he should pay up we signed him 2 months ago.....there fore he`s a wire player...the above know knob all..take it to the courts you`ll win

This is where the issue is as you've made a bet with a "wooly" statement. Reading that at face value I would say that you have won the bet as the signing was announced before the end of the season.

Others will take "be a warrington player" differently but I think you both know what you meant and he is trying to get out of it.

I had a bet with a Wakey fan that we would finish higher than them. I paid out after it became mathematically impossible for us to finish above them in the regular season. There was an argument in the back of my head that there was a final table after the grand final, in which case had we made the playoffs we could still have finished higher. Again, even though we didn't expressley say it, it was implied that it was "end of regular season."

To cut a long story short I wouldnt pay up.

Don't pay up, because sure as anything your Salford mate isn't going to pay up if you try and argue that you've won the bet.

i think your mate should pay up, forget all the semantics the season is not officially over and Myler has officially been unveiled as a Wire player.

Plus, as Mr McCrae had lauded to anyone who'll listen, Myler hasn't been a Salford player for quite some time...

unveiled yes, registered as a player for the 09 season no.

Myler could have played for salford the week after the press conference, as could solomona and as did atkins(twice).

They ain't ours yet.

As i said t'other week, it was a weird thing to do to hold a press day like that when we're announcing transfers that are occuring later in the year, not straight away and it's not like signing an uncontracted player, well, in solomona's case it is, but not the other two.

my understanding by solomonas interview they become warrington players once their season commitments with their current clubs expire

Don't the contracts typically run from November to November to ensure that the season is full completed before players actually transfer?
I am pretty sure he is not registered as a "warrington player" until the contract comes into force.

All depends on what you definitions were at the time of the bet. I think you should both agree to a "no bet" due to lack of clear definitions.

i was tempted to mention that but i think that would be harsh on his mate.

How much was the bet for?

Give IBAS a call. They'll sort it.

mate this is good for on here, don't knock it, unless you wanna know when kfc on winwick road or maccy D's closes.

11pm.

And it is the closed season* after all and Im bored already.





*For us anyway.
