Leeds wernt hauled up in front of a judge. For the reasons I have mentioned the rfl asked Leeds to take on the case/be the test case as they can prove the point to any judge in the land in the most simple way.

Is there a date set for a hearing, or is it an on going process?

I'm pretty sure it's on going and has been for a long time.

Is this theory applicabble to the Premier League, Football League and RFU?

Taken from elsewhere, but in short

Just what I said! The union players on Leeds books promo the business very little the rhinos players promo the business in a big way! The rules HMRC have made up just don't stand up Leeds can prove that by how marketable the rhinos players are compared to the tykes. Massive win for Leeds. Massive fail by HMRC

Edited for matty B

Fail

I'm a proud dyslexic! That's how it comes up on my iPhone predictor?

The other year the auditors of one super league club wouldn’t approve the club’s accounts without a specific reference to that club being under investigation by the HMRC being included in the issued accounts.

Which club do you think that was?

Yes we know all about Leeds Rhinos/Tykes etc and the test case.
That the HMRC would come back over image rights etc was predicted and the prediction fulfilled.
Whatever the perceived rights and wrongs of the case the way and the extent that the scams were used was wholly wrong.
HMRC were against image rights from the start but lost cases against a number of soccer players.
It was inevitable they would come back, Whelan knew this and so did everyone else.
It will be interesting to see the test case outcome and the consequences if Leeds lose. Which for RL's sake I hope they don't.

Leeds won't lose, if they did the would just pay the 2 mill. There is no fraud here it's not a criminal case. It's the other sl clubs who will go to the wall Leeds have the cash to clear the situation up I would think the others don't.

It's probably the reason why Leeds have scaled down the South Stand redevelopment.

I think that's more to do with the economic climate. Leeds don't really need more corporate, we have all we need. But to be fair most stadium plans get a scale down from the initial artists impression! It also had headingley surrounded by trees and park? Thats not happening either.

My mate is the cad engineer for the Cas ground! That was like bloody wembley first draft! big metal arch and the lot! seating all the way round like a bowl! Those plans soon got slashed! It's gonna be like wire.

I think it is fantastic that Leeds are keeping the southstand as a terrace. It is iconic in RL. It would have been a real shame had it been a corporate hot spot.

Leeds need to fix the away end though!

I think most new RL grounds will have to be like wires or the LSV. Although the extension of the HJ should make it look much better.

Aren't the funds for that development "ringfenced?"

The away end is poor but totally restricted by the housing.

They could at least put a roof over what's there. That big tree provides a bit of shelter but not much lol

I seem to recall that it was more of a planning issue and the stand had to be below a certain height, hence the reduction in size and capacity in the scaled down proposals.

I agree. Gleeson helped Goulding get into the England team! Now he can't get into first grade at club level.

Getting back to transfer rumours Steffan Ratchford is in today's League Express saying how he's always dreamt of playing for his hometown team and hopes that one day it can happen. He said he's grateful to Salford for all they've done for him and it would be a big decision to leave but he's going to take his time thinking about his next move.

Sounded like a guy that has a few offers on the table and I wouldn't be suprised to see him in a Wigan shirt next season.

Talk about an exageration. Goulding had a very good season last season and what Goulding did well had little to do with Gleeson. Maguire is ruthless and there were times last season when Goulding wasnt in the team and when Pryce and Roberts were selected instead. This is absolutely no different to what has happened so far this season when Goulding was left out after the Catalan match, after being fantastic the when the week before against Leeds. Liam Farrell has also been dropped this season, as has been Josh Charnley amongst others, and I am sure just like last season Goulding will get his chance again. This competition for places is great for the club.

He could turn out to be a very decent signing indeed.

This explains why Leeds have the RFL in their pocket.

I can see the conversation now - you take on HMRC and we will ensure no Leeds player gets a disciplinary ban for the next 100 years

Yeah alright, sure.

Take a look at the try scoring record for wingers outside of Gleeson. Look at Gouldings try scoring record with Gleeson then look at it every other season.
