I didn't know Dave Allen made all those Documentaries.
Only caught the second half of this but his jokes made me laugh all over again. They also amused my son who hasn't seen that much of Mr Allen

we have had a few new visitors this year, loads of goldfinches, beautiful birds and have seen a few siskins.

Is that Brimham Rocks?
-
My garden has had all the usual vistors, long tailed ####, gold finches, and a solo woodpecker
We feed them all year wonder if that makes a difference.

It's an eagle silly boy!

Well done Wigan. Fully deserved, best team won. Saints pack failed to turn up. Graham behaving like a brat didn't help.
-
Ratchford is injured at the moment. He needs to get that sorted for next season.

There is also free parking on the eccles tram line. It can be found at Ladywell and is a short walk across the red bridge from the tram stop. The Eccles tram is also cheaper.

but they don't monitor them really do they james? reading that it is a bog standard thing that every large organisation has to adopt, and really they do nothing at the end of the day.
The offer is there but you can't make people take it.
Depression is a dificult illness to deal with. There isn't the same logic and the sufferer will see things through different eyes.
I hope the RFL do look at what they offer players both during their careersand at the end. The army send soldiers on resettlement courses maybe the RFL need to ensure players are equiped to deal with the end of their careers.

Very sad news.
We were on holiday and the hotel printed top stories I was shocked to say the least.
I have read many comments on here about the RFL not helping players under bans. Do we know that this is the case?
There must be some personality traits with players that give 100% and wear their heart on the sleeve.
Very sad and his poor family have to live with it.
Great player who made poor choices.

Most players sign SL contracts which as nulled if relegated.

So reading this.....
Next season Salford will have the best fullback in Super league

Old news Wendall, there was a post here about 10 days ago.
That;s what happens when you paste stuff from the MEN.
-
I only disputed the "played"
Did he play for the big house as well?
-
saying Reid played for Salford is stretching it somewhat. He signed but forgot to mention a very important date he had, Salford sacked him before the season started.
-
Why don't you ask him? Dare you?
He is soft, he lost his cool with Salford fans a couple of years ago.
-
He is injury prone, he isn't good enough for SL.
Had some great games for Salford but I would be really dsiaapointed if he had stayed. Not great business.

The costs involving both Bankruptcy and Winding up isn't too great. The law costs are usually less than

That's a thought..........
What assets would the "New Company" buy??
Belle Vue has been sold, so are we talking about posts, tackle bags, portakabin, balls, and fax and photocopier from the office??
Oh! That's the solution - if they have flogged Belle Vue they can pay the taxman out of the proceeds surely?
Contracts, good will, the name, all teh stuff you mention loads of stuff really

Wakefield wouldn't receive anything. If they are wound up they cease to exist. A new Company would be formed probably "buying" the assets from the liquidator.
Many petitions are presented but dismissed or withdrawn. It is not a guarantee an Order will be made. Clock ticking for Wakefield to amke a deal with Revenue and Customs and stick to it.
Sad to see any company going bust.

In what way are Widnes different to Cas and Salford who were both relegated, stayed full time, and spent huge money to get back into SL? How can you criticise other clubs for doing exactly what yours did? Cas and Salford must have huge historical debts, but are inside the elite group. How has the licence system benefitted anyone other than those in SL? Steve O'Connor came in at Widnes before the licences were handed out. How has licensing benefitted Widnes or changed the way Steve O'Connor operates the club relative to how he did before Widnes were denied a licence? The funding gap between SL and the Championship is massive, and any club that drops down now will be stripped bare of any assets. Under the old promotion and relegation system, a club's fate was decided by how it performed on the pitch. Now it's down to the subjective opinions of a few unknown officials. Llooking at crowds, historical debt levels, on field performance, player development and facilities I would much rather be a Wakefield of Cas fan than a Salford one at licence decision time
salford and Cas both remained solvent, they didn't leave creditors waiting to be paid. It is called living within your means.
Steve O'connor came in too late. He has had 3 years to prove he is there and so is the money. Widnes are a better club on and off field because of him, at the time of the frnchise he was just another guy makingpromises, ask Wakefield about that sort of bloke. He has now delivered.
Under the old system you had a year to get back or change everything and be asset stripped. If you go down now, you know it is for 3 years and there is no panic or reckless spending.
If Salford lose out it will be disappointing but rather than buy old aussies we have 3 years to develop some you players.
it isn't a perfect system but neither was P&R

Simms I think has 100% record coaching Salford
He isn't a problem as he deals with contracts etc.McRae has something like a 25% win record which is poor. Harrison started the season well but lost a huge number of games, the time was right for him to go.
Salford can't afford to sack McRae at present and this may be a chance to side line him. We need a man manager and someone who can develop the young talent coming through. I don't see McRae being able to do this.
-
So leigh have failed to reach any of the last 3 GFs?
under the old rules they wouldn't have been promoted either.
widnes have also failed so under the old rules wouldn't be anywhere near.
I look at Widnes now and see the benefits of the franchise system. They speculated and lost large sums of money to chase the SL dream before franchises, now they appear to be a team with so much more going for them. The only thing I don't know is whether like some others (Solly and Huddesfield) they are too dependant on O'Connor.

It seems salford have advertised for another assistant to McRae this will be in addition to Alker.
Reports in France and rumours on RL Fans seem to suggest ian Millward.
Is this another Rabbitohs move coming on and McRae to be sidelined for the last year of his contract?
I know some Leigh fans are unhappy with his efforts this season, but they went from relegation to play offs.
Salford need a man manger, someone who is straight talking. doesn't rely on media/political waffle like McRae.

A good photo well composed will always be that. Post production editing will only go so far in improving the shot.
Anyway, I've just been given a new canon camera
they have developed since I bought my 450. Feel as if I have to learn it all again!
