They have a pretty good setup including (teams) behind the first string as well so someone is paying for it all and thus buying it contrary to what Griffe says.

The money has to be coming from somewhere, I agree with him on wise management but without the cash being there won't be much to manage.

I'm sure to improve, the options the Fax management will be looking at is some form of second string to give more strength in depth and a move to full time but all of this takes money as we all know only too well.

I've picked up that Sheffield are being investigated by the RFL. Allegedly spending money on players that was given to them for community development.

Anyone else heard anything?

That rumour was started by a Batley fan, so i'd be inclined to take it with an entire bag of salt.

Heard the same, dipping in to some community money or something. I heard a director resigned over it but who knows? Have any of their directors left recently? We are still waiting for the 'nailed on' Leigh drug story rumour to come true so it could be one of those also.

Overheard some Eagles fans at Keepmoat saying similar about a Director resigning. Unfortunately missed their thoughts on why!

Got some good lads for fans have the Bullfrogs. Always complimentary, good losers, no chips on their shoulders........

The reason given that I heard was "unable to keep up with the commitments involved in being a director" but "would still be giving support as able to" or on those lines.

The info I have on Leigh is that a few of their players are being monitored closely after providing "suspicious" samples. They haven't failed but the testers weren't happy with the results.
