Les Tonks Sidestep

Yeah, it's that simple....

Isn't the ground on a (very) long term lease rather than owned?

Prop Robson Stevens the latest addition https://featherstonerovers.co.uk/rovers-bring-in-stevens-for-2025/

Doubt it. It's almost (as with licencing) like the financial criteria don't actually measure how viable and sound a club is. Also note Halifax's financial score went up from the indicative gradings despite their publicised financial problems.

Bookmaker in not backing a loser shock....

It really doesn't work like that. We've had almost 30 years of SL and still there aren't enough players for 12 competitive, nevermind 14, teams - see also football where teams promoted to the PL struggle to recruit enough quality players to survive.

So where are the 50 or so SL quality players needed for 2 more teams coming from? Last season there were 2 teams well off the pace and another 2 not that much better....

According to Kevin Nicholas "it is now sorted and although it is not the score we wanted it is what it is." No idea what the score is though.

Bradford (same as last season although with one less game): Prices start at £210 for adults, £190 for concessions, £100 for students and £12 for juniors. Sheffield: Standing Adult £200, Concession £150, Junior £20, Seat Adult £230, Concession £180, Junior £60

No worse than the current....

I think the idea is only if the bottom club is a B would they be relegated, not the lowest finishing B.

Might not need to. There appear to be rumours that a p/r scheme where the Championship winners are promoted and the bottom SL club relegated if they are both grade Bs* might be included in the rejigging of the IMG system that is also being rumoured to be happening. *as I believe several clubs thought was going to be the case originally.

Again on this thread you're making a very serious allegation.

As ive said before, after his foul-mouthed rant against the RFL, Rimmer and other officials a few years ago, he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the game in any accredited capacity.

TBF neither would most heartlands clubs.....

My post was pointing out the difference in the 2 situations.

I believe he passed the 'in game' HIA so a different situation entirely, although it is probably something else that needs to be reviewed - AFAIK the 'other' code's rules would have meant he had to be immediately substituted and not allowed to return.

....to be released Tuesday 26th November.

So Hoyle could soon prove that he's a bigger idiot than I thought....

In the same way Wigan has Leigh.....

Bradford Northern......

Looks as though the badge issue has been fixed

Seems also to be a bit hit and miss, sometimes working, sometimes not.
