What ultimately was there gain? They disgraced themselves by cheating and brought the game into disrepute. they didn't keep their "achievements" their supporters are ridiculed by other fans, plus losing points in the league certaily did not make them better. They got what they deserved.

Leaving aside your inside info on Big Gord, how fast are the agents moving in relation to inflation, As a comparison I would imagine the "Agents" earn more Pro-rata today than the players of 1960s era.

Prudence should be applied to the finances of our clubs before other "winding up" orders are issued.

Its not inside info it was in the news, saying someone earns more than someone 50 years ago is madness, the game wasnt professional then and was 50 years ago.

The Clue is "Pro-rata"

Yes I used to read "Billys Weekly Liar" as well

hi Pieman, thanks for your comments, i don't know how old you are, you might need to ask your dad or grandad about it, or better still ask Rogues, I think he was the editor.

Grandads have passed cheers anyway, Im 32 so maybe a little less p*** taking as your comment doesnt make any sense as Tallis isnt so old. Or did you just want to try and act funny and try and trip me up due to you being far older.

Sorry about your grandad, and I apologise if I've offended you, I certainly did not intend to do that. "Billys Weekkly Liar" was a send up "paper" that was sold mainly around Blackpool many years ago, hence my reference to it.

The days of rugby leauge being able to compete with union(with or without a cap)are unfortunatley long gone

Union offers players a bigger national profile,more money from tv revenue and most importantly the prospect of a competitive european and worldwide competition,imo leauge is far better to watch but it looks like were in the minority

Sorry, I overreacted last night, No hard feelings

Cheers Pieman, I'm pleased there are no hard feelings
