I do. As does my girlfriend.

True, but on the other hand how many employers control the diets of their employees?

Yeah but how many people are placed on a specific diet by a nutritionist as part of their job?

Anyone remember John Arne Riise's wage slip from a few years ago?
Meals deducted £65



Not that bad, at least his net pay is over £82k

If that's the case we should provide catering at home and at weekends for the players, a meal at training is a small part of what they eat

the players are not children, do you really think paying a few quid for a meal is such and hardship?

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

Probably the main reason for them downsizing from a 30,000 to 15,000.

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' !
