Confirmed in today's T & A that the players were not paid on Friday.

Here we go again...

Looks like we owe the opening poster an apology...

Has it? Because it certainly doesn't appear to have been online

If it's not online, it never happened.

Ah I missed that. Given it's the 3rd month as reported, you'd think Ross would make a bigger issue of it. But I suppose paid late is not the same as not paid.

Given that it was a throwaway line in a story about beating your lot who are in worse state than we are and I was looking for an actual story on the matter, it's not surprising I missed it, is it

Only being paid 1 working day late is actually an improvement. We're heading in the right direction, obviously.

Not really news any more, it's become the norm.

Besides, it might be classed as negative. Which would immediately bring about the usual idiots shouting him down for reporting those negative facts.

Gledhill saying on Twitter that he's been told it's due to the club changing banks.

I'm sure Mick doesn't believe it himself, he's just passing on the info. In fact, I'd be amazed if anyone believed that with it being the third month on the trot they haven't been paid.

For what? We all KNOW the club is in dire financial straits (winding up petitions, unpaid wages, failure to qualify for playoffs etc) - the bigger surprise to me would always be if we DID have enough to pay everything on time, given the depths to which we've sunk. I keep saying similar ... but I genuinely believe some people think that if nothing bad has happened for a couple of weeks, then we must've solved all our problems and everything must be hunky dory. It's not.

And as I also keep saying, the immediate lack of cash is directly the players' responsibility anyway - for example, a 10K-15K home crowd against the Rhinos would have got everybody paid. To say nothing of the shortfall in next year's funding that losing to Featherstone has disastrously caused.

By my reckoning (and I've been fearing the worst as you all know since the Fev debacle) Green is working minor miracles to keep the wheels on the bus. Not that he gets much credit for it.

People can go on and on whingeing about late payments etc. but none of them suggest WHERE TF we are supposed to get the cash to pay them.

80's concert?

Additional revenue streams?
