When they are getting ordered to eat 3000+ calories per day it'll cost a few bob. Much more than the average joe anyway and then you have to factor in that some of the younger lads won't be on a big wedge either

It's probably a subsidised canteen.

You'd think so. When diet is as important as it is you'd think the club and coaches would want as much control over it as possible. Obviously we can't expect IL to fork out for the players grocery shopping but I think it would a bit hypocritical for the club to make specific dietary demands of the players and then expect them to stump up cash for food eaten at training
Saying that I wonder what Feka's pie bill is at Salford. I bet they'd have finished that stadium by now if they hadn't signed him

That's not as daft as it sounds, if the taxman considers it as "income" - which "benefit in kind" is - then it's salary, and would be weighed in in the calculations against the salary cap..........
Oh noes, I feel another 6-point deduction coming fron the ArseFL for Wigan trying to avoid salary cap restrictions under the "not in the spirit of the cap " interpretation
Same old Wigan....always cheatin' !
