| Quote Hullrealist="Hullrealist"It was a New start when smith walked through the door. 5 weeks into preseason already showing a poor attitude.
Obviously, you can only move a player on if someone’s willing to take him and he’s willing to go. Attitude is everything on the rugby pitch. If a players attitude isn’t up to it then their cap space is wasted. Too many players refusing to accept responsibility for the club’s failures and are wanting to point the blame somewhere else'"
As I stated before, we have players under contract for another 12 months. The club can’t afford to pay them off and obviously these players don’t want to or can’t be moved on. Everyone knows they’re a waste of cap space but it’s a pointless exercise complaining about it. Apparently Shaull has stated he’ll see his contract out at FC then retire from playing to go back bricklaying. Now tell me how you’re going to deal with that attitude, rightly or wrongly, it’s his decision to make because of inept management.

| wonder if its part of the new lease agreement, we weren't getting use of the facilities we were paying good money to use/play in
also noticed in the interview with Pearson, the only debt the club has is the loan to the government!

Technically it’s a loan from the RL, I believe. The government handed a lump sum to the RL and they made cash sums available to those clubs that applied. I wonder when the cash has to be paid back to the government because this will impact the RL. Are they in a position to reimburse without the clubs coughing up. If the clubs need to reimburse prior to the loan being paid back, I can see a few clubs floundering.

The RFL took on responsibility for administering the loans, along with Sport England and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

That was 2020 and loans worth a further £16.7 million were made available to the men’s professional game in 2021, alongside £1.45 million in grants to the community game.

The terms of repayment were not made public but I haven’t seen anything suggesting that the RFL acted as a guarantor… or, in fairness, that they didn’t.
When Rugby Union club Wasps went bust, the tax payer took the hit for their £14.1 million COVID survival package loan going unpaid, suggesting that the RFU wasn’t responsible for repayments.

| Quote Armavinit="Armavinit"Haven’t you ever seen how they water the pitch before games and at half-time for football. I’ve often commented how the arena smells like a pond. City practice on it all season, it’s not like FC are going to tear the pitch apart, practicing on it.'"
The pitch was in a right state last season before a rugby ball was kicked !

A tad site better than Headingley, the only thing they can practice doing on that pitch is making sandcastles.
