More "evidence" of the friction between the RFL and the SL over who is running Superleague, more "evidence" of the RFL being elbowed aside.

Wonder what constitutes a "controversial" signing? If Elstones pal Leneghan signs somebody one suspects its will always be deemed less controversial than other clubs.

| They have just caused themselves and the game a huge problem with this knee-jerk reaction. Next time a thug (of which there appear to have been a few in recent years) is to be signed will they veto the signing? If not, can you imagine the negative press reaction? Cornered themselves. There’ll be no players left soon when stories or past mismemeanours are dragged up. Will it apply to administrators too? If not, why not? Coaches? The list goes on.

| Hudgell would have to be the insular, hypocritical guy in Hull.
SKD anyone?

Self-virtuous hypocrite: |

| I cant understand why people are up in arms about trying to limit controversial signings. Especially people who keep saying "but we have wife beaters drink drivers etc in super league!"
Can we not just see what the rules are before we get hysterical?

| We'd have never heard a word about this if the Australian Rugby Union hadn't wanted to weasel their way out of paying Folau more money than they could afford so they backgrounded their tame media cronies to do a hatchet job on him.
Most of the League players who went to Union in Australia got duded when Union decided they were finished with them, but Folau took them to the cleaners.

| Strangely enough ,if it was suggested that Folau's inability to be able to accept homosexuality was a mental health issue he would suddenly become much more deserving of tolerance to his views. Maybe even a victim.

It's all about moral standards which being pushed to the limit, the signing has endorsed that you can virtually get away with murder and still be allowed to earn a decent living

It's a valid point. Hardaker could be deemed a controversial signing for example.

Signed by Wigan with Lenegan as chairman, and has broken the law many times.

Ben Cockayne before him. I expect Hudgell to sack SKD sometime to day, IF he has any morals

I know full well who signed him, but going forward would he be deemed controversial? Would SKD? Would Ben Barba? Would Joel Monaghan? Greg Bird?

They broke the law. Has Folau ever broken the law that you are aware of?
