I agree should be Pay as you play with incentives for winning and draws, minimum pay for a loss.

It will never happen tho the clubs with money will just offer higher match payments all will get all the best players there is little loyality in sport, You cannot blame the players its a short career and im sure we'd all move jobs if someone offered us more money for the same job.

After all the joy of promotion, i personally feel that we should have stayed in the old division and not take the promotion.
I agree the players in our division should be on win,loss monies and not contracts.

I think you're being harsh on Batley. One of the best results / performances of their season in their last league game against Leigh (Sundays Cup-tie irrelevant) and they've just snapped up an experienced half-back ... wish I could remember his name

I believe a lot of this started last season when we paid for glory but have suffered long term.Players have and will always jump ship when it is getting battered and income is low.Remember Craig Weston etc.It is a fact of life with struggling clubs

Yeah, I remember Craig Weston, he was still here for weeks after many other high-salaried players had gone and as the senior man was asked by the remaining players to talk to the then Coach about team selection / tactics etc. The Chairman backed the Coach (not surprisingly) over the disagreement and Weston was out (although by then I'd be surprised if he wasn't relieved).
