Lot more vocal too by a long, long way. It was tribal.


Well stealing from DSM’s answer no mobile phones so everyone watched the match.

Honest question do you think us fans cared less then than we do now though.

Not having a go at you personally, karetaker.

No we didn't care less, or more, for that matter.
We just knew our place.
We could go on a 12 match winning streak, then lose to the bottom of the table the week after. That's what we were, then. We had Peter Higham's (and board) investment, but we knew we couldn't dream of competing with what was going on at Wigan. Now we've got richer benefactors, our expectations rise.

We mirrored, then, with what was going on at Leeds . Throwing money around like confetti at a wedding, yet having little to show for it. Anybody remember Gallagher, Fullerton Smith, Backo etc.

Going back to Tony Barrow.
Unless I've got this wrong, didn't he just resign, out of the blue.
We then stumbled around, and toom a punt on Johnson, who stayed for nearly 8 years.

Typical Wire

Never get a winner, always take a gamble

No no no I get exactly what you are saying. When I asked my question it got me intrigued that people talking about the good old days. If I’m being honest I went fishing on the back of DSM post but he answered it to well. What I meant about caring is in those days we didn’t have a pot to mickey in and now we do and expectations are a lot higher.

Also thinking about the both answers of DSM and Wires71 yeh no internet no mobile phones so a totally different atmosphere, is that why so many of us prefer the Wilderspool days.

Spot on this, I've been thinking the same for a long while. Leeds matched Wigan's spending from around the 90s onwards (if my memory serves me correct) and didn't really achieve anything until their youth came through in the noughties.

to be fair, apart from Wane and Holbrook, there are no winners available... everything else is a risk... well those 2 are also a risk.

But yea, we are taking a risk with this appointment.

time a for a chnage though.. you cant blame the board for coming at it from a new angle.

Time to roll the dice.

Powell brought two more with him right? Was it Danny Evans (academy coach) and an analyst guy? Are they still here or have they been moved on too?

Would think all his own back room staff will have left, if not now Burgess will want to pick his own guys.

Going to be head coach at Wakefield is the story.
