Scarily, there's a number of reports that RL managers have actually done said thing :eek: At some fairly big clubs, too.

Big Ron was the one I was going to mention.
I doubt I was the only one with a raised eyebrow when he signed that (in CM at least) D/M/F RLC for Sheffield Wednesday back in 97/98.

i know that a lot of premiership teams have their coaches fitted with plugs because some of the players are complete addicts to fm i think some managers use fm when there against teams they have never played before
