That sort of behaviour has gone on down the centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was common for someone to appear in court charged with poaching a rabbit to feed his starving family - only to find the magistrate was the farmer from whose land he took said creature.

I'm sure that nothing even remotely like that would occur in these enlightened times though....

I don't know about rabbits, but if there was an aardvark on my estate I would shoot it myself & feed it to the poor.

Watch out for the genus Ferocium Aardvarkium, when their teeth into something they are like a dog with a bone.....

You don't have an estate. You're running a Toyota Corolla IIRC.

When I lived on an estate I always called it my estate....though the gang from the other end often had other ideas..

It's actually an IIIRC. Which is the later model.

Last time Mick mentioned something similar, it was when Moore said his piece in the RL press. As I remember, we all ran to buy our copy to all think the same thing..... "Is that it?!"

Here's hoping to a better scoop, but i'm not going to hold my breath.

I imagine that Asian Sunday will be running a story about how the RFL are racist. Probably citing the stuff with Omar and his time as owner of the Bulls

Re: Ownership and twists : Wed May 21, 2014 6:22 pm  

Interesting coincidence though. Whitcut made his allegations ( which RFL seem to be ignoring),and appeal postponed til end of month same day. Now this article coming out with whatever it contains and appeal put back another week. Almost like RFL want to give whatever claims are coming out time to die down before appeal.

Re: Ownership and twists : Wed May 21, 2014 6:47 pm  

Maybe, but they risk the claims then making it into the appeal.

I would have thought they would have got the appeal sorted as quickly as they could, so that any allegations made after the verdict would no longer add any value.

I'm not sure what to make of the silence from Red Hall regarding recent allegations - It does just seem the attitude is;

"Crap, they're onto us. If we put our fingers in our ears and hum really loudly it will all eventually just go away"
