He tried to be the big I'am with OK. OK said don't think so and that meant what happened, happened.

28th of every month

Which players, apart from ex ones, have been saying they've not been paid?

Nothing's been explicitly said (presumably because they've been told to keep quiet this time). It's all been hinted at. Mainly by L'Estrange & Blythe, but I've noticed at least one other staff member also suggest it. Originally I thought nothing of it until someone mentioned it was the 28th of last month too when their wages were due. Then when you put things together, it looks likely. Then Elliott comes out and blatantly says so (news he no doubt got from one of his buddies like Gale).

Hearing that there could as many as three Super League clubs experiencing financial difficulties and/or not paying wages this month.

Any other important news to be announced today @rosshtanda ?

Maybe it's performance related pay this month. That could explain why some not getting paid...

Went to Omar Khan's last week. The bill was just short of £70 shared between 3 of us. We've done our bit to ensure the Bulls wages are paid on time this month.

There you are! You didn't know "William" had a couple of mates did you? Bet that's shocked a few!

None of them Whinos fans though. I've got standards.

The food in Omar Khan's was pretty good too. Not a curry house I frequent that often as I'm usually in the Punjab, Shimla or Karachi.

£70? Does anyone seriously believe that there was as much as 70 there? I've seen lots of wads of notes and believe me, there was 40 at the most.

So basically, there's been no official word that this is anything but malicious gossip by an ex-player who seems to have an axe to grind with the current people in charge at Odsal?
