I want shut of those walkabout dorks. The two mascots are bad enough but why do they have to be led around like children. Kelvin needs to upp his game too.

Max is the tops

I do think the club should utlise past players more. I would like to see the club pay the air fares for say Brett Kenny and John fergusson and put them up in Whelans Country Hotel. They could stay for a fortnight etc. Be part of a say 1985 Challenge Cup Final reunion whereby a formal dinner is held with all that 85 team as guest of honour and a plessant reunion for them. Kenny and Chicka could attend a special Riversiders event and be special guests, even kick off a home match etc. They would ttract huge media interest too.

Likewise I would like to see the RFL adopt a retro theme to one particular round of SL as they sometimes do in the NRL. So you could have a 60's weekend, all the clubs wearing 60's style kit and the club could sell such shirts too.

I think a lot more can be done to promote the game to the 25 and over section of Wiganers.
