they are going to trial because they were partners and it has been alledged that one of them has been stealing money from the business and yes they are in voluntary admin because of the rorting

Eels players getting money in brown paper bags?
I'd like to think that isn't the case by any means.

If Orford is as good as done as well, then why do we see a new article everyday talking about the Bradford Bulls and their constant reluctance to let Ox leave their club?

With you on this ricky

I really hope its not.

P.S - Rick. Did you get my PM last night

it's a rumor-a-thon today and i don't believe any of them. Rumors around that The Dogs are chasing Slater and that the tigers players want Marshall gone. All BS for sure.

i think the year before they were sponsors of the club some players were getting paid to mention the product in interviews etc. I remember Burt and Hindy on the footyshow one time and Burt was rubbing Hindy's toe with painaway and Jarryd got a man of the match and said during the interview that he needed a painaway bath after the game as he was sore.
If they weren't club sponsors at the time then it's fine i think but if they were sponsoring the club then it is a breach.

I thought Marshall had a clause that if Sheens left he could. Wasn't there mention of sheens leaving the tigers a while ago?
Ricky October 7, 2010 at 1:58pm

Well then we have to hope that at that time, they weren't club sponsors.
Ricky October 7, 2010 at 1:59pm

I wouldn't think it is.
After the Storm debacle, players and clubs would be silly to try and do anything even remotely associated to that.

I actually didn't get the PM.
So you'll have to send it through again.

I have to say that I actually did LOL at the Slater to Dogs rumour in particular.

The Marshall rumour can be put to bed after Robbie Farah said it wasn't true on Twitter.

as if the Dogs can fit anymore under the cap for next year.
