I agree, but still.. he shouldn't be piddled when he was the one who signed the contract.

Either way, if we get some decent players in and a huge transfer fee then that's great.

As much as i hate to say it, i hope Morrison gives up playing for his own sake, but we keep him on as a coach.

Jamie Peacock didn't do to bad for us in his final year and half at Bulls.

I, and at least one other poster on here, were told a bit ago from the highest level the gate the club needed to break even on a matchday. We were also told the incremental financial "contribution" per head through the turnstiles. The economics may well have changed since then, of course. But I recognise the figure being quoted.

The figure was 10k IIRC.

He'll almost certainly end up at Manly and I wouldn't be surprised to see him follow Beaver over for a few years at the end of next season. I'd like to then see him return a much better player for the Bulls but that is unlikely if we're still achieving similar results to this season.

How good are his younger brothers? Do they have genuine potential as SL players? He'd no doubt relish the opportunity to play alongside them but hopefully not as keen to play with older brother Luke!



I certainly wouldn't stand in his way if he fancied a stint in the NRL, if I got offered employment over there I'd probably go too.

There is always an exception to every rule but good point, well made.

Peacock was luckier though in the fact that he was playing in a top side who were THE team at the time. Burgess is not and carries a huge burden on very young shoulders.

Does anyone know our average so far?

10,268

I was referring to a discussion where only two of us and a very senior club official were present.

So getting a little too close for comfort to losing a franchise point as well..

I hope we have some positive signings next year to compliment some promising youngsters.

And considering the Leeds, Saints and both Hull games have gone, it doesn't look good.

The only one left that realistically has a chance of beating 10k is our next one against Wigan (which I'm due to be in the corporate facilities for - irrelevant, but wanted to mention it anyway lol).

Harlequins, Catalans and Salford to come at home. None are going to be good crowds at all.

That average WILL be under 10k come the end of the season.
