The kids that are doing it now are doing it for free,it's a hobby for them unlike Sarah Elson dolls who charged the club quite a bit of money every week, I know my daughter loves doing it and puts plenty of hard work in just to try and keep you entertained! If you've got any ideas that don't cost a penny to entertain at half time and prematch I'm sure the club would love to hear from you!

Must have missed them, my bad

I'm of the opinion that if you haven't got cheerleaders the "quality" of the NFL, then don't bother. We're a country that's never really got the stuff surrounding the match, which is why it's so poor unless you get pros in to do it (which we can't afford.)

I'm not interested in seeing primary school children dance, and, probably as someone in my mid-30s, shouldn't have been watching the Dolls last year, but if they're free, I'll just read the programme and chat to my mates.

I understand people are worried about money, as anyone would be with what the club has gone through over the past few years.

When the dolls were dancing at the club 2 of them were also running the dance academy. Combining both games and the academy they cost the club approx 7000 per year, but earned the club a profit of approx 1000 through rugby league double sales (not massive - but a profit at least) .
This year the club has employed someone full time to run dance, costing approx 15 grand per year (I admit I don't know the exact figure) - where's the profit in that? This is costing far more than the 8000 ish brought in from rugby league doubles over the year.

The dolls were lovely girls who loved dancing at the club and representing them wherever they went. It's a shame there's negativity towards them from some people- not everyone I know!

Costing 7000 per year?? You're having a laugh
