You can put what clauses you like into a deal.

I always think this sort of thing shows a lack of confidence by the coach. "I don't think you're good enough for us but, just in case I'm wrong, I don't want you playing against us."

Agree with your synopsis and it seems we can't play Dan Fleming either.

Let's hope we get Springer & Green this weekend.

Well we will get Spring & Greener this weekend.

This happened with Gareth Hock when he played for Leigh against Salford, and it turned out that the clause was either not allowed or not enforcable and he was cleared to play.

That said, if we have made a "gentlemans agreement" not to play him then Id rather we stick to it and conduct ourselves in a better way than Marwan and Derek!


Also, this clause is definetly illegal in football, as is shown here...

Fair shout and well remembered, as you say it must be between the clubs.
Likely Sion Jones or Brandon Douglas in for Dan.

if we keep picking up quality players - then its best to be honouring the agreement that has been made

Better not apply in middle eights....

Neither named in tonights reserve squad,so pretty safe bet.Sion more effective than either of the two loanees and didn't merit being dropped.

Sion has been a real find and could go right to the top if he continues to progress.
RM will have known Dan could not play against Toronto so my guess is he gave Sion a weeks rest to ensure he is fresh and be busting a gut to get back out.

Simms is on a 2 match ban so he’s out. lets have some grunt on the bench to give to em.
Up the Fax.

Simms got off on appeal(what a ******* surprise)

Yes about right he got off, both the press and myself not keeping up.

Green is in Cas 19 for Friday.

They've called up a kid from their Academy. There'll probably be no DR this weekend

How do you view that?
Is this really such a tragedy?

Not a tragedy probably another reason against DR.Green has gone really well over last 3 weeks as we've built up some top 4 steam.Come a big game and we're faced with all change as Green called up by Cas and 2 ex Toronto lads are deemed not to be able to play.

Yep, very frustrating for these changes, it would have been great to keep a settled side.

We all know the bad about DR but without it we would not have had Green in the first place so it's inconsistent to complain when we have him and then complain when we don't.



Would we have still done okay without him?

I think so, a few in the Fax team have improved over the same time period and we look better as a unit so it's not down to any one player.

As we all know the Dan and QLT situation has nothing to do with DR and in QLT playing just the 1 game he has nothing to do with form over the previous weeks.

Summary, Sharp back to 1 and whoever comes in, say Jones and Douglas we haven't lost much and everyone who is picked will be busting a gut to get out onto the field.

I agree completely, its a strange opportunity to break into the starting 17 on a winning run - so they need to take this chance with both hands

Green also announced in our 19 man squad for Saturday!!!!!

That is so funny

I'm assuming he could play on Saturday if he's named as 18th man for Cas?

Beau will be jangling now and Hudds has gone into meltdown.

To quote the Courteeners...it's a shambles,Beaujangles.

quite simple really.....

if he doesnt play for Cas he'll play for us. If he does play for Cas then he's one of the names not picked.....probably worth taking the risk that he might not play seeing as though we have adequate cover if he doesnt.
