In that case, I am sorry. Carry on with your marquees...

I assumed it was:
'Marque - the mast valuable asset of a corporation.'

So even though it is spelt marquee, it is pronounced marque? Ok....

Nope, it's pronounced as written, with an "ee"

Bradford and Salford have apparently agreed on a transfer fee for Whitehead. It's now up to Elliot if he wants to go and play for the Reds. All from Ross at the T&A's twitter feed.

At least we now know the identity of the "top 4 club" Mr Whitehead wishes to join if he does.

Hopefully the signifiicant amount is at least the 100k we put on his head. And hopefully that will help us keep the players in the squad who want to be here and go towards adding others who also want to play for us next year.

Good if its sorted, it has the potential to be damaging to both us and whitehead if it dragged on.

Looks like EW has 3 choices:

1) Reject and pray to god a "Top 4" club comes for him.

2) Comes back with his tail between his legs and apologies to Bradford.

3) Takes the offer lines his pockets and is a total hypocrite, but wont better himself.

I rekon is going to be the 3rd option.

Hope he takes the offer, we need to move on and start to build for next season.

£100,000 would help too..

Salford think they're getting a front row forward though according to the MEN...

Obviously tapped up.

Top 4 my Harris.

Top 4 next year after all the cash has been splashed on Marquee players!

BTW - it's Aris not Harris, is it not?

Aris - Aristotle - Bottle - Bottle and Glass - Ar$e

Cockneys

Much better this goes through now while players are still available for us to spend the transfer fee and Elliot's cap space on than it drag on into off season when most players are signed up for next year. May mean we can make improved offers to some of players that are borderline retentions/targets too.

It's MEN editorial policy that there has to be a minimum of 1 glaring factual error in any Rugby League related article.

Good, lets get the deal over the line so we can plan ahead for next year.
