So... who on here is going tonight? If so are you looking to ask any questions?

if anyone goes ask why Mick Cassidy was let go, Widnes were compensated to get him from them then let go during covid....if its costs thats a terrible excuse

I have various cereal based questions along with a couple of anecdotes about a car parking pass (I don't use the car park but I feel for those that do as it must be horrendous the amount of questions they get about it!).

Yesterday in the pub pre-game I think I heard the best question to ask, and it'll cut through all the waffle

"What the F***s going on Ian"?

In all seriousness I have my 2 part question ready
Not sure if I will ask or get an opportunity to ask, we will see

The tone of the evening will be very interesting. I think there are some fans who are expecting Ian/Kris to grovel and make a series of announcements to appease - both unfair and unrealistic in my view. On the other hand, I do think they need to acknowledge some mistakes that have been made and the poor performances of the team this year. I'm sure they'll try and strike a balance between an honest appraisal of the challenges the club and sport face and reasons to be optimistic and hopeful going forward.

One thing is certain, there'll be no excuses for fans not asking the questions that are bugging them.

There's been a lot of anger on this forum this season, and I've been as guilty of that as the rest. But this is an opportunity to resolve some issues. If we don't ask the right questions, we've only ourselves to blame.

Guess that depends on who got the tickets.

I'm not holding my breath. If the fans forum was open to just people on this forum, then we'd be fine imo.

It's some of the others that will hijack it and ask moronic questions. I saw someone on FB saying that Lam had lost the plot because he hadn't picked Clubb or Powell. The fact all the talk around Powell was about HIA and he got injured in an actual match, says it all.

I reckon the first bit will be announcements. 2022 coaching staff, Wane, player signings, Lam being packed economy back to Australia. Then followed by questions.

What I fear is that last nights half decent performance (let’s have it right it was half decent, wasn’t very good just efficient and effective for a change) will temper the questions and boost the mood. There’s still huge issues at this club and the questions we’ve persistently raised on here must be answered.

Im not confident at all that the forum will be anything more than a box ticking exercise and that no real info will come out

Lam will be announced on a 3 year deal.
Clubb will sign another 1 year deal.
We will lose Bullock, Clarke, Hastings, Gildart, Leuluai and Manfredi but won't sign anyone else due to there being no money due to contract upgrades of KPP, Havard and O'Neill.
Kelvin the Gorilla won't be coming back and the Edwards Pie Man has been lost.

I don’t know what I’m most upset about. Kelvin the Gorilla not making a comeback or losing Pie Man

I'm sure I read that the club were going to do some live tweeting from the forum?

Also disappointed, but not surprised that Phil Wilkinson/WEP aren't live tweeting either. Great journalism again!

Would be great to get some updates or a summary on things on here.

Both of my lads have gone but neither have replied to my texts for updates

Gawd in the Olden days of journalism they’d smell the blood in the water at an event like this a mile away and be there ready to pass the butchery on to willing readers.

No chance of that happening

As of this time last week Phil Wilkinson hadn’t got a ticket
Not sure if he eventually got one.

How could he not get a ticket



He's the chief sports writer of the only newspaper in town. Doesn't paint either him, or the club in the best light does it?

I for one am thoroughly enjoying the live tweet updates from the club. So informative, engaging and properly fulfilling their promises to do so.

So I'm not going crazy, they did say they'd live tweet. There's zero mention of it on the original article on the website, so I assume they've scrubbed the idea?

Real poor form when you come to think of it. Tickets go on sale on a week day (when most people are at work) and no live broadcast, or info + it sounds like the press haven't been automatically invited either.

A way to avoid scrutiny from the masses perhaps? Completely agree, real poor form from the club.

Seems that way, or just a box ticking exercise perhaps.

I'm sure there will be some nuggets of info for the guys who attend, but obvs the 1000's others who couldn't make it don't need to know.

From what little snippets I’ve got from Twitter it’s same old, same old. Could be wrong, hope I’m wrong.

Phil Wilkinson just said on Twitter no journalists, no in house blog, no streaming allowed.

Why say there would be an in house blog if there’s no intention of it? Treating fans like mugs once again.

A question on programmes
Did IL play rugby union or rugby league?

If that sample reflects the overall level of questions then obviously a very informative evening

IL and KR should be interviewed by Wilkinson with no questions off the table

I just hope that Jukes got his questions in
