Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Perfectly normal for all prize money to go into the players pot , If the fax players are not on the same I'd be very surprised

IF LOVING FAX IS WRONG I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT:40304.jpg |

This is where Des gets it wrong. For him winning is about money when it should be about winning for the sake of winning
Don't care if they are on a hundred grand each to win - it makes no odds.
Does he seriously think they will give it more just because of the cash on offer. If anything it just adds pressure

As has already been posted , if it is 5 grand a man it is not coming out of his pocket but is just the prize money divided up amoung the players , normal practice at all clubs both SL and below |

Barrow for Super League 2015: |

| Quote: griffax "
The thing that I think gets on most peoples threppenies is the fact that the guy just seems to be power mad. I know the RFL didnt want to present the lasgue leaders shield until the home game against us, but why did he have to collect it? surely It was the players who had earned it? They could have given them the sheild after the game? '"
It wasn't just the players that earned it, it was everyone associated with Barrow RL including Des and the other (unknown to most) members of the BOD who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
Des received the Shield because THE RFL INSTRUCTED THE CLUB THAT THEY WOULD PRESENT THE SHIELD TO DES AT 7:15pm BEFORE THE FAX MATCH. Jon Livesey (Vice Chairman), posted the e-mail from the RFL on the Barrow Forum to that effect.
Many fans outside South Cumbria have the impression that DJ is an enemy of the sport and throws his cash around like confetti. Anyone who has dealt with him (agents/players etc) know all too well that that isn't the case. He drives a very hard bargain. (and BTW, the RFL are full of praise for what Barrow RL has achieved in the last couple of years and see Des as a breath of fresh air). |

He'd be better off just keeping quiet & letting the players take the glory & the plaudits they deserve for what they have achieved over the past couple of years'"
The RFL dictated WHEN the shield was to be presented. There is no way on this earth a player getting hyped up for the BIGGEST game in Barrows recent history would leave the changing room prior to K.O. Would you have expected your captain to leave the changing rooms so close to K.O. Des handed the shield to the players the second the game finished. Worry about your own Chairman and BoD and we will enjoy what our Chairman & BoD are doing for Barrow. Like your mate said above - Its getting boring and embarrassing now !!
Fact is a great deal of you wish your Chairman would put his money where his mouth is and show some passion for the cause !! Not all but a fair few !! |

So Fax players aren't on Win bonuses ? Get a grip man !!! If Fax win on Sunday I guarantee they will be on around £5,000 a man. |

More like a fart in a blanket, insidious and difficult to eradicate |
