If any other club gets booted out super dupper league than Celtic it will prove just once and all that rugby League is the most corrupt sport in England.

wakey have been lieing to the RFL for years.

until the Crusaders have gotten to that level of deceit its got to be wakey

if ever theres a club which has wasted more money than wakey, id like to know.

something like 10 million pounds from sky money has gone to them

what the heck has it achieved?

ive been thinking that for a while

what keeps union going is the internationals, their club game is stagnating.

with the continued success of club RL, the more enterprising union clubs will want to join the fold.

As much as I have to say it, the main problem with Union is the scrum. Scrums in the professional era are causing long term injuries that were not seen during the amatuer era. Remove the contested scrum and you're on your way to League...

And kicking.

And line outs.

And 4 too many men on the pitch.

Sort that out and it would be a belting game

Not too bothered how they get rid of them but I think 30 men on a pitch doesnt create enough space often enough for folk to play fast open rugby.

I'd even conceed keeping rucks rather than PTB if it kept them happy

you think a £10m bond would stop newspapers purporting speculation to be fact?

No , but it would stop investors from promising the earth and then running off when things dont quite go to the ' business plan '

You know , like with PARIS sg back in 96

Would a guarantee not do exactly the same thing, but in a much more efficient way? where it didnt mean thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds were wasted basically giving money to banks for no reason

Not usually worth the paper they are written on I think you will find

A Bond or Surety could do the same yes but they still cost money. Usually they are provided against an asset, a gauranteed income, or sound trading history; the smaller the risk, the lower the cost.

So in theory you're correct - for a small %age of the secured amount it would be much more cost efficient than a commercial loan.

The trouble would be finding a Gaurantor who would be willing to secure it for a reasonable cost when there are a) next to zero assets and b) a guaranteed income that is much lower than the bond value.

Look at it this way, would you provide a risky venture a £10m bond, for a financial return that is less than the average Eurozone interest rate of maybe 4%? You might as well put the money in the Post Office.

you know like wakey 2 years ago.

at least the RFL didnt believe the lies leigh told in their business application eh?

that one year in SL was enough embarrasment for all of us

Wakey are still playing RL in SL as far as I can see , they have a small but solid fan base , do have juniors coming through the team and will have a pro RL team of some description playing for many years

Paris SG have what ?

Give up you are now looking really pathetic , yes we know you are just winding us up , but it is pitiful
