But you don't lose by many, even against SL sides so a win can't be very far away. |

| Quote Jemmo="Jemmo"While I get your point I don't think it been an entirely free willed diecsion to just give these (or the others to follow) players away for the hell of it or as part of what was percieved as a mangement decision, but the decisions have been made very badly at soime stage for this to happen by any means
But regardless of that it is indeed very very demoralising
Saying all that, we've had worse individual circumstances, but it keeps happening and happening and that's what get's to us the most'"
I agree, some people (if they haven't already) will just get fed up of the financial rollercoaster-ride. |

| Quote SteveRoebuck="SteveRoebuck"I agree should be Pay as you play with incentives for winning and draws, minimum pay for a loss.
It will never happen tho the clubs with money will just offer higher match payments all will get all the best players there is little loyality in sport, You cannot blame the players its a short career and im sure we'd all move jobs if someone offered us more money for the same job.'"
Just so you know Halifax operate on a pay as you play system but do offer generous win bonus.
Excuse my ignorance as I really don't know but how come your club is offloading players all of a sudden? I thought you had yoursleves on an even keel again now? Was your chairman not even speaking about applying for SL?? |

I think you can ask any of our supporters and we'll agree. |

This statement swayed my opinion more than the signing of Handforth to be honest.
Batley Bulldogs are pleased to announce that after lengthy discussions last night (Monday) Karl Harrison will stay on as coach until the end of the season. |

| Why am I not in the least surprised this is happening? We've been inept and dull for 90 % of the season. You can't expect people to watch tosh week in and week out and I really do envy the diehards, but the standard of rugby we have had dished up to us this season has been enough to cure even the most hardened insomniac. It would turn me to drink if only they sold owt decent enough at the Keepmoat 
Yet another sad chapter in the book of Doncaster RLFC  |

I believe a lot of this started last season when we paid for glory but have suffered long term.Players have and will always jump ship when it is getting battered and income is low.Remember Craig Weston etc.It is a fact of life with struggling clubs

Yeah, I remember Craig Weston, he was still here for weeks after many other high-salaried players had gone and as the senior man was asked by the remaining players to talk to the then Coach about team selection / tactics etc. The Chairman backed the Coach (not surprisingly) over the disagreement and Weston was out (although by then I'd be surprised if he wasn't relieved). |

And this thread seems so long ago I bet:
viewtopic.php?t=402259
Note that I did refer to bringing round the buckets then!
A solvency practitioner that I know said that you can always tell when a company is about to crumble when they errect a flagpole outside HQ. I think the equivalent in RL circles is a CC club talking about future entry to SL. |

| The Free Press makes for gloomy reading today.
But Miller is confident we can cause a surprise at Fev.
What surprise might that be then? |
