Good words on Teletext - Deffo still coming.
Put a good positive spin on relegation as well.

Thats good news for you, but how much of our £150,000 salary cap will he take?

Here's wishing you every luck next season and hope to be back to LSV the following season.

It also mentions Phil Luelui (ignore spelling if wrong).

well i thought it was200.000 not 150, plus you can ask for dispensations if you have players for example hilly on ong term deals.

150k

Paul is part time on £100 win bonus

the rest of his income is being supplied by a un named company who is using Paul for testing the different kind of foot ware that can be used in training and on match days.


works for development area clubs

The RFL cant impose sanctions on a club who were signing players up to achieve a dream of achieving a higher status in the game only to find themselves demoted from a non relegation spot after achieving more than 50% of its available points!

Is that true that ste, or your opinion?

Second bit is most certainly true and with restriction of trade all over the EU now how can a governing body say you have to only spend x now because we are relegating you. I dont know what the clubs stance will be. But I would be more than happy to ask Mr Spencer, Mr Lewis or Mr Wood how they expect a club to progress with a ball and chain 150K salary cap around their ankles?

I hope this means Magraff is staying as well.

Was he only on a 1 season contract?If so i hope they sign him too.

Works hard - did a job for us - probably still would in the 3rd tier of rugby, but I am sure there are non pros out there who could do a similar job so would prefer to try to get someone of overall better ability and experience.

Whats happening to Mark Castle?

Dont know but personally I would persevere

Magraff wouldn't count on the salary cap either, as he's (well) under 21. A good prospect, who would also be able to develop in Champ 1.

Its definately £150,000.

Now yous say you should have dispensations, but I read, in many threads, people complaining about how its not a fair and level league (Toulouse and Gateshead) and they are one of the causes of your relegation, but you want an unfair and un-level league next year in Championsip 1?

Might as well have - then it will be in line with SL and the Championship!

If Robbie does win the title with you next year, I reckon it will be his nineteenth honour in thirteen unique competitions:

SL x 4
CC x 2
WCC x 3
LLS
Lance Todd
RL Writers POTY
Old 2nd Division Title
Arriva Trains Cup
Trans-Tasman Test
GB-NZ Test Series
Middlesex Sevens
Alliance Yorkshire Cup (IIRC

)

and not the least impressive! A long way from the most though. He could also win the NRC of course

As we have the potential to double if not treble the attendance figures of any opther Ch 1 club, have a thriving lottery, contributions from LISA and the Corporate club, then on this income alone we stand to generate double (at least) the average income of any other Championship 1 club. Therfore we would not be in any danger of bankrupcy, therfore how is it unfair to stop any club wishing to go forward on a financial footing with so much income? after all isnt that why the salary cap was introduced?

The money the people pay at the gate will be less and you will have less opposition fans paying in as well. Will you pay less rent for the stadium `cos we did not when we were relegated from Super League, whereas the Wendyballers we share the ground with play nearly twice the games as we do. They also negotiated a sizeable rent reduction for themselves now they play in the "pub league".

How old is Danny Meekin?

20 I think

The away support this year has been poor with only Fax, Haven and Widnes bringing any , so next years away support would be irrelevant.
