Media & PR Manager Phil Daly said, "It is great to get through the 12,000 barrier especially to kick off World Club Challenge week when there will be so much interest in the club. The fact that only Brisbane and the Warriors have more followers on Twitter is a testament to how well we have done. It is a great tool for communicating direct with fans and getting feedback from them. Our matchday tweets are always very popular as we update throughout the game and try to inject some humour although obviously they are a bit biased at times, hopefully not too much though!
"It would be great to think that we could challenge the Warriors for second spot in the next few weeks and then go for top spot and the Broncos," added Daly.
