Or people will start talking about Gateshead, and then it will get people all angry about the inconsistency of the RFL all over again.

Can someone tell me what happened about the gateshead /hull situation please,before my time ? Thanks.

Unbelievable, so Hull are helping us out by getting Carvell and Gales wage off the payroll.

Yep.

Bearing in mind i would rather have you lot of Hull fans on here instead of your typical Wakie fan(not all),I'll take that with the contempt it deserves

Re: carvell : Mon Feb 10, 2014 2:08 pm  

I'm not a hull or wakefield fan.
You might not like the taste it leaves losing players , but ultimately if/when players leave it saves you money as you're not paying their wages.
Rightly or wrongly a good number of fans I've spoken to regarding the "Bradford situation" feel very bitter about the way the whole thing has been handled and some view the dismantling of the team and/or a points deduction as being a kind of summary justice or the club taking its medicine. The bulls brand has been damaged badly and will take a long time to get it back to where it was and I think they're almost at bottom point so should start to be able to look up within the next month or so.

Gateshead Thunder played in the early days of SL. Unfortunately, as it seems to be usual case, this attempt at an expansion club didn't take off meaning the club had spiraling debt and so was "merged" with Hull FC. That's merged in the way that Hull FC stayed an SL club, got a big wad of cash of SL and helped themselves to Gateshead's players

Maybe you should have hd a look at some of DL's posts before responding, although the before his time bit was probably the truth

Sorry I thought you was a Hull fan.Im sure everyone agrees the last 18 months ?? or so have been pretty shambolic. We were docked 6 points for going into admin and new company not paying old ones debts,also 1.2 million taken from new company for not paying old ones debts.But RFL thought it better every other club should get extra 100k over 2 years instead of the 1.2 million going to pay off old companies debts.So I guess the rules are made up as we go along

Re: carvell : Mon Feb 10, 2014 2:51 pm  

It certainly feels like the rules are made up as they go along. The sport desperately needs a clear and honest statement from the RFL (no matter how bad or unfair it may seem) as to the help they have or have not given to clubs. Only then will people be able to move on; we're a minority sport and can ill afford all this in house fighting, mistrust and hatred.
I won't hold my breath though!

According to reporters Carvell is today training and undergoing fitness tests at Hull FCC training ground seems certain he is gone now.
