A statement such as

for anybody is quite ridiculous. For a holier than thou moderator, embarrassing.

But don't let that stop your pish weak defence.

Why? Is it not true?

Sounds like you've just got a chip on your shoulder to me.

It's not justified by your link, no (tbh). Unless by "attention seeking, whingeing, money grabber" you mean Mickey Rourke.

I think it's justified by several other links in this thread, especially considering it relates to a person who wanted to get on with his career and put the whole coming out process and the Cas incident behind him.

Your potentially libellous, overtly subjective offering is the problem, nor in the slightest bit justified by a tenuous link to Mickey Rourke.

Yes, I can see how you are helping to overcome the problems of "perception" highlighted by the RFL.

Disgraceful. After allowing himself to be abused, he's now allowing people to want to make a film about him. The audacity of the man. He should be stopped before it's too late.

Dont worry he will stop it himself if theres not enough money in it.

More likely he will stop when either small minded idiots stop abusing him or they bankrupt their club in fines

I'm a similar build to Gareth Thomas....and have a similar hairstyle and tattoos.

If Dally Messenger from the NRL/VT forum is willing to step in and be my 'stunt double' for any gay sex scenes that may or may not be in the film I'd be more than happy to play him.

And I'm heaps cheaper than Mickey Rourke.

It won't even get past the actual writing, nobody wants to watch a film about him

nobody outside of Rugby has heard of him, the Americans won't give a toss and there's just no money in it, so no company would pick it up.

Not to mention, without Cas' permission, any use of the clubs name would land them in deep legal trouble as I believe the club name is a trademark.

More of a skidmark at the moment!

Definitely.

Well quite a few of our fans, including myself, have wrote or mailed to the RFL regarding the fine and complaining. Everyone of them, certainly myself and all the others I have spoken to, have received the same standard reply. That is that since Castleford have lodged an appeal that it is inappropriate for the RFL to comment on the matter whilst the appeal is still impending.

That suggests strongly that one has been lodged. I would certainly hope so, as as far as I am concerned we have absolutely no case to answer. If it does turn out that we have not lodged one then RW and co. seriously need to be thrown out as they are unbelievably weak.

That's a very good point Bullet. Seriously and I wouldn't kid anyone on, I know of two top solicitors and I mean top, who have let it be known that if our club were to engage them, they would get them off with all charges, log, stock and barrel. I will not go into it, but the RFL would not have a leg to stand on, unless they were wanting to set in place very serious implications I am pretty certain we have lodged an appeal, but if we haven't then quite frankly you are dead right, our club has a leadership that is incredibly weak.

I know I shouldn't but ...



...this made me have a coffee/monitor interface moment.

Carry on.

Wow. Lawyers saying 'if you hired me, I'd win your case'. Unheard of.



Normally they go all out to say "pay me a large wedge, but you'll still lose'.

Might have something to do with throwing bottles of beer at players aswell (Catalans).

This seems a little out of place. Which post were you referring to? Seems odd you'd suddenly turn up on this thread, too.

My point is that the RFL look at recent history when making decisions on fines.

But which post were you referring to?

Oh the irony.

Please explain......Should I call you God?

You seem to be the one with the [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyleague/article-496604/League-Hull-KR-guilty-derby-clash-pitch.htmlholier than thou attitude[/url.

And you sir seem to have delusions of grandeur..
