But this is what happens when you operate differently to other mainstream sports , anomolies like this can happen , in Championship 1 a club could win the GF , but not be promoted , but only this year

In the words of the late Alan 'Fluff' Freeman - "Not Arrf"

Thats what we like to see , humour in the face of adversity , you owd git

Where the fekk would your club be if you were not being bankrolled by Davy? Down the bloody toilet, that's where.

And please explain to us just how, precisely, you are qualified to make such a dumbass statement?
Super statement carping about Giants having a backer whilst busy looking for one for themselves kettle and pot I think or is it just plain jealousy ? Also why does every discussion involving Giants always come down to we get more fans through the gates than you do? Be thankful Davy gave you the money and the players gave you the points you ungrateful wassock.

For very many years you got crowds that barely scraped 3,000.

You still exist.

QED.

No Adeybull that was not what I was implying at all. I would never accuse any professional sports players of deliberatley throwing a game. What I was implying was that the Giants played so badley that they gave the Bulls the points. Does that clear it up for you? Which still leaves the question as to why you think Ken Davy backing the Giants is any different to what you want someone to do for you. I would like to think that if Ken Davy did pull the plug on Giants he wouldn't dump them with 1.5 mill debt unpaid players and unpaid tax.

I'm sure "Sir Ken" wouldn't do that, he seems like a nice chap. But if he did pull out, a couple of years after he had gone, based on the crowds you pull, minus the wages and other overheads you would be up to your neck in the brown stuff in a very similar situation to us.

Would the RFL pay the players' bonuses?

Doesn't advancement in the play-offs trigger higher prize monies to the club? If so, I guess that would cover it.

I know the monies paid for winning the comp, can be given to the players as a bonus, and it also doesn't count towards the cap.....

Not sure about the play off money though!

think any extra from the playoffs will likely mean that the RFL/SLE will have to advance less to pay the monthly bills

Unless the player's contracts specify how much comes to them as a "win bonus".

I'm not thinking about the money going to the players as a bonus, more along the lines that it's income for the club and they could then afford to pay the wages anyway. They could have an incentive bonus in their contracts though..
