Hethrington wont allow it irrespective of what you say.
What on earth are you talking about
You don't know Leeds very well if you think they don't pay transfer fees, sometimes very big ones.

Just got my email from the board at Salford. Some interesting information regarding the cuts to funding under the new deal.
Can you copy/paste the content on here? It's been reported second hand but I can't find the original anywhere.

How much are Leeds in debt now?
Leeds are the most financially secure club in the league, as we'll see over the next couple of days.
20 minutes ago, idrewthehaggis said:Yup. The club whose crowds have increased, who received a silly but welcomed fee for Dupree, raised £1/3m from the fans, is applying for associated grants up to £1m plus due to the community club status and will receive 1/5th of food and drink revenues from next year.
Some bad news old chap: the grants are delayed, your 20% food and drink thing doesn't appear to have been based on an actual signed contract and the RFL's further reduction in central distributions seems to have blindsided your board.
Please don't shoot the messengers.

What makes you think Leeds will outbid everyone else ?
Because they can.

Yes just read that about Croft.Salford must have serious financial issues if they are happy to sell their prized asset.
I'm pretty sure the only reason they signed him to that long contract was to cash in on him later so it probably shouldn't surprise or distress them.
Leeds will outbid anyone else, the question is what does the player want. And what NRL get out clauses will be needed.

Google 'Penrith Panthers' today for some fireworks.

Well... I've been told that maybe we are buying the cricket ground back from Yorkshire.
I imagine Hetherington and Caddick would do anything to avoid having Mike Ashley as a neighbour!

New naming rights sponsor for the stadium I think. Should an worth around £400k a year to the club.

How many people listen to Dave Woods RL podcast on BBC Sounds? There are over 100 episodes.
I used to listen to it all the time. I can't remember if it's always been like this or I'm just getting less tolerant of it but I find Woods's chummy inanity with (usually) Kevin Brown really irritating whilst their discussion of the topics at hand is superficial at best. If the subject or guest isn't of immediate interest to me I just delete it now.

Just to bring some facts to this, it is unusual for the BBC not to report the NRL GF result.
2022 - NRL Grand Final: Penrith Panthers beat Parramatta Eels 28-12 to retain title
2021 - can't find a report
2020 - NRL Grand Final: Melbourne Storm win thriller in front of 37,000 fans
2019 - Sydney Roosters beat Canberra Raiders to win NRL Grand Final
2018 - NRL Grand Final: Sydney Roosters spoil Melbourne Storm's Billy Slater farewell

The BBC have broadcast a national play off highlights package for about 20 years.

Brisbane have taken so many poor options since going in front. I don’t get this short drop out or firing it hard and low nonsense, when you are winning just out a normal drop out to centre field.
I couldn't believe that Johns and Slater were saying they have to go short every time... have the fundamentals of Rugby League changed?

The ref indicates a Try for Hall grounding the ball, the VR looks for a reason to agree with him to see if the ball touches the floor, he can't see one so he has to agree with the ref it's a try?
The system needs a good dose of looking at.
They absolutely should go back to the original VR system.
But they would still have given that try. Once again, and we seem to have to say this every week, Leigh are not the victims of a conspiracy or error.

They really need to sort out the try-no try situation , it puts the refs in a difficult situation IMO
Unless you go with benefit of the doubt to the defending team (which is never going to happen) that try would have been given under any VR system. The decision to give it was spot on.

They were never going to find anything to overturn that, it was obvious from the first viewing.

Not sure how the correct application of the laws can be described as a controversial call.
I can't remember what the marble mouthed commentator is called but yes that really annoyed me. Getting a decision correct is definitely not controversial and it's not really a controversial law.

Top 5, McIntyre system. Should never have been changed.

I'd quite fancy Warrington in this one if Vaughan wasn't missing. The pressure is completely off them and that should work to their advantage and I think St Helens have a soft underbelly this year - and a lesser coaching set up.
However without their best player though it's hard to see a Warrington win.

2. Do clubs get a separate fee for individual Sky TV appearance and if so how much?
On this one: No, their fee is the main Sky payment, they don't get anything additional for appearing on Sky.

I've never understood why Pearson owns Hull. Or what his motivation to stay involved is. He's not particularly wealthy and he's not a longstanding fan as far as I know.
Is he ultimately waiting for a wealthy buyer to come along and take it off his hands, giving him a profit on what he paid and refunding any loans he's personally put in?

Given crowds are a factor in IMG's spreadsheet exercise to what degree do we think some of these figures have been massaged...?

The Transfer Rumour Mill Thread
in The General Rugby League Forum
Posted
Last week clubs were told about a ~£100k threat, which was largely dependent on whether Catalans got to the Grand Final or not. If your club has spun that into an "the RFL never told us about this" then you might want to look closer to home.
