At least the silence has been broken.
I'm in a bit of a quandary here, about what the contracts entail. The owner is quoted, by Mark Taylor, as saying
"When players enter contracts as in business do they should be met." I would have expected there to be an obligation, on the part of the club, to meet the contracts in full, but is there some form of performance-related term in there? (i.e. was there any reference to the top four? John Duffy's second year at Featherstone appeared to depend on a top four place)
It seems to have been pretty straightforward to get the other remaining players to take a cut, so maybe there is/was a condition referring to league placing?
Here's hoping a way forward can be found very soon - and that the club keeps its customer base appraised of the situation. I'm sure that the vast majority on here are desperate to hear that we have found a way out of this nightmare. (and yes, I'm aware that the owner will be even more desperate than the rest of us, for a resolution!)
