Tiger, can you please tell us how big the Giants and devils losses were?

It's the £400k ground rental that makes my eyes water, and I wouldn't imagine that they get anything from the bars etc.

Quote Sir Kevin Sinfield="Sir Kevin Sinfield"For the second year running Wigan have posted a very large loss. They lost over £600k in 2016 despite winning the grand final. It doesn't bode well for the game if the 2nd biggest club can't even run at a profit. We need to make our game more international, to draw in major sponsors and stop looking to small mining towns if Super League is to survive as a professional league. www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby-l ... -1-8761858'" Manchester City won the league and posted a loss of 300 million nobody is saying it doesn't bode well for football there are hardly any sports teams that run at a profit

Football grows every year. Prem teams are usually owned by some mega rich person who uses it as their hobby. RL teams are usually run by wealthy small business owners and as a sport is stagnating.

imagine having to fund two underperforming marquee players with that as well.

Typical Cas fan think their clubs the dogs after one good season, so what if they posted a profit as stated above they were going under until the Daryl Clarke deal.
Leeds been financially stable and profitable for 20 years. they will almost likely run at a loos for next 10 years due to good debt regarding the ground redevelopment. plus my understanding was rhinos made a loss of profit from previous years but not an overall loss, ie in business talk a loss in simply were your below your projected income.

i do worry about salford and Huddersfield, and wigan's loss is alarming as that sort of loss when you don't even own your own assets is concerning.

That's because Man City are owned by people who have essentially unlimited money.

This is ultimately the biggest kick in the teeth about it all.

Giants 1.05 million
Salford 1.35 million

Well you turned a Leeds £148,199 profit in to a £260k loss so I can only assume Huddersfield made about half a million in profit

Not sure where you've got that from. Leeds made a profit in 2016, for the 13th time in 15 years.
