We don't get any development money from the RFL, we just have Directors who know how to sensibly run a rugby club.

I think you will find that some of the development money you don't get wasn't spent on development.

They must know the ins and outs of how to claim development grants, with help and guidance from the RFL who in turn "talk up" their potential, and in turn, receive more grant money.

I remember the Leigh, Sheffield Northern Rail final at the Shay.
The North Stand was virtually empty.

Even more ridiculous, they manage to hire 40,000 capacity stadiums for some of their games.

My least favourite team in the comp as well as London who will probably stay full time and announce a cluster of big name signings on crowds of 250 for next year.

The 40,000 capacity stadiums are the only stadiums in Sheffield that currently meet the RFL requirements.

Until our own ground is finally built, where else do you suggest?

That's disgraceful.

You need to pass your evidence of this to the RFL.

Oh - hold on a minute, you haven't any.

Well however Eagles do it, they do it year in year out, recent back to back champions and are usually in the mix when push comes to shove.

I wonder how we or some other clubs near the top would go on with their crowds.

I can't recall them as a club ever being involved in any controversy regarding anything dodgy.

Someone must be doing something right and / or financing them without the banner headlines others employ, just quietly going about their business and producing the goods.

I will buck the trend and offer a respectful nod in their direction.

Only a tiny one though that even the most hyper watchful auctioneer might miss.

How disappointing was yesterday? I know that we copped a couple of injuries and I know that the ref was a twit but we really should have won that game. In some ways it reminded me of the London match, I came away wondering just how we lost it. What is our aversion to taking the 1/2 pointers? 6-18 becomes 6-19/20 and we get the ball back and go again. We don't have to score on every set. But on we go and let's hope we get at least one win out of these games, Leigh or Bullies would do, preferably both! Sportsman, Whippet English Pale 4.8 % Mmm!

What you believe is - as always - coloured by your unswerving support for Fax.

Why did Scott kick on the second tackle with approx 10 mins to go?
