No he hasn't, certainly not in terms of ability.
If someone says Sutcliffe is too big to be a 6, I could point out that Brad Fittler was around the same size, without 'comparing' them in the way you mean.

Similarly, you are tedious, as is root canal surgery, but Im not comparing the two.

Probably paid 20k for Aston, the amount that Eagles had to raise to stay out of administration

I had this exact same thought

Last time Sheffield were going bust Hetherington did another mutually agreeable deal - that brought us Keith Senior so we couldn't complain once he settled in. The inflated fee didn't save Sheffield, the original version, on that occassion though.

I agree, the best thing for Lilley would be a year on loan in the championship, despite Garry Schofield calling for him to be picked for England at number 7.

He definitely needs to be playing ever week. He may be better at a super league club force year though rather than Fev, as I think he is already too good for that level. I would not be surprised if Aston was loaned back to Sheffield for first year but train full time at Leeds ala what we did with hardaker

Lilley would find it a bit easier playing behind a pack on the front foot rather than one that was getting battered from pillar to post for a lot of last year. He coped pretty well in the circumstances, i think we need to keep him around the squad, he should get a fair amount of game time for us.

How com this move (for Aston) sneaked under the radar of all those folk in the know on here?

Gotcha knew but he was sworn to secrecy.

GH put £13k into Sheffield and that was his total investment (according to GH himself)

Hetherington was hardly a wealthy man! His main investment was 13 years of time, building a club up from literally nothing. Whatever you say about Hetherington, no one else involved in the top level of the game has that kind of experience.

In any event £13k in the 1980s could be considered a considerable investment. I bet it would have bought a decent property back then, or the whole of Cas.

They owed 16k to HMRC,apparently,and the supporters put together 20k.Why would Leeds pay 20k when presumably all contracts were made null and void when they were told they were free to look elsewhere back in September. rlHERErl



When have they gone bust? The RFL 'merged' them with Huddersfield in 1999.They then broke away and started again in the lowest tier.So they started from scratch but didn't,as such,go bust.

probably because nobody in the championship could have ever come up with that one....he is a favour by GH because he will never play....he is probably not in top 6 halfbacks in Championship and his defence and positioning are woeful.....wow
