This weeks RL Weekly page 14 by Steve Martyn says this.

Halifax could be competing for a significant cash payout in 2014, according to Chairman Michael Steele.

League Weekly understands up to £400,000 will be on offer for the top two Championship teams next term as the RFL move to finalise the sport's restructuring.

The proposed fees are designed to help transform promoted second-tier clubs from being part time to full time and it is believed the sizeable sums are going to be available for those who finnish third and fourth on the Championship ladder.

Plans to reduce the number of top flight Super League teams from 14 to 12, the axed pair joining the Championship from 2015 are being finalised by Red Hall bosses.

And in the view of Steele, the aformentoned funding is likely to come in to act as support for promotion chasing clubs against more established and full time Super League clubs.

"Where we finish next season is likely to determine our funding for 2015 admitted Steele."

"The figures are still under discussion but the RFL will have significantly more funding available as a result of the two teams leaving Super league."

Meanwhile the clubs recruitment drive is continuing at an impressive rate for next season.

It is believed Batley Bulldogs hooker Paul Mennell is close to agreeing terms, a move which would see him link up with formr Mount Pleasant boss Karl Harrison.

Fev would still be over their cap ( see what i did there )

It adds to the pressure to get the team performing on the field next year that's for sure.

Absolutely, this year is just for prestige and a notch on your honours board and we have to just write it off as a lesson learned now, a bad day at the office with some players who did not perform and bad luck with injuries.
Next season we have to get it right and be in that top 2 ready for the huge challenge that is 2015, we can with the right signings and Karl upping his game plan on how we play, can we afford a backs coach?
I really hope we can step things up, we fell short this time but we just need to up things about 20% which can be done.

What does Lee Greenwood do.....???

the recent reactiv investment is for behind the scenes, not players.

Is he a coach, perhaps ? Does he coach the backs ?

Oh I don't know - you Fax supporters will know all about that.....

He's never forgiven Andy Gorski for not passing when they had two on one against Billy Slater not letting Lee score in the corner in the friendly against The Storm a couple of years back.

No wonder our backs never get the ball

Expect some interesting close seasons moves from the 4

Well how about people requesting a backs coach.... So I asked the obvious question, obviously?????
