Quote: bulls2487 "The Bulls finances aren't much better we borrow and pay it back. It's not sustainable long-term as one bad year and that's the club at risk.
The question would be in 2018 Fev couldn't afford to field a team, 3 years later they are signing marquee players with no new backer. Martin Vickers involved in signing players the club couldn't afford at Toronto and Salford is the same going to happen at Fev?'"
You're right. We did struggle to put out a full team at the very end of the 2018 season but I don't believe that was due to finance. We were struggling with injuries, our DR partner was also struggling with injuries therefore DR players stopped coming across, we'd missed the play offs and were only in the shield and the date for new signings had passed. We received special dispensation to play the Leeds youngsters in the Shield final as did Leigh for their DR youngsters. But this had nowt to do with finances , but more to do with DR failings when injuries hit both parties. We all dislike DR but Fev laid their stall out to go big with DR and it came back to bite them.
