Does Sydney not have lists of court hearings?

I've not seen any evidence to support The Sun's article yet other than forum postings. So at the moment, in my belief, I'm in the 'I'll believe it when I see it/hear it' camp

Can't see it on Google, but then they may not publish them. Or only publish high profile ones.

Shenton accepted less money at St Helens than Cas offered him to stay - decided to go to a side that were competing to win trophies and had a brand spanking new stadium on the horizon. As a Saints player no-one bats an eyelid if he's selected for the national side whereas whilst at Cas he knew he'd have to prove himself that extra bit more to get selected.

Whilstever we continue to play out of the dilapidated old ground we'll never generate the income to compete at the top table, which is the REAL reason why we need to get the new ground built and not simply to 'tick a box' for the purpose of the franchises. The same applies to Wakefield....

And Imo thats where the problem with our national side lies.

Some grossly inflated figures there I think. I'm sure the club would have you think that. At the end of the day they can't say we need to sell our best players because we can't compete in the market place. The off season should be interesting I wonder what the excuse will be for selling Rangi

In recent memory we have sold 1 player- westerman can even remember the last player cas sold before him.

You have sold-ferguson, pitts, atkins, brough, millard, obst, ellis, solomona

any i have missed?

so which is the selling club in the district?

Although we didn't technically sell him, Michael Platt went for a fee to Bradford if I remember rightly. Didn't we insert a clause in his contract?

Apart from Dee Hell's normal psspoor trolling, this whole thread is based on an article in the Sun, sister paper of the News of the World, wtf?

Something to do with him being under a certain age meant that we could get a transfer fee. It was only about £10k though wasn't it?

wnf is correct. The £10k figure was set by tribunal as the Bulls disputed the need for a fee, believing relegation to have rendered his contract to be invalid. A smart move from RW that one.
