Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

So you are suggesting that a club would ' scout ' its own players from where ? , scholarship to SL in 3 years , you have no answer again , which tells me once again you havent a clue how these things operate |

the same place everybody scouts their own players from. And no i dont expect them to have a squad full of these players in three years. That is something you have invented. |

So sponsors only commit hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of pounds, and Companies only buy hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of hospitality a few weeks before the season starts? Before a few weeks prior to the start of the season nobody wants to know?
Yeah, one thing big multi-national companies are known for is how little budgeting and planning they do. They definitely definitely dont want to plan their corporate hospitality, or sponsorship, they want to sort it all out a few weeks before the season starts in November/December  |

Is RL any longer a sport, or has it just no credibility? Does that fact that some teams are allowed to play by different rules of the game make the game not a sport? Can anyone think of another sport that allows teams in direct competition to operate under different regulations?
My argument is that RL is currently not a credible 'sport' - discuss.'"
If there is one thing that bugs me it is when someone puts a statement on a forum,then end with "discuss".
What the hell do they think we are going to do,bake a cake?  |

Though im sure you will explain how Leeds turn over nearly £12m a year with less than a hundred thousand from corporates, and less than a million in sponsorship.
But what we do know, is that all the corporate hospitality sales leeds make, and all their sponsorship deals are done a few weeks before the season starts, which makes me wonder why they employ a year round corporate and commercial sales team?
