Can't say i do but in those days i spent as much time returning liquid previously imbibed as watching the game.



Hard to believe Dom would have started anything as he didn't really play to his size sadly.

I actually went to school with Dom Peters - starting a fight and then running away is exactly the kind of thing he'd have done.

As I remember it, he ran from the far side of the pitch. Gave someone a thump and went back from whence he came.
And got a red card for his troubles.

Whats the fact battye not being out of contract got to do with my question? How many players have we signed in the past from other clubs that were still in contract with the previous club? Folk here are commenting that as a club we let players leave who are in contract and dont get compensation! It works both ways remember! If we sign a player that has been released what have we paid for that pleasure

So what is effectively being said is contracts are pointless. Sums up RL for me. How will this help smaller clubs?? Develop a player then a bigger club just comes and swipes him off them. But that is ok cause the smaller club can get a cast off from one of the bigger clubs to replace them (must be fair as that player was under contract also). If this is the case why bother contracting players at all?? Why bother with academies, anyone decent will go. Surely they are just a pointless cost??

OK I'll play along - give us a list of players we've signed who were still under contract at their previous club? And how much, if anything, we paid for them? Because that's what was being discussed - whether or not Eddie Battye, under contract, is worth a transfer fee or not - before you started banging on about us signing players.

I thought he ran almost the length of the pitch and chinned somebody.

Yes Wantawin, it was like that.

Yep. Ran half the length of the pitch to throw one then ran. Quite funny to watch really

With Fozzard signed according to the club website thats 19 players. How many do we need?

I'd say we need probably another 6 or 7 quality players to push 4 super league
