That is how we will emulate Wigan.

Tell me though, how do we get all the money to do this when we are skint?'"

look there is no religation for a few years there is time to find a coach who can build a team that can compete its not all doom and gloom. if all faith has gone in your current coach then look at who else is available and compare to what you have is kear any better what about noble or karl harrison whoever you replace your coach with it will take quite some time to get things right.

Despite the many inaccuracies in your post, you have a point if you're skint.

Yeah, I thought that if the ref had been fair, Bradford would have breezed it.

OK.

Quote: debaser "Yes, all we have to do is poach the coach of the World Champion club side,'"


APPROACHED, not poached. He came of his own free will.

Quote: debaser " find a world record fee to take their best player from them.'"


Funny, I don't remember signing Shontayne Hape, Lesley Vainikolo or Paul Deacon from you in 2005.

Quote: debaser "Then get the RFL to kibosh Dobsons move to another side yet overlook it when we come calling.'"


Isn't this libel? Dobson needed a work permit, we got one having signed him.

Quote: debaser "Then we can cheat our way out of trouble then try and take the moral high-ground whilst our shameful fans sit all smug and arrogant whilst completely blinkered to the whole issue.'"


Where shall I start with this one... we didn't spend over the cap, we were accused of a technical breach after we re-negotiated contracts with players who weren't performing to the standard required... something suggested on these boards by fans of many clubs, including your own. Despite not spending over the cap, we were fined and docked anyway, and still not allowed to spend the money we had supposedly been over the cap with. Meanwhile, Bradford cheated their way to a Grand Final victory in the same year by ACTUALLY spending over the cap.

With the same number of breaches of the salary cap as Wigan (if you include the above "technical" breach), Bradford are in no position to say we're cheats any more than they are. However, we can look on the bright side, no-one has broken the cap more times than St Helens.

Quote: debaser "That is how we will emulate Wigan.'"


Well, you could look to produce some new young talent instead, which is what I was ACTUALLY suggesting. It worked for Leeds, too. Unfortunately there's been a habit at Bradford of producing talent (e.g. Rearden) and then letting them go in favour of aging New Zealanders.

Quote: debaser "Tell me though, how do we get all the money to do this when we are skint?'"


Have you pledged?

Quote: debaser "He can't. He is clueless.'"


LOL. That's a good one. Still the abusive liar, then.

Actually (and unusually for you) that is fekking bollox.

Our cap breach arose because someone at the RFL decided that the image rights an unconnected third party was paying to Harris should be fall within the cap. Even though the same policy was not followed for e.g Stains and Scully and Gillette.

Your breach was for seeking to manipulate payments to players between years IIRC. The RFL rules you spent over the cap, despite your attempts to argue that the payments related to subsequent years.

Also, IIRC, you were fined considerably more than we were. And the RFL ruling wording was considerably harsher towards you than us.

And before anyone says any bollox about Morley - I understand we did not pay Morley any more than normal finishing position bonuses. He played to keep up his match fitness for the subsequent internationals.

Oh, the Saints fan who couldn't remember which team he supported? And claimed the notebook incident was intended to prove Saints get away with all sorts even though Saints weren't involved in the game in question?

I don't know, but I assure you, he's no mate of mine. I prefer intelligent people.

Quote: feebleweasel "Actually (and unusually for you) that is fekking bollox.'"


Adey, you clearly know more than what was reported/widely known at the time. I'll take your knowledge on board, but at the same time our "breach" was just as much balderdash, if not more.

Quote: feebleweasel "Your breach was for seeking to manipulate payments to players between years IIRC. The RFL rules you spent over the cap, despite your attempts to argue that the payments related to subsequent years.'"


Nope, certain players took a pay CUT to free up space under the cap in order to sign Fielden. The terms offered were for a slight reduction to their contracts, but an extra year on the length of them. This was widely reported and well known information, there was no underhandedness to it, think of it like the Government and their cuts... Actually, no, maybe don't. 9.96435546875:10
