It's certainly not the pot calling the kettle black - I didn't call anyone anything, I asked a genuine question. I even included the precis 'genuine question', to avoid any confusion.

Peter, are you aware we did not recieve any Sky money when we entered SL and have always played catch up. Its been a struggle and without a sugar daddy it will always be.

A level playing field for all unless you are Wakey mate, not that we've helped ourselves,sadly.

You must have got some serious sky money after a couple of years i guess ?
Was it 97 that we beat you every game and then when it mattered you did us in the play offs ?
Always remember stood down by the players "tunnel"at BV watching a beaten up stan gene with his bloody head wrapped up going off and andy kelly shaking every rovers player as they went by !
Anyhows if you got sky from say 2000 you are still 6 years in front of us !!
We have tried to promise and deliver on the ground front but from what ive seen Belle Vue hasnt had that much spent on it and the BOD has known for years its had its time.
But hey dont get me personally too wrong,i love the old traditional grounds like yours and hate the DWs anf KFCs of this world.
Always had a brilliant pitch mind has BV.
Give me a bv or Batley or Cas over the new stadiums anyday of the week but times ar changing and old traditionalists like me are dieing out !!!

It was in 1998. Great play off game that!

I know what you are saying but the truth is we lost 3 years in NL1 you lost 9 but we both lost the chance to be in there at the beginning when the real money was floating about. I don't think it's any fluke that the silverwear has remained firmly in the hands of those teams who where in SL from the start - with only Hull FC and Hudds making a real dent and that only after both of them receiving a cash and player boost after the disgaceful destruction of Gateshead and especially Sheffield to save them.

It's only when you cast your mind back to these event that you realise what a corrupt sham SL is and how complicit some fans are in it.

As a mate of mine harps on RUGBY LEAGUE IS THE GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD AND THE MOST BENT !!!!

You have to make the best of the cards you get dealt and going back to the topic,rovers seem to have done this dereg of Dobbo after consulting the rfl so unless the rfl change their minds its all above board.
lol about the rfl coz i agree with you guys that say drinkin in a brewery etc.

Dobson is off to Saints anyway isn't he?

Replacing Eastmond with immediate effect????

Well not until he recovers from his injury.

Is it worth having Eastmond for rest of season if saints let go and Bath not ready for him..?

We need a scrum half quick and this is a quick fix.

The club need a scrum half who wants to play RL, if he can't be bothered for Saints he'll certainly not push the boat out for Trinity.

The thing is his not pushing the boat out will still be well above any level our players are at. It could be just the thing he needs to get away for a while.

I don't think any player who can't be rsed, no matter how talented, would bring anything worthwhile to the club other than discontent.

A certain former utility player springs to mind
