Bryn Hargreaves the 26 year old former Wigan prop who left for Saints in 2006 has announced his retirement from R/L.
He says that what has happened at Bradford has left him totally disillusioned with R/L in general and that he has been offered a posistion away from R/L which will make him more secure in the years to come.
I remember when he was a teenager at Wigan he was very highly though of,but for some reason he was allowed to leave whilst still only 20/21.

My mistake, he's not plastering he's flagging !!!!, I think its his girlfriends fathers building company he's going working for in the States, I'm sure she's American.

How's he got a VISA?

I agree, especially the last sentence. But athletics, is a bit like cricket (both sports I like), for the average event there is no-one there, save a few high profile games (& latterly 20/20). Cricket makes a fortune from the Indian limited over game but I struggle to understand how athletics pulls in so much money, unless it is from government.

50 k a year as a lower league propr for maximum 15 years or 30K a year for the next 30 years?

What youve got to take into account is that some of these guys bodies are ruined by the time they retire.
