But they can't they were the ones that changed the rules to it being 'were a player was trained'. They then muddied the waters even more by throwing out the exemptions. We now have a raft of players who are 'fed trained' when they are nothing of the kind. Put it this way if Newton,Galea,Vella,Webster or Fisher were shown the door by HKR and taking into account that they are still going to be classed as fed trained no matter where they go do you think they will get picked up by another SL club? We all know the answer to that question dont we.

One point docked for each non British player, thereby rewarding clubs who are participating in the spirit of the original principles. Although FC would fall foul of this with just one (Manu) and therefore would drop to a B, so maybe it's not such a good idea.

Long, Sinfield, Chase, Tomkins, Eastmond and Briers than him.
I'm not saying that the fact he's played in the GF and CC more than Dobson is absolute proof however it's clear that the HB is a vital cog in a team - perhaps the single most vital (see us and Bradford in recent years for proof). Cooke has being a very important player for a team who have won the CC final and got to a grand final and has proven he can be a top player in a top team whereas Dobson hasn't.
if you took your black and White specs offand were honest you'd bs saying massively different, I'd say 90% of fc fans would take dobbo over long. Briers great as he mightve been is way past his best, sinfield is a loose and chase may be good on his day but is very inconsistant. I'll give you eastmond and tompkins. If all the sh's in sl were put up for an auction dobbo would be in the top pick slots along with tompkins, eastmond and myler.

1) In talks with council to have Marfleet Road traffic lights manned to ensure less traffic congestion before and particularly after games. Next season the camera's which control traffic down Preston road to be used to alleviate problems.
2) Buses which service C.P. leaving to early after the games ( Probably to avoid said traffic congestion) are to be consulted about leaving a little later. Bus (s) to be run via villages like Skirlaugh and those on route direct to C.P.
3) Many players (and agents) have been spoken to, and being spoken to, regarding many players ( only a few who fans pick up on) and this is almost on a daily basis. A few irons in the fire apart from those where rumours appear on message boards, but its a fine line between players wanting to come , for the right price, and fitting into the jigsaw, that the coach wants.
4) Current players who are OOC at the end of the season will not neccesarily leave the club. ( By intimation) Wheeldon has not signed for Wakey.
Thats about it mate.
Standing up to the forum bully.
It must be working, he doesn't like me...i'm devastated

And you lot say Rule can talk for an hour whilst saying nothing. Did no one ask about the ground developments?

Gutted that I missed it. An hour discussing the traffic and giving no information on player movements. I'm looking forward to the upcoming musical Robins Night though. Might be next week
