To be fair, you can't really disagree with this statement


If I was told that my wages were late going in to my bank account because the accountant was "reviewing" something, I'd be pretty pee'd off, and wouldn't care who's fault it is.

Hard to argue with that - who wouldn't be hacked off if their wages were 3 months late?

The RFL is skint after bailing about Bradford

The RFL has many faults, but it is not responsible for paying off the ARL's debts.

Sort it RFL

Not wanting to criticise anybody here , but is this the way to encourage International competition ?

Um, if the RFL owes the ARL the money they kinda are.

Although if the payments agreed with the Aussie players was an ARL contract, then the ARL is responsible for meeting it's obligations to the players and the money the ARL is owed contractually shouldn't matter?

Either way, if the RFL owe the ARL money, then it's a poor show that they haven't gotten it sorted out, yet.

Seems to be a lot of blame being thrown around. How can we make accusations without knowing the financial agreements and the nature of costs incurred.

I'm not an accountant but I would imagine they will want explanation for expenses and won't pay out until they are satisfied. I'm not saying this is the case, but it's usually the sort of thing that slows payment down.

It's a shame the Australian players have not been paid and would be interesting to know if others have.

The fact that the RFL owes the ARL money has no relationship to the fact that the ARL owes its players money.

Sort it out.

These aresn't wages, it's prize money from a tournament hosted by the RFL.

Sure we had this exact same issue in 2010
