It isn't. Just as if you go into a shop, you have no right to know what the staff who are serving you earn. Standee is quick to say that RL is a business when it suits him. How many businesses routinely disclose to their customers what their staff are earning?

I've never said it was right or wrong, simply that I am interested to know.

Fair enough. I have better things to be interested in though. As long as it never gets to the obscene state of affairs we see in football, I don't really care what individuals earn.

I can see both points of view, it's like the whole Crocker situation, I assume we are paying him whilst he awaits his visa, will that count on the cap even if he doesn't come over and play etc.etc.

WOW call the HDM quick Standee says he can see "both points of view"
only kiddin, I dont think it has anything to do with us what he is earning, and people who fixate about others wage are usually on a poor one!!!

As for the topic in hand I believe he has set out his stall quite nicely, he is honest, hard working and certainly looks like he has a future here but by his own admission states he has a way to go!! and that was a cracking one hander he threw as well!!

funniest thing I have read on here in ages!

Anyway, Moa, he is shaping up okay, don't understand the almost hysteria about him, he's solid and shows promise, my own concern is if he is limiting Maloneys opportunities, or is Maloney not going to cut it?

My view on him is he clearly isn't fit atm and so i think he should play in the reserves until his fitness levels improve and he can give the team more than a 10min spell. I can see potential in him but I think Washy & King are better options for now.

He looks a guy who fans will take to because he seems to be loving every minute of his time here. His badge kiss at Bradford after 20 mins of playing for the club will no doubt make him a world beater already with some of our fans.

Overall, I hope he up's his fitness levels and proves to everybody that this project was worth a punt.

Washy and King werent fit for Friday though. I expect King to come in for Moa on Saturday now he has got a 21s game under his belt.

Surely he can last for more than 10 mins? Bring him on with 10 to go in the 1st and for another spell in the 2nd.
