In yer dreams matey.

I heard they'd snap the hands off anybody who made an offer to take any of their contract players.

Aston normally likes to wait until players have signed contracts with other clubs before making an approach to them. We lost one of our first-choice props for the whole of 2010 thanks to an alleged 'word in his ear', shortly after he had signed a new deal with us. The player in question then demanded an immediate release from the contract he had just signed so that he could move to Sheffield Eagles. Batley refused to budge and the player decided to sit out the entire season. Mr.Aston is a hypocrite to be taking the moral high ground over anyone.

That's news to us. Don't suppose you'll name any names?????

I doubt we will be signing Branighan, I've heard he's on £40K at the moment. We certainly won't be paying anyone that.

A name would be very interesting

Anthony Henderson.

Never heard of him. We have an Andrew Henderson though.

Just signed for Keighley

If the allegations are true though I think Karl Harrison did the right thing.
Players should honour contracts.

Similar thing with Tangi, he was under contract, London's valuation was short of ours so they player didn't move. He had the decency to see out his contract.

He's now out of contract and I don't think anyone begrudges the fact that he's gone to a club who was a great chance of playing Super League in 2012.

So should clubs. But it doesn't always happen.
