Quote Harold Rigby Jnr="Harold Rigby Jnr"Central funding:
2017 - Promotion to SL - £1.7 Million
2018 - Relegation to Championship - £1.2 Million
2019 - From Finishing 6th in Championship - In reality c£0.00 give or take a few k.
Quite simply put, finishing 5th or 6th was not accrued in the budget when awarding this team of 'NRL and SL superstars' 2 year contracts to the end of 2019. We are now where we are, off loading the wage bill to a more sustainable level.'"
Have no problem with the fact that we are downsizing, and no problem with supporting a part time team next year. In fact, quite looking forward to the prospect of supporting a team looking to upset the odds, and less of a circus around the club in general.
However, it would appear that Plan B hasn't really been planned. Derek says he's committed to seeing the season out, but who will play for the rest of the season?
