I don't agree with that.
GH has done a lot of good in the game. I have never heard his name even mentioned at a game or with my friends in a particularly bad way.
He's just vocal on his opinions so draws opinion the other way.
Merry Christmas by the way TP. Hope you got all you wished for today

| Quote: ThePrinter "Whilst Carter doesn’t name names we all know who he’s aiming at with his criticisms of marquee signings and not running reserves, at Chalmers has it in him to be direct unlike Carter. And coming out publicly saying he’d quit RL if Bradford were successful in their points deduction appeal......I mean Wakey fans mock Lebron for the exact same kind of claim.'"
He doesn’t name names because it is a general issue in the game with many SL sides committing to running a reserves team then backtracking on it
, and he offers his opinion that no reserves side should mean no marquee signings. No need to get personal about it, cos it is an opinion he holds about the wider game.
On the points deduction his comments were aimed at the RFL who lets face it have not shown to be the strongest and most consistent when it comes to administration of the game, it would not have mattered whether it was Bradford or any other club - again not personal.
Unlike LeBron, I believe Carter would have followed up on his statement had the decision not being made in accordance with the rules that were set out.

| I do wish Chalmers wouldn’t respond to those two.
If carter and hudgell want to act out like that then let them. What with hudgell calling Chalmers an irritant and the two of them publicly sitting up at an rfl club meeting to put bids in on odsal (when their own clubs’ grounds are falling apart) simply because of chalmers’ position On the champ and LG 1 clubs advisory group. Carter making thinly veiled threats to Featherstone (again on the advisory group) the evening before the vote.
Leave them to it I say.

| Floodlights erected not to standard by contractors can hardly be used as a stick to beat Hudgell with. I wonder what percentage of stadiums light towers would pass a health and safety test now? Hopefully all but chances are a few would be dangerous? Bradfords consistent mismanagement isnt Wakeys or KRs fault.The genius currently steering Bradford is just the latest in a string of talented individuals who despite repeated bail outs by rfl can't make a profitable venture of the Bulls

Hang on, no-one else’s floodlights have fallen over. Just because Hull KR’s were dodgy don’t try saying everyone else’s are.
Not sure why you’re having a go at Bradford. Or why Hudgell is artificially raising the price of the Odsal lease. It’s either politics v the RFL or one club owner deliberately trying affect the finances of another. Either way it’s petty and small minded.

| I'm not saying everyone else's are. Just when a specialist firm sign off a job as certified and finished you tend to accept this as gospel The Bradford fan brought the floodlights into it and I was saying it wasn't relevant in regards Odsal or for that matter the thread title Wakey and Cas stadium. After reading 12/13 pages I still aren't sure what is actually happening regarding this?

| The issue has never been about shared stadium. It has been about money and location. As someone has said, agreeing to share won't make the money suddenly appear.
The Newmarket project was for a Wakefield stadium. The Glasshoughton project is for a Castleford project. The club that has to play in the ground built for the other, and in the other's town, will die.
Odsal is a dump. You wouldn't expect them to "share" with Leeds at Headingly though.

Chalmers and Hudge have both made it plain they dislike each other. Quite why I don't know and as fan care little. Still not many facts coming out over the lights but would expect it's a legal matter so that's probably why

What ridiculous post.
He is saying a shared ground outside your own borders where money goes to your rivals would not be supported and therefore would not be financially viable.
What has that got to do with what you posted?

mouthing off calling other club’s chairmen childish names is a stick to beat Hudgell with though.
I just wish Chalmers wouldn’t waste his time being dragged down to Carter and Hudgell’s level.
Well done for missing the point “genius”.

Surely reaching carter and hudgells level is something chalmers would be moving up to as opposed to being dragged down to?

In the context of a ground share, he's right. It would have to be an absolutely even split, in all aspects.
Obviously there ARE far more important issues than RL and ground sharing.
Perhaps we should do away with all sport and concentrate on the important things
