Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Doesn't really matter why, does it, we're only going to get half the money of everyone else for two seasons and that is that. I suppose you could say that, overall, in a very complex set of goings on between the RFL, Sl, administrator, SL clubs and chairmen etc etc the RFL obviously thought that taking everything they had learned into consideration (which will obviously be 100 times more than we mere observers know) this is what they would require, and since OKB [iare[/i the new owners, they equally obviously agreed to take this "medicine".
So i am not having a go, but any navel-gazing as to whether this or that woulda coulda shoulda or fairness etc is surely irrelevant; we are where we are, OKB agreed what they agreed, and are getting on with it.
It may be a total outrage, or it may be the fairest thing ever, I don't care any more, it is what it is.
All I will say is it is yet another poke in the eye to our many trolls and critics who accused OKB of effectively not paying enough, it has cost and will cost them plenty. The only question to me though is what will the RFL do with that "windfall". Don't think anybody has commented.'"
When Wakefield were promoted to SL we received no Sky money for the first 2 years and spent subsequent seasons trying to catch up with everyone else!
