You might suppose that. I could not possibly comment...

(Except I already did in my earlier post, when I suggested he paid for it with his job. I of course should have prefaced that with "....many people believe..." if I am to avoid the need to retain the likes of Gareth's services...)[/size

he f*cked up.



It still leaves a slight sour taste in the mouth that many people still consider leeds the bad guys in all that, trying to ''de-stabalise the bulls''.

Now thats the bit that makes me chuckle, the thought that Iestyn had the faintest idea what "image rights" were all about.



Have I ever told you the story about the Iestyn and the bath that was advertised in the Leeds matchday programme ?

Rubbish. everyone knows Hitler was much better at Fullback

What I didn't agree with at the time was that IMO Leeds did not want Iestyn to come back. If he had it would have disrupteda team that was gelling with the emergenve of Burrow, McGuire and Sinfield. (Remember at the time Sinfield regularly played SO). His return would hasve disrupted the salary cap and probably meant that Leeds would have to release youngsters at the time. Before Iestyn went to the Bulls there was a lot of debate about whether Leeds should sign him and IIRC the majority didn't want him to re-sign. That is why i felt at the time that GH should let it go.

More rubbish spread by people on here at the time who knew nothing.



I said it at the time, and I will maintain it. I personally in the position I was in at a company, was approached and had meetings with GH on the subject of sponsoring Harris on his return.



Of course that could have been some elaborate bluff in order to cover themselves should a court case arise, but I doubt it.

Was that for image rights?

I stand by the statement that IMO Leeds did not want IH back at the time. Their agreement with IH meant that they were committed to taking him back and that is probably why they were approaching third parties to offload some of the cost if required. Just because they were preparing for his potential return based on an agreement signed three years earlier does not mean that they would have considered that option if there had been no agreement in place.



You may want to think about what I said in future rather than taking a bit of info you had and jumping to conclusions about the background to that info.

If there had been an internet in the 1980's I shudder to think what the discussion regarding Dean "Judas" Bell would have been like.

Who approached you, Phil Daly?

Unbelievable - all rugby players are thick - and not capable of making their own decisions!!



Graham Murray was a rugby player not sure you would say he was thick, Tony Smith the same etc
