| Quote It's Gus's department to discuss these issues with the RFL/Superleague......if attracting players down here is directly affected by the cost of living, then I agree that David Hughes should get to lose an extra 500k a year'"
Not gonna happen guys, we have tried that and we provided all the data to show how much extra we had to spend to house the players etc but the other teams knocked it back everytime. And then they wonder why we always looked to Aussie players.

Kevin Brown is also switching to Widnes, from Huddersfield, because he wants to be nearer to his family (in Wigan). Travelling time Hudds to Wigan is a massive 50 minutes

Blimey, if it took me 50 mins to get to work, I would think that was a result.

Not saying it's not true but, links to stories, releases or documented evidence would have helped

| Dunno...look how bad we may have been without them...0 out of 15?
Micky, we're getting to the stage of what is the point of anything? Should we all just give up and forget about SL in London? I can't see anything getting easier anytime soon, sadly.

Basically you need to spend the same again on marketing and making our home games events with interesting things for kids to do like the running along the bouncy castle to score the try, for adults you need offers like ticket, beer and burger for £15 or Dad and a lad for a fiver on fathers day weekend, that sort of thing, for others you need the pre and post-match entertainment, you need cheerleaders who are of legal age (sends out the wrong message to have what looks to me like 14 year old girls from a club can't afford proper ones and makes no inroads in the 16-25 male group of which there are probably only a handful left as fans after attending has become a social embarassment to all but the hardened fans out there)
Basically we need to spend to even get a message out there, or get creative on a limited budget, and we've done neither, pumped it all into the 1st team, pumped on results and failed.
Basically the only way we win fans now is through results over a few months in 2013 and get a buzz around the place through spending a decent budget on making people aware, and also getting the SL show on national TV, might not be brilliant but it does make people aware of a national game.

A quote from a poster on the Leeds forum:
Quote Torbreck="rhinoms"Just to add the Mcshane move rumours etc Brian Mc mentions during is insight interview Macca was nearly on his way to London but it didn't quite work out hence the Vikings move so George and co weren't as wode of the mark as some thought.'"

"it didn't quite work out" ?? Doesn't tell us anything. Was it the player, London, or just Widnes stepping in that caused it? We are no wiser!?

| Could be anything. But there are people on here often look for an angle as to why it would have to be the club.
