I'll chuck a penny into ye old troll pond!

Who's with me...?!

Your cheap BTE policy ( Before The Event) is very different to an expensive ATE (After The Event) Policy. You get a cheap policy based on you jumping through a set of hoops. You policy is cheap because the chance of payout is low based on thousands of people paying into the pot with a couple of payouts. An ATE policy is based on something that HAS occurred and will happen. The premium is much higher and therefore doesn't need the hoops.

I'm in Wakefield tomorrow and I'm happy for you to come into our offices and I will talk you through it face to face. PM me and I will set up an window....we have aircon!

Lets be clear here two things are important : 1. The club lost the case, 2. The club will face adverse publicity.

What isn't important is the financials as they should be covered.

So would I wadski it seems we are very very unwise shall we go and see Ken together.

Ginger ,there is the cost of the trial the Barristers the insurance pollicy Masons team will have put in place in case they lost.

The whole of RL needs business acumen - not something I possess, but if you do then go for it. There are too many people involved who think they know what they're doing but in truth are out of their depth (I don't exclude the club I love from this), but I wonder if they keep real talent out as it would show them up for what they are - amateurs.

What is important is that we learn the lessons from this event so there's no repeat. There are other clubs that seem unable to do so. And equally, some fans!

I have some Rolly eyes. Will that do instead of. Quid?

You should wear a patch over one of them Wadski, that should sort it out in 6-8 months.

Also highly beneficial on Talk like a Pirate Day (September 19th!)

Wakeyrule. I'm not in insurance anymore - onward and upward. You are more than welcome though as otherwise I'll have to post on here!

I had that theory when I was rejected by the Giants !

I see.

The Examiner is claiming £160k plus legal fees, totalling £167k.

Will see what they say in the full story tomorrow.

Boydy, The ATE policy will cover all that except the cost of Keith's policy. That will have to come out of Keith's award as Keith's out of court expenses won't be covered, that's his policy and owed by him. The benefit of a policy is someone checks over the costs so paying Joe to carry Keith's bag won't be covered and everything will be checked.

Listen mate KM was awarded 167 which will increase when his legal cost and expences are callculated in so he his looking at about 200, then the barristers will have to be paid plus the insurace plus the cost of the trial and that will bing the cost to about 300 and unfortunatly the Giants will have to foot that bill happy days for KM.

Sorry have i gone about this all wrong? should I have gone on their board and had a dig? Wasnt quite sure of the protocol
