While I will expect a certain amount of critical/negative comment am both sadden both by the 'personal' attacks & the seeming lack of true commitment to SuperLeague in London by many of our fan base.



Am of the view that unless the squad is strengthed & quickly we are likely to:

a. end the '10 & '11 seasons as strong 'wooden spoon' contenders

b. face being demoted out of SuperLeague at the next licence renewal stage.



If the 'negative' posters do not get the message then regret to say they do not deserve QRL to even remain in existence.



As for my refusal 'failing' to buy a season ticket - after 30 years might add - the reasons are simple. I longer reside in London having become a 'non-dom' and as such need to be show that I have no commitments of any kind in the UK. and this includes even being a season ticket holder - that was the advice of my accountent. Futhermore was becoming somewhat disalusioned with the Board and it's failure to find a

alternative investor/s for the Lanagan holdings etc.



While do not want to be 'sarcastic' must indicate that as many of you seemingly can not grasp the 'squad builder' idea and are 'unwilling/unable' to even 'forgo' say one or two pints of beer to meet the £150 target suggested you really do not deserve a SuperLeague club in London. Might add that our fans are quite happy for the Board to continue to meet the annual shortfall but when a 'squad builder' is suggested your unwilling to 'contribute'.



Perhaps someone needs to ask the QRL management how they would feel about the idea and how much under spent we are on the salary cap etc etc ....... before 'mouthing-off' in such a negative way........as at the very least am certain that they would not reject or be unwilling discuss the basic concept.

Clubby and LMS have regressed over the last two years. If the same happens to all of the other talented young lads coming through then it will all have been wasted.



There has to be a balance between local kids (and they are just that, kids) and imported talent (whether from up north or over the ocean) and the club just isn't getting it right. And that is the coach's fault, he has put this squad together no-one else. For example, Wilkes is a good player, not great but a good super league player. For him to leave Wakefield and come down here the club must have offered him a very sizable increase in his wages. Is he worth it? Instead of signing Matt James and Ryan Esders would it not have been better to sign one big bugger prop forward?



I know it's a difficult job, but I think Brian Mc is consistently getting the big calls wrong which means we have a championship team playing in ESL. Ultimately, that puts off fans and investors.

I rarely do the quote thing 'cos I always end up messing it up somehow!

If only we had a talented coach coming through the ranks. When does McD's contract run out ?
