Perhaps Derek Beaumont and Mark Campbell could have a bare knuckle fight at half time to help boost attendance

Campbell will probs take his hammer with him

Which journalist?

John Davidson

Allegedly FT you don't want Campbell to sue you!

Please be mindful of what we put on here, we don't want any comeback due to potentially libellous posts.
All being said some of the stuff coming out from Featherstone is incredibly unsavoury to read.

In the i newspaper this morning there are serious allegations about payment not being made into players' pensions although this is disputed. There appears to be some very serious issues surrounding money at Featherstone and I would have thought the RFL would have stepped in by now.

There were serious money issues at Crusaders and Toronto a few years back, with players/suppliers and supporters not getting what they were entitled to, if only someone could see a link with all these, I'm sure it could be prevented in the future

Salford had money problems a few years back as well.

If only there was one obvious connection between these clubs, they could maybe get to the bottom of it and prevent it from happening again

Edited for recent accuracy.....

I believe IWTID is eluding to my reference to a link between all these clubs

Correct.

I think we have been guilty of all these financial situations from not paying contractors and players so maybe we are not in the best position to comment on others about their historical failings.

On the contrary, Scarlet, it could be argued that we are very well qualified to comment on such matters as we are all aware of our woeful financial issues in years gone by, but fortunately for us, MC and JM came in and settled the ship and we now have our knight in shining armour in Matt Ellis who has promised that we will never be in such a dire situation again

Yes, fortunately were not in that situation, and as far as players wages are concerned, that goes back to the pre Glover era

Under the Pearman era the wages were never paid from day one!
It’s remarkable that Andy Kelly got those players to win 3 from the first 7 games, given that the players had not been paid a single penny all season! Cheques bouncing around all over the place!

Jorge Taufua suspended for two matches for a grade C offence dangerous contact with the head of an opponent
Lee Gaskill out for six weeks hamstring
Daniel Okoro out for six weeks broken jaw

Going into a season with Gaskell as one of your main halfbacks is a recipe for disaster as well we know.

Sheffield really giving it to Wigan tonight, they're pretty much flying under the radar.

Well if we do get to Wembley in the 1895 Cup, at least we won't be sharing the M1 with the Whino's

Went over to wigan last night and although wigan wernt great sheffield look a very good, well organised team, they play very hard and direct down the middle and throw it about realy well. I suppose it depends on injuries but they are no easy beats

On more than one occasion I have stated that Sheffield are in contention for the championship, I put them in-front of Toulouse, Bradford and Halifax, their only issues is depth of squad if they get injuries/suspensions
