Dont worry he will stop it himself if theres not enough money in it.

More likely he will stop when either small minded idiots stop abusing him or they bankrupt their club in fines

I'm a similar build to Gareth Thomas....and have a similar hairstyle and tattoos.

If Dally Messenger from the NRL/VT forum is willing to step in and be my 'stunt double' for any gay sex scenes that may or may not be in the film I'd be more than happy to play him.

And I'm heaps cheaper than Mickey Rourke.

It won't even get past the actual writing, nobody wants to watch a film about him nobody outside of Rugby has heard of him, the Americans won't give a toss and there's just no money in it, so no company would pick it up.

Not to mention, without Cas' permission, any use of the clubs name would land them in deep legal trouble as I believe the club name is a trademark.

That is that since Castleford have lodged an appeal that it is inappropriate for the RFL to comment on the matter whilst the appeal is still impending. That suggests strongly that one has been lodged. I would certainly hope so, as as far as I am concerned we have absolutely no case to answer. If it does turn out that we have not lodged one then RW and co. seriously need to be thrown out as they are unbelievably weak.

That's a very good point Bullet. Seriously and I wouldn't kid anyone on, I know of two top solicitors and I mean top, who have let it be known that if our club were to engage them, they would get them off with all charges, log, stock and barrel. I will not go into it, but the RFL would not have a leg to stand on, unless they were wanting to set in place very serious implications I am pretty certain we have lodged an appeal, but if we haven't then quite frankly you are dead right, our club has a leadership that is incredibly weak.
