Well, some of it is, some of it most certainly isn't. With regards to numbers, some people are more than happy to disclose their salaries and details of their employment package. Some aren't. That happens in all walks of life and certainly includes rugby players! So we can genuinely come to a relatively reasonable figure of what some players are on and how that might affect a clubs cap. Some of the numbers quoted have been astronomic by comparison with recent years for some of the players in our league.
Poor loser? Perhaps. But the strategy of forcing up a price to either a) get the player or b )failing to get the player, ensure opposition club pays through the nose.. appears to have worked Col.

You and I know that Tonka and barlow are costing a wad..., just as we know Andy Ellis is.

Like I said, I'm much more than just happy at the way things have turned out. If you are then it's tickety boo isn't it?

Bit of a "geezer" then is he, this Mark Campbell?

I wonder if he kept upping the bid for the Hull KR stadium revampers - pushed the price up a bit for Hull KR and then pulled out and bought some shedding from Scarborough?

Luvvly jubbly.

I think we just need an injury free season as I have complete faith in Rhino. Fev have had a better team on paper than us for as long as I can remember but they still can't beat us when it matters. Yes, they'll win a GF this year as they have done before, but not against us. We need to win the mid season games away at Batley, and Leigh that Fev do so well. That way we'll be on the big stage with Fev at the end of the season and they'll continue to choke as they have done in every big game we've played. How ever much they have contributed to a very competitive Championship over the last few years, I don't think SL is about village rugby. SL want the big city's which is why most FaxFans think we stand no chance.

Mark Campbell keeps telling his posse that he out-thought Halifax on those signings, but he almost crapped a Drax cooling tower sized turd when someone told him Liam Finn was "being tapped up" in the run up to the NRC final, the usual angry tantrums were thrown by him and of course his coach (at the final whistle) the fact was, he was spooked by the Finny-gate stories which were effectively created by supporters on both sides of the fence gossipping in cup final week. Yes it worked for us that week, c'est la vie....

I really am losing interest in all of this unless promotion & relegation is re-instated, that's the only reward as far as i'm concerned. Putting clubs on standby in case a SL club cannot fulfill it's fixtures does not represent promotion & relegation, it's a cover up for inadequecies.

Mark Cambell has his way of doing things and they have been ok for us. He upped the price you paid for Tonks and Barlow deliberatly and it worked, he told me himself he would get us a very strong squad this year and he has been true to his word, call it unproffesional or whatever you like , he will do for me will Mark

For 99% of your waking life you talk utter carp. However, this is the 1% where you call it bang on.

Suggy talks sense??? Who'd have thought it??

Tonks and Barlow will be costing us a good bob or two; if it turns out that, these contracts are to the detriment of any others signings to build a strong squad, you have to look at the club and coach and question why we have done such a thing. One things for sure, it wont be these 2 that give us the expansive attractive rugby we crave; they can build the platform, but we need halves and creative players to do the rest; Personally I dont think we need them both;

Both good players very good, but with them in your team you still only managed 3rd, will they help you take the next step, im not sure. Would of loved them in our team when we were after them and was gutted we didnt get them. But now im thinking im glad we didnt and ended up with the players we have and there is another big one on the way so the rumours say
