Can't say fairer than that. And I don't think Mr Steele came out with a direct accusation. There may be some slight misquote/misinterpretation.

Personally I have no problem with Fev or Leigh spending money to try get their team to the highest level-as long as they do so within agreed rules.
From memory I think Probiz guy was with us for one season on the money front but left? I wonder why that was? If he has now gone to Fev and is bank rolling them then so be it. Looks like Leigh have found a benefactor also by the look of their squad?
Clearly we do not have the same funding ,from what was said last night, and with crowds of 1500 we aren't going to be able to compete with the above two.
Whilst coach and chairman were fairly downbeat about us getting into SL at this time, I would rather have at least the option than the closed shop we had previously. Franchise system nearly killed the game and as happens with 'normal ' sports we can now get back to P&R-and chase that top tier goal-no matter how long it takes!!!!
We've waited 10 years so we can wait a little while longer if we have to!
Sport has a funny way of biting the 'have's' on the bum-just when you least expect it.
Let's see who walks the walk over the coming season.
No coincidence over the years Fax have had their best times when they have been overlooked in favour of those with more money!

So long as I'm able to watch Halifax RLFC in a competitive game of RL I'm happy. If we miss out on the circus above I'll not lose much sleep.

Michael Norris. Financial Director of Leigh Centurions.

Well done. Jesus I'm starting to despair at our club now.

I`d hazard a guess they`re spouting crap... unless they want to do the honourable thing and give whatever information they have on the matter to the RFL.

Rich , you WONT miss out on the Circus m I will see to that , after all you have a bigger Clown than me in GFB , he seems obsessed by what is happening at Leigh and the Salary Cap , everybody can see the Green in his eyes .We at Leigh have a very good BOM who are totally committed to steering the Club to success , both on and off the field , our off field Fundraising is tremendous at the moment , our Sponsership has never been as big , don't let the Small minded stirrers on the Forum affect your opinions or judgement , ive heard GFBs middle name is Rumplestiltskin .

I guess if you keep your eyes peeled the Courier may do a write up.



Out of interest if the RFL gave you written confirmation then how do the two checks part way through the season work? We heard on Monday that there would be a check part way through the season where any teams in breach would be asked what they are doing to sort out the problem and then another check near the end where it would be decided if any team has a case to answer for the following season. Who is correct?

I did chuckle at the no tweaking bit though.

It was explained that when the interim check was made, clubs that were in danger of spending over the 40% of turnover (was that the figure?) would then be asked how they would either increase turnover, or decrease spending prior to the final report been sent.

Was also good to have the Sam Barlow situation explained properly and hopefully now put to bed.

What was that Brew re SB...??

He was injured and out for a couple of games that we won.
When he was fit he expected to come straight back but Karl
elected to keep the winning team unchanged.He spat dummy
and asked for a transfer and left.

May be you used the threat of DB twerking to get players to lower their demands.

And as Karl said, if you don't want to be at Halifax....
