Quote ="JB Down Under"A marquee player exemption would solve the issue. Make it so the marquee signing has to be either in your own club, to keep a star player, or a signing outside of SL so we don't weaken half the comp. pay them whatever you like. Issue sorted. Hang some rich guy willing to spend money the club doesn't have is a short sighted recipe for un sustainability. The games history is littered with failed clubs whose owners gambled and ">lost.'" Well put in a financial fair play rule then instead of a cap, if an owner puts money in and he writes the money off then.fair play, this will stop all these barmy chairman that everyone seems to think are about that will spend millions they don't have, tbh I don't think chairman of the lower clubs would over spend, it's the big clubs in the past who've done it.

Isn't fraudulent trading illegal?

Yes it is. But what was described isn't fraudulent trading unless the company know they cannot or will not pay back the creditor.

That's different to having fewer assets than liabilities.

Most people who've gone into negative equity have fewer assets than liabilities, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't pay the mortgage.

Quote ="Leaguefan"The marquee player option will kill a team. Ask Wally Lewis about hi time at Wakey. Your that good and you get all the big bucks, then you do it all will be the general feeling in the rest of the team. Recipe for disaster, but then the RFL are such good What">cooks.'" What year was that?

Your that good and you get all the big bucks, then you do it all will be the general feeling in the rest of the team. Recipe for disaster, but then the RFL are such good ">cooks.'" Why what would Wally Lewis say? I played 11 games alongside Wally Lewis at Wakefield Trinity and he loved every minute of his time with the team and in the city. I still speak to him regularly today and he holds a special place in his heart for the club and really wants to come back at some stage to do after-dinner speaking and catch up with the many friends he made. The only way it didn't work out was that Wakefield even with Wally Lewis didn't avoid relegation that season but his influence and impact on the club is felt even today. If you are referring to the supposed player revolt because of the money he was earning whilst it is true there were about three older senior players who for their own petty reasons resented the money that Wally was being paid that was the limit of it. It lasted about a week and those three senior professionals were put firmly in their place by the other players the committee of the club and Wally himself via his performances on the field. To the poster who says that he was a c0ck, you obviously didn't know him and have never spent any time with him because he is anything but!

Must be great memories!



Wonder if you played at Belle Vue on Wally's debut. (Also Pter Sterling's debut for Hull FC). I can recall to this day the amazing roar when Wally made his first clean break!



Also saw him sent off at Headingley on Boxing Day for back chat. Recall Nigel Stephenson I think ushering him off the field. Wonder if Nigel was one of the 3? Wally said he would never play in England again after that - and he didn't!
