Good balenced report on the proceedings there Simc. Thanks

It is JK's Birthday and he is out celebrating (and no - it's not his new job!

)

Any news on the two new signings?

Supposedly will be released in the next few days. Both have SL and international experience. With those clues it narrows it down a little.

Don't know about that, with all these emerging nations and grandparent nationality stuff it seems like nearly every SL player is an international

The panel were asked to explain the difference between Federation players,Non Federation,Quota players etc, and a question was asked from the audience, "Why is Sam Obst still classed as a Quota player when he has been over here so long and yet J.D isn't a quota player?
This question seemed to be overlooked at the meeting, so can anyone explain on here?

Obst has not got a European passport, Demetriou has.

Thanks for clearing that up

For someone who lives on the wrong side of the pennines and so couldn't attend, can you summarise waht was said about the tax issue

Thanks

'It's a non-story' is what he said. We have a smaller tax bill this year than last and it is disappointing that it made the news.

Also confirmed that it had no effect on player recruitment and that in his opinion (Ted) we would be stronger this year than last!

Ted was miffed that it had got into the press because as far as he was concerned a deal had already being made with the taxman and payments were being met. He said that cause of it was a cash flow problem as crowds were down last year; he didn’t seem overly concerned by it.

Any news on Broughy??

Still in negotiations.

I suppose if Henderson can play for Scotland with his shorts on back to front anyone can play international RL.

Has king represetative honours?

Somone near us was suggesting it may be Westwood. Would love that!

benny would love to come home, and i'm sure he will eventually, but unless there's trouble at wire and we can snap him up cheap I can't see it until were in our new home.

Today Stanley, tomorrow the world.

Johnson.
King.

Close, but no cigar!



(No I don't know - but I do know there's a surprise coming!

)

From your smiley I guess its a nice surprise rather than a nasty surprise.

Johnson and SBW

Of course you know,you tease.

I bet you let your kids shake the presents under the xmas tree --- then wind them up about whats in them.

It COULD be the one I mentioned last night as just been reading about his origins.

Sylvain Houles?
