They're asking people to train full time for no guaranteed income.
That's absolutely ridiculous!

Doesn't bode well does it? Already trying to scrimp on basic things like win bonus and guaranteed pay. For a pro club to do that, it sounds like there's isn't much in the pot. Or that the pot is in already glowing red.

I do hope all this is just rumour.

One thing we won't get is any clear statement from the club, or any statement at all. It is really worrying.

How can you ask someone to give up their job and not offer them any money for it?!
It really has me worried. I was in the camp of people that thought that they were spending the bare minimum to stay in the league before investing next year, but now I wonder if there's any money.

Are we talking about the under 19s winning pay been stopped

I'm talking about (potential) first team players being asked to train full time and offered appearance money.

This is confusing now. Is it just the 19s that have had their winning pay of £45 per win stopped. If they are all under contract there will be no appearance money just contract money and win bonus

Bit late in the day, if it were true, to govern retrospectively imo. Would show not only lack of understanding of the Club's position but a flawed business start up plan.Hope none of this is true and due only to the delays in banking approvals.I'm dismayed if the RFL didn't foresee a problem, so soon after sanctioning their 'selection' the go ahead. Worryingly, for me, is the continued lack of any visible financial funding/backing to enable and assist in re-establishing the Club.Further complicated by MG's tweets anticipating 'good news' and 'wait for the 100 days assessment' tweets.
Gotta hope we're jumping the gun on this.

Didn't our new owners meet the RFL criteria to provide and prove funding for the next three years? All very strange if that was met....

I guess they must have done Frank, or they surely wouldn't now be the owners, would they...

Don't take a genius to work out who you are talking about, really hope this isn't the case but guess its come from his mouth. Not right to prey on the side of somebody wanting a chance to prove themselves wouldnt be surprised to see him walk away come the end of the trial period

Okay, so this might just be while he's on trial then?
Presumably if the club offered him a contract, he'd be in the same situation as the other squad members.

What would be normal standard procedure for somebody on a trial period?

Lilley not in Leeds squad so hopefully with us.

The Polish forward is still in there square though which is disappointing for us as we really need forwards.

Or rubbish what's been said on here and sign a deal on his terms that still allows him to pursue his PT business.

Just a reminder that BCB Radio 106.6FM will be covering the game between Toulouse and Bradford at Stade Ernest-Argeles from 4.00pm till 8.00pm on Saturday evening.
