In that case you might as well go away until time has told.

And where would the fun be in that?

I'll let you out of the keep net now little fishy

Weren't you all over this forum like a rash about 2 months ago because we lost ONE game telling us it was all coming crashing down and that we were imploding?

fair dos Nozzy. I'm the first to admit that your record in adversity is fairly impressive so far.

you seem to have developed a way to win ugly and you should be applauded.

your off-field shennanigans continue to entertain though

Was also the same time AB Sundecks took on the shirt front logo wasn't it!

Heard its Fev due to missing out on the 8's

Why would you need a loan agreement for a shirt sponsorship deal?

This latest one is nothing to do with us.

London or Sheffield is my bet, if there is any truth in it at all. Love RL "Gossip Column" is hardly a reliable source of information.

How do you manage to run a Full Time team on crowds of a few hundred though? London have a public backer but who is putting all the money in at Sheffield, somebody is obviously putting some serious funding into them. Is it known who is funding them or is it some sort of secret?

Not sure about Sheffield, they are by all accounts paying peanuts. Which is why all their best players are now at Fev and Batley.

They do fairly well with corporate sponsorships and have a link with SHU. Their wage bill will be less than half what yours is. (compare the quality of the two squads).

London have David Hughes bankrolling them.

Which leaves you and Bradford anywhere near the salary cap.

I am sure that all the corporate sponsors love coming down for the ultimate corporate VIP experience of watching the Eagles play (badly) on the local school field!

oh aye

Ryan Brierley must have been one of the highest paid players in the Championship. We now have that cap space to play with plus a nice bit of spare cash from Hudds for him.

We should have plenty room left. I am pretty happy with our squad for now though. The pack is scary and the halves are strong. Backline has been a merry go round due to injuries but when we get some settled players in there we should get better.

If we are going to strengthen anywhere for me it should be a winger. Kay is brilliant, best in the league for me. Pownall has improved out of sight and is probably the biggest improvement since we moved to full time. Unfortunately both have been injured recently more often than not. Higson is having a poor season so far and I am not sure his future is as a winger.
