I feel sorry for Fev fans in truth. Campbell and Vickers have really made them a laughing stock time and time again. I believe they haven't even sent supporters merchandise they paid for before Christmas which is pretty shoddy.

Realistically, Fev need putting in special measures until they pay players/coaches what they're owed. How can they justify bringing an NRL half back over when they've not even paid testimonial money from a year ago?

The players union and RFL are aware.

He doesnt want or wish any malice, just wants it sorted, who wouldnt after 14 months

Just going back to the Fev situation, wasn't it non payment to players that had something to do with our points deduction back in 2001.

I thought that was for tapping up Jason Robinson
Might be wrong..
The only club to get done for illegally tapping up a player…

Think Maurice Lindsey was behind it …
Spent half his time trying to think up ways to get Trinity out of SL
but failed Miserably…

The points deduction was for breaking the cap iirc. I think it was set as a percentage of turnover or something similar back then.

I also think we were assessed on the wages we should have paid rather than what we actual ended up playing (or didn't end up paying really )

We were fined for the Robinson fiasco but the points which were originally 6 reduced to 4 on appeal definitely related to breaking the salary cap. I may be mistaken but I believe Wigan were deducted points for a similar infringement, the only difference being we did not have the money to pay the contracts and Wigan did.
