance that we all should be trying to impress?'"
I couldn't go tonight for a very good reason.
However what I think Cruncher is trying to say is that the biggest whingers are those that did not go.
I'll go one further and say that in general the whingers never have the balls to ask the questions.
Fair play to the man who took IL on tonight, I may not agree with him but he had his say, and not from behind the keyboard as so many "fans " do.

| So basically we have no new signings, our scouting system is garbage, we have not advanced from last year, and we are being held to ransom by a coach who only wants 1 more year (as if he is going to be picked up by an NRL club) because we cannot find anyone else good enough?
Jesus H Christ THIS IS WIGAN RLFC!
Have we really fallen this far?
As for having a moan about players i think IFL needs to get a grip and so do the players too if it affects them. I did not agree with the Amos Roberts thread but everyone is entitled to there opinion, if they have such thin skin they are in the wrong game.
I was not there but from what i have read it all sounds like one big excuse cultutre going on at the JJB.
We have sounded out a new coach, and we have attempted to sign players from the NRL, simple thing is we picked a coach who is mates with Noble and would not do over his mate, and a Prop who was always going to struggle to get a visa, sweep it under the carpet all you want but those were the calls made by IFL.
I do think he is the man to take us forward but i think he is making an error arranging these nights when he has no news to deliver.

Why the hell would he look at Hunt?
Its statements like this that casue me real concern.
We need forwards and Hunt was never ever a realistic target so why name him as one?!

This was prior to Phelps playing at full-back.

I hope this post isn't referring to me, to which crunchers original post was. I like you for a very good reason was unable to attend this evening, and I'll state for a second time that my problem is not with the questions asked but the answers given. As for this keyboard warrior crap I think your trying to imply, not at all it's simply a case of being disappointed with some of the answers.

| Quote: MattyB "Economic Climate.
The signing of Gleeson.
The late signing of Mecca on the shirt (quoted we normally shift approx 16K shirts, but have only managed 50% of that).'" That's an interesting one.I remember a few discussions at the time where anyone who discussed this was told it was no big deal getting a sponsor late on in the day. Clearly it is an issue. Hopefully (from a RL point of view) Mecca will renew their contract. They seem very proactive, and have extended their sponsorship throughout RL, which is very good for the game.
The nonsense about people not liking the logo, is just that.

How does it make a difference?
IFL cannot go on about £ and then say Hunt was a realistic target when he never was!
We may as well said we were looking at Slater, Thurston, Meninga and Lewis, its as realistic as targeting Hunt.
