Why are they scumbags?? For going bust?

They're scum because they actively avoided paying tax for several year amounting several million pounds in unpaid tax bills. They took several smaller companies in the area out who had unpaid bills with them, as well as not paying Trinity and Dewsbury to the tune of a six figure sponsorship deal

Hard to feel sorry for a company who intentionally liquidate themselves to avoid paying back over £50m owed to the tax man as well as several million to local businesses https://www.gov.uk/government/news/rugb ... d-director

Hard not to feel mad when they're flaunting around in a McLaren sports car, Porches and Range Rovers and living in a coupe of pads worth £1.5 million.

excuse my ignorance in financial matters (and sorry for derailling the thread slightly) but how is it that they are not serving lengthy prison sentences for fraud etc?

You took the words right out of my mouth when I was reading the article, god knows. What happened leading up to this is HMRC was investigating them in relation to its historic VAT position for millions and they then liquidated the company. All that seems to have happened to them is, they've been made to sell all their assets (houses, cars, jewellery etc) and any cash they had and the 2 directors, one got banned as a company director for 13 years the other 7 years. Unbelievable eh. Like doing loads of robberies getting caught and then having to pay a fraction of it back.

Sorry for the O/T back to the Kits.

Star 'I believe' had issues last season, Storm jerseys never made it to the U.K & were extortionatlly priced too, think they upset the Melbourne club & got dropped. I spoke to the nice lady at Down Under in Wigan & she said they would be getting them in. Need a trip to Wigan now.
