THE BULLS have confirmed to the T&A that all their staff were paid on time yesterday after rumours spread following a tweet from Dane Chisholm, who claimed players from an unnamed club had not received wages.

The Australian, who left Bradford to join Featherstone in April, wrote on Twitter: "Lending money to mates because they haven’t been paid and have bills to pay. Won’t mention what club. It’s not right... one job, pay your players !!!"

His claim led to speculation on social media over which club he was referring to.

Bulls have said they have paid their players and staff for June, while Sheffield Eagles - another former club of Chisholm's - released a statement on Twitter.

It read: “The club can confirm all our players and staff were paid on time, on Friday 28th June as per contractual agreements.

“Rumours on social media regarding a club’s non/late payments of salaries are not related to Sheffield Eagles RLFC.”
