Why not. Their reserved beat a virtual full strength wakey in pre season. They looked fit fast and strong

Any SL club with a big squad will be happy to loan players to us, to contribute to paying their wages and give them SL experience. It's not a charity, and grateful as we may be to Tony Smith and others, they're only doing it in the interest of their own clubs. As soon as these kids look like world beaters, or injuries hit, we'll be back where we were.

It went south after a few clubs helped a team enter the super league by giving them money to make sure they made a go of it, with assurances that this team would fight the lower leagues corner, which never happened



payback time .... no sympathy whatsoever

Salt and vinegar with your huge chip?

Why was it that when London and Crusaders fell over, by and large other clubs did not immediately come in for their players - yet when you fall over the vultures are straight in?



Surely there cannot have been some edict from Rot Hall telling clubs hands off for those two, yet no such edict for you guys?



Can't think of anything else though that would account for the dramatic difference in circumstances. Any of you guys got any ideas?

The Parkin none deal cost the administrator's a fair wedge and the sales were to recover this, or so I think I read in one of the many links on this forum.

It certainly feels that way; from the outside looking in, one could surmise that the delay in declaring Mr Glover a 'fit and proper person' created a convenient window in which the administrator could fatally weaken our playing staff. An uncompetitve WTW would make the pre-determined decision to boot us out of SL a much less politically uncomfortable one for the RFL to spin.



To quote the late, great Kurt Cobain, "Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you."

Do you not think the players have a right to worry about their future career, Family and income ?.

If my job was at risk or i was potentially not being paid. i would be happy with being sold off to another club who will pay my wages, Especially when that club is guarenteed to stay in the elite.



If the ship is sinking then follow the rats and get overboard before its too late.

What has that to do with my question?

Not much, To be fair though, at the time did london and crusaders have anyone worth buying ?.

As has been mentioned on another thread Bradford wanted to sign Rob Purdham fron London but the RFL told them to back off.
