Players have a not undubstantial amount of free time outside of their commitments to the club. Would not be surprised if it was in their contracts that the club had to approve any employment outside of WWRLFC.

On that basis I am not concerned in any way and it think it's great that players are putting steps in place for when they retire as well as filling their spare time with something productive. I remember reading about Keith Gillespie having a gambling problem that he partly atttributed to the boredom during his free time. Things like this mitigate that risk.

Maybe this is why his eye didn't heal too quickly, too much stress can affect recovery times..................................


On a serious note, I'm not condeming the players at all, this was just a conversation that popped up at the pub last night, thought I'd extend it to a wider auduence to get involved.

Wigan have got loads of people with second jobs

I've heard Gaz Hock does white lines (painting them on roads for the council, of course!)
O'Loughlin dead-heads flowers
Richards works for the Irish Tourist Board
George Carmont is Little Eddie Munster's stunt double, for the new Munsters remake
Harrison Hanson is starring in the new Persil ad, on how to remove stubborn stains from shorts after you've cacked yourself, when you see a prop running after you.
Dave Whelan is a debt collector, always hounding his tennants for rent money
and Fadge, Lennigan and Wane are practising their new roles as the 3 wise Monkeys (See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil) when it comes to their teams tackling techniques

Ulsterwire, you're right,they do have to clear it with the club. Paul and Mick have said that they have been very supportive and have helped with getting the best people around them to support them - accountants, graphic designers etc.

I know our players are quite good at self regulating as well. I am aware that players discuss it between themselves and would tell individuals if they felt that it was effecting the ultimate goal - SL!

Let's face it, most RL players will need to work when they're retired, makes sense to start it early. Can't help thinking that the PT market is going to be flooded!

I heard Hock works at vision express.

He should've gone to SpecSavers

waaaheeeeeyyyyyy

Mr Maggoo went into SpecSavers last week
Guess who he bumped into



















everyone

[sizecoat on[/size

Charnley is a prosecuting solicitor, defending was never really going to be an option

I think some of them look like they have other jobs.

Bridge looks like he'd be one of these people who always has shorts with paint on and big dockoff boots with them, regardless of weather.

Grix looks a bit of a stiff, like he'd work for the council.

Currently Mitchell looks like he'd tarmac your drive for a decent price

Good to hear they are doing well. I follow them both on Twitter and heard it about it through there. What's equally good is the support of the club with this. The club is contributing to the welfare of it's players after they retire even though they aren't their responsibility.

Yet another way we show we do things right both on and off the field.

LMAO that actually made me burst out laughing, very true though

Solomona - definitely looks like a future nightclub doorman
Cooper - kinda looks like a farmers son lol
haha and i dont know why but Briers has definitely got the look of a milkman about him
