That is hilarious. Coming from a guy who ran to the press to moan about his own players when they got mullered by Warrington. You couldn’t make it up

Lol. What a pillock. Why is he so worked up by it?

There is only one reason In the human psyche that you would get wound up...Jealousy

Come on Walt, you really are on form for showing yourself up tonight.

I'm sure your right TWP broke their necks as well as the bank to get promotion to SL. If Superleague don't want them which they don't, then it appears Argylle is going to make it very hard for Superleague when they eventually get rid of TWP first chance being the new TV deal. No TWP inclusion will reflect badly on Superleague because most people still think they are "growth" and will accuse SL of being parochial.

It is still hard to believe that TWP left themselves so badly short on numbers though, they may be architects of their own downfall this year. I assume that they may have banked on loans? I assume few players will go out on loan seem as how all the English clubs have to run reserves now. I almost think that the Reserves league was rushed in to keep as many players here as possible!

Dont know what the opposite of parachute payment is but, it would come under that category.

I recon Adam Pearson is bang-on there. Probably just me though.

Not just you, I would agree - Everything Pearson has said is bang on IMO, still nobody likes talking the hard facts on Toronoto, they would rather talk about these fairy tales where tickets touts are selling Toronto tickets outside of the ground at $200.

I agree with him has well what the hell we are ding letting them in in the first place when their is loads of other teams a lot nearer then them we should try

If the cap is live, i’m not clear on why dispensations are required for players who are de-registered. Rovers are apparently under the cap anyway.

I’m in favour of P&R, and the rules are the rules. However, it is a massive and massively difficult gap to bridge in either direction.

I’ve got some sympathy for his broad ‘stop moaning’ theme, although it is a difficult point to make without moaning yourself. I think he distracts/detracts from his argument by conflating cap space with the money spent on SBW because they’re different issues.

The BetFred thing is a personal belief vs contractual obligation matter. Outside of that, concerns over gambling companies sponsorship in sports does seem to be growing. And I vaguely recall SL having turned down another offer in the past, so it is clearly an issue where there’s a diversity of opinion.

To get SBW in on a marquee spot didn't they have to move Lussick out of a marquee spot? That shifted his enormous salary onto the the cap (probably at least an additional £150k (on top of the £150k already counted) judging by Lutele's salary). So directly and indirectly, the signing of SBW will have limited their cap space significantly.
