Who is the most astute Super League club boss?

I think that it is down to five men, who have shown talent both in building their club into a powerful competitive force, and in bringing new perspectives to the growth of rugby league in the northern hemisphere.

Ian Lenagan (Wigan) -- Grand Final winner 2018
Eamonn McManus (St Helens) -- League Leaders Shield 2018
Simon Moran (Warrington) -- Grand Final and Challenge Cup runners up 2018
Gary Hetherington (Leeds) -- former Grand Final and Challenge Cup winner
Bernard Guasch (Catalans) -- Challenge Cup winner 2018

My vote goes to Ian Lenagan, who is a man of supreme intelligence and culture, as well as being a very successful business man. He has brought these talents to his club and the game in general.

One of them has made a very good living out of the game by making both clubs he's been involved in strong on and off the pitch.

The others have all ploughed millions of their own money into making their clubs successful with varying degrees of success.

Lenagan has presided over falling crowds and huge losses at Wigan, one of the game's marquee clubs.

If we're following the conventional definition of "astute" there's only one winner, and it's also the person with the most trophies to his name.

Not another poll that certain posters can’t vote.

What a waste of time, clearly someone has too much time on their hands

Yep its seems i never get to vote.

Another sick bag moment.

I can't vote either, and I created the poll.

Can the Mods or Administration please rectify this problem -- that many forum contributors cannot vote in polls? The submit button just does not work for us.

On what basis?

Making a profit - Gary Hetherington
Growing the game - Bernard Guasch

If Lenaghan is a man of supreme intelligence and culture, why has he replaced his superstar Tomkins with a student beating homophobe?

Out of that mob, Hetherington by a country mile, but on current form it’s Michael Carter hands down!

Why only five choices, last time I looked there were twelve teams in super league,

You have to occupy your mind with something when your always jet setting across the world.

Lenners easily.

Transformed the biggest club in RL from Losers to Winners.

Lenners is the real deal.

Hetherington for the exact same reason, plus look at how OUR stadium has transformed with the huge amount of money spent on it whereas Wigan just lodge at Wigan Athletic’s ground.

Lenners has bought a stadium for Wigan!

Hetherington is overseeing Leeds decline!

HTH

Really? They should use it to play in sometime then.

The latter point is wishful thinking.

This'll end up like Brexit, with one group then another, arguing for a further poll with slightly different criteria, until they get the answer that suits them.
I just cannot be bothered.

I didn't realise that he owned Wigan Athletic as well as Wigan Warriors, thanks for that.

Surely it should be the owner of Cas?

Where is this stadium that Lenners has bought for Wigan?

To my knowledge Lenners is still paying rent on the stadium that you reckon he owns?


Please enlighten us Ziggy as to where this new ground for Wigan Warriors is that Lenners has bought for you



Or will Wigan Warriors still be renting the "Lehegan stadium" for 2019?

You heard of Edge Hall Road??

You heard of Central Park Sports College??

Lenners owns plenty of assets, may just be selling Edge Hall Road to buy another stadium quite close to the DW one.

Similar to a few Aussie setups, next thing you'll be claiming the Roosters and Souths own Allianz...

........ but not a Rugby League stadium. Your use “Lenners” makes grown ups throw up.

Lenners owns a stadium..

But not as big as Mr Whelan's.

Lenners gets a great deal without the overheads..



Lenners still owns his own stadium and sports college..



Nice one Lenners lad, get the polish out again..
