Having watched Aston's interview at the end of the game, and I know he's a whinger, I think the point he was trying make was that feels that he's an honest guy and an agreement was made between Halifax/Barlow and Sheffield that he wouldn't play against them, but obviously Halifax/Barlow had gone back on their word. I really don't think his issue is that they'd have won if Barlow hadn't played but felt he'd been stabbed in the back. So I suppose he has certain amount of creedance in his moan.........IMO.

yup - agreed!

Sheffield paid for poor discipline giving fax good position to score off at a crucial point in the game, and exposing Millsy's ineptitude under the high ball.

Sam Barlow was nothing but a side issue last night. His contribution to the game would not have significantly changed the result.

Sheffield contributed as much to their own undoing last night!

Whether or not Mark Aston, or Sheffield Eagles have a genuine gripe, is known to Aston, maybe Barlow and his concience, and perhaps Halifax RLFC. If Barlow is proven to have broken a contract/agreement, I hope he is exposed and the book thrown at him.
If Aston if spluttering vague inferences about another players dishonesty without due cause, he too should be collared for libel!!!

Or perhaps, with the result now out of the way, we can settle down and look forrad to the final eh????

He intimated similar sentiments over Worrincey signing for Halifax. Just like we did over Mickey Higham & Brad Davis blah blah blah, so what.

the "so what" is the consequences if he follows it up and is found in favour - the "so what" could be unpleasant for the player and possibly fax.

However, as I suspect, the matter will die a death, Sheff will prep for next season, fax will prep for next week!!!

C'est la vie!
At least they'll be more of an atmos at warrington

Poor Loser. End Of. Aston should wind his neck in...

Including mergers...

Maybe so, and maybe it highlights how the game and people's honesty/ integraty has changed since the days when Aston was a player and beyond? I'm sure he felt that when someone gives you their word you stick to it........clearly not anymore.

I expect you can take liberties with the RFL when one of your supporters is the "big" cheese.

Hethrington?

Bigger. Literally.

Hang on, let me get this one right.

You reckon Fax take liberties with the RFL because of Nigel Wood?









Have a word!!
