Well, some of it is, some of it most certainly isn't. With regards to numbers, some people are more than happy to disclose their salaries and details of their employment package. Some aren't. That happens in all walks of life and certainly includes rugby players! So we can genuinely come to a relatively reasonable figure of what some players are on and how that might affect a clubs cap. Some of the numbers quoted have been astronomic by comparison with recent years for some of the players in our league.
Poor loser? Perhaps. But the strategy of forcing up a price to either a) get the player or b )failing to get the player, ensure opposition club pays through the nose.. appears to have worked Col.

You and I know that Tonka and barlow are costing a wad..., just as we know Andy Ellis is.

Like I said, I'm much more than just happy at the way things have turned out. If you are then it's tickety boo isn't it?

Bit of a "geezer" then is he, this Mark Campbell?

I wonder if he kept upping the bid for the Hull KR stadium revampers - pushed the price up a bit for Hull KR and then pulled out and bought some shedding from Scarborough?

Luvvly jubbly.

Ask him!!

He's a very approachable bloke.

CHOKE, were in the final 2nd year running idiot, were are you

That's "where", you short ar sed illiterate monkeyboy!

You won't be taking your top off flaunting those horrible man paps all around the gay bars of Warrington again will you??


edit - and we're in the final for the 3rd year running you NUMPTY!!

Mark Cambell has his way of doing things and they have been ok for us. He upped the price you paid for Tonks and Barlow deliberatly and it worked, he told me himself he would get us a very strong squad this year and he has been true to his word, call it unproffesional or whatever you like , he will do for me will Mark

Listen ginger when thaz on 12 hour neeeets its whatever i type.
Yes the top will be off

For 99% of your waking life you talk utter carp. However, this is the 1% where you call it bang on.

Suggy talks sense??? Who'd have thought it??

Tonks and Barlow will be costing us a good bob or two; if it turns out that, these contracts are to the detriment of any others signings to build a strong squad, you have to look at the club and coach and question why we have done such a thing. One things for sure, it wont be these 2 that give us the expansive attractive rugby we crave; they can build the platform, but we need halves and creative players to do the rest; Personally I dont think we need them both;

Both good players very good, but with them in your team you still only managed 3rd, will they help you take the next step, im not sure. Would of loved them in our team when we were after them and was gutted we didnt get them. But now im thinking im glad we didnt and ended up with the players we have and there is another big one on the way so the rumours say

Rich as Mrs Brown would say ,"THATS NICE ", .

Aye! The big one on the way might well be HMRC. ......and for your information we signed Tonka and Barlow for far less than Campbell offered!

No we didn't.

I'm an idiot?

I think I said that we aspire to be in as many finals as you. You do the mid season graft superbly which I envy as a Faxfan. Ask one of your mates to read the post to you again.

Well done Fev...You will win another GF. You may correct me with an odd mistake but I'm pretty sure you've 'CHOKED' against US every time it really matters which was my point? I'll accept a game you might throw in now but I remember a GF, a NR semi at POR and a NR final at Blackpool. I wasn't having a pop, I was saying you do the hard graft well which gets you to finals that we don't, but by calling me an idiot then I'm happy to remind you that you can't beat Fax when it really matters

Go away.
