Could you elaborate please. It's difficult to make a meaningful comment when I don't know what you are talking about. Something has obviously upset you to bring out such comments.

Turdersfield? wow lol

dont be naive, theres ways around the salary cap... they can pay the players in other ways.. for example employing the wife in the club shop

or you could be like wigan and pay big transfer fees like they have done to bring tomkins back, we dont have the resources to do this... we have even had to bring loan players in like cox recently and offload the likes of o'donnell who was on a big salary.

think we have changed the way we go forward now, we have gone for a full time academy and putting out money into the youth system now so we may have to wait a few more years for it to bear fruit.

the days of signing players like carney (which fell through) and o'donnell are gone.

We have to recognise that we have to pay over the odds to attract good players. Would a player rather play for Leeds or hudds? wigan or Hudds? (Ask larne!) so in order to get players to sign we would have to pay a little more than those other teams, their squads will be better value for money than ours. Players would rather go to the big sides. Same goes for attracting the right youngsters.

brearley Anderson has said we have money for players when Lunt went to Hull KR like most on here not a clue on our fiances as the club don't publish them. all i know is we get around 1,8 million from sky if the club cant match that with shirt sponsorship; ticket sales merchandising ect then there should be mass sackings

Some clubs will always find a way around the salary cap but proving it will always be extremely difficult.

Why mass sackings and who?It always beats me when people think they know better on how to run a business be it a sports club or a factory.Leave the running of the Giants to the people in the know. I have no doubt that the money saved would have been Lunts wages and would have gone towards paying to run a full time academy set up amongst other things which in my opinion is vital for continuity for a Super League Club.

Do you realise we have to pay the stadium company £5 for every spectator that goes through the turnstiles. So we make nothing on kids- in fact Up until last year when it was free for kids we were PAYING for all the juniors to attend! Add to that salary for ticket staff, design costs, printing, marketing.... How much of that 1.8m do you think is matched right there?

the point i am making jools is the sky money covers the cap the club should be able to generate enough income to pay for the running of the club as accounts are not published we don't know if we are still making a big loss the last accounts my account friend could find we lost around 450k and that was around 5 years ago .

I thought it was £3 per head which aint too bad

Exactly, as i have said elsewhere we now have a FULL TIME ACADEMY... money had to come from somewhere, we will have to wait a few years maybe for it to bear fruit with youngesters coming through, we have more and more representing England now.

I think we do better fax, wakey , cas, fev and bradford

we have been up at the top end of SL consistently now for a number of years.

shame we cant just go that one step further and win a trophy but its now easy, 12 other clubs try and how many have won silverware in the SL era, the usuals who have much bigger resources than us. We have basically started a club from scratch which was nearly extinct while the likes of wigan/saints and leeds were still winning comps.

Can't argue with that.

in 20 years of super league, only 7 teams have won honours, we are one of them, all the others have a significantly bigger fan base than we have and attracted better quality players than we have.

if we start putting faith in the youngsters and have a coach who is not afraid to use them then we could go that step further, don't forget how long it took us to become competitive in super league, it took time, but eventually it happened.
i'm not saying we will win more silverware but we need to be patient while our academy bears fruit.
