Hull KR the pride of East Hull.: |

| Quote: atomic "You don’t have the Salary Cap to match the wages. The whole point of expansion is to develop. If you don’t do that,you simply don’t expand.
That’s the failings within the current game which has been exploited and abused. The game survives on youth, without it you have no game. All the money in the world may buy you a squad but it won’t develop the sport.'"
Whilst I agree with the centimente behind your post.
Toronto are a slightly special case. In that they were never going to do anything with regards youth straight away. Given that it's a totally new enterprise.
Now if in 5 years it's still the same situation and have only 1 or 2 canadian players in there squad. Then we can complain about it. |

| That statement answers a few of the critics questions regarding Barrow not having a full team to put out , the RFL will ignore the position they are in at the expense of others.  |

| Quote: "The club needed money quickly and before the end of the financial year on November 30th. Firstly, to start paying back the immediate debt and secondly to prevent a massive breach of the salary cap, that would have resulted in the club losing its promotion.'"
This bit is confusing, how does them needing a cash boost equate to avoiding breaking the salary cap?
Also not surprised to read further down that the club offered two year deals to many players - some with increased wages if promotion was obtained.
This was always going to happen as soon as this league structure was voted in, as a Bradford fan I know this only too well. |

It’s not the RFL’s fault that neither Barrow nor Whitehaven can add up. |

Super League fan, you can now add Keighley to that list....
KEIGHLEY COUGARS CLUB STATEMENT
We are releasing this statement to inform all involved with the Keighley Cougars that we recently came within hours of going out of existence.
This would have meant Keighley Rugby League, a staple of the Keighley community for 117 years and a place that has brought so much joy to those who have been involved with our great club, would have been consigned to nothing more than memory and the history book.
The borough of Keighley has a population of over 90,000 people and our average attendances are in the 600 region meaning that only 0.7% of our community support the club on a regular basis.
The reason behind this is our now former Chairman, Gary Fawcett, is currently reluctant to sell his shares in the club thus blocking any proposed takeover of Keighley Cougars and causing the club financial hardship.
As of the 29th June 2018 after paying players contract payments, the club bank balance currently stands at a sum of £34.23.

Let me guess, it's the RFL's fault that only 600 people care about Keighley Cougars?

Rugby League Club Chairman is an incompetent fool. Hardly breaking news. Nor is it the RFL’s fault. |
