Quote: dally messenger "something like 80,000 - 100,000 pounds per club dependant on satisfying certain criteria'"
Nowhere near
The whole ' prize pot ' available to the 21 Championship clubs this year is 2.1 million pounds
Hence the RFL's claims that the average available to every club is 100 K each
But this money includes 200 K prizemoney for getting to the 2 GF's , the 50 K for the NRC, the Co-oP money for televised matches approx 130 K , the travel money for the Championship clubs to and from toulouse around 200 K
So that takes care of around 600 K , leaving around 60 K available to individual clubs , to get this money they need to employ a F/T CEO even if they have a board member or a board members employee doing this already P/T
They also need to employ a F/T marketing person whose purpose is to bring in sponsorship , once again if the club already has somebody doing this either P/T or F/T along with other duties they cannot use the money to pay them but must employ somebody else , the RFL then require proof of this persons performance and if it isn't good enough the funds can be removed
HTH
Just out of interest which non NRL club do you support ?
