Ah, on that fact I do agree, but then its like the old joke about the government and opposition, both do and say exactly the same thing, no matter who actually occupies that job.

Thats £79.15 a week more than i get from the government due to apparently not paid enough NI in 2007/2008 so i get absolutely sweet fanny adams. so please don`t put in your post "a whopping" as it`s more than i`ve had since june.

Are you talking about Incapacity Benefit, rather than SSP? SSP is not linked to NI contributions.

I suspect that compensation may not be the issue. Assault charges may have a factor on his ability to play next season.

I think it would be difficult to find a guilty verdict based on his mental state at the time.

No i`m talking about job seekers allowance and any other allowance the unemployed can claim.

I dare say something will have been organised in private between the player and the two chaps who were allegedly assaulted.

I refer to the comments I made some moments ago.

Excellent news

one of our best players - Fatz is back!!

Glad to hear he's on the mend and will be back playing again.

Glad to hear that 'no charges' was the advice given by the cps, this tells us it was 100% medical (not that it was ever in doubt), and the incident can be put behind him with a clear concience leaving him to hopefully return to Superleague rugby as soon as possible.
