I'll bet Mr Eastwood had him in a head lock by 8.30 this morning demanding his cash.

Jamie Peacock will do the same about 12 midday tomorrow once he has chance to understand what has happened.

That sums up Gawy

But at least they will still have the moral high ground over other Super League clubs.

Bearing in mind they got to play this match, playing within the rules, unlike previous super league clubs before them.

...but that is in a diffferent article altogether and is not what Gary Hetherington was either talking about or sugghesting.

That's right those Leeds mercenaries! not like the stains faithful who play for the love of the club! I bet soliola is pi$$ing himself, loads more cash than he can get in oz for a year off, some comfort for been injured? Gidleys no better! half a good season in the second half of 08. other than that crap for a marque player. Flannery average at best! Meli(does he count) less said about him the better.

If the RFL want somewhere to put the £50k prize money from the WCC then give it to the Rugby League International Federation to fund a development officer somewhere for a year.

Much more worthwhile than giving it to a team that got beat fair and square on the day.

Really?

Yes.

Leeds played Melbourne, 17 versus 17 on the field of play, and lost.

What Melbourne did to put that squad together and whether that breached the rules of another competition they play in doesn't affect the fact that they won the match.

of course it does, I agree about the money though.

That's a good call re-the prize money or put it into the Leeds rugby foundation.
As for calling getting beat fair and square how so if the team put together earned that right to contest the WCC by cheating?
