What really worries me wollo is as you say ,the the sky money is in the bag ,to some extent so are the sponsors .But we are going to find it extremely difficult to build our fan base on current performances which will have serious repercussions on the recruitment front going forwards .As has been stated plenty of time ,if we had the money available which star is going to want to play in a whipping boys team . The quality we have will only go one way as I see it until we can build a team ,not of superstars but a team that win or lose plays to the best of their abilities, which is something I personally don’t see ,although by the last performance there is a glimmer of hope . A winning team equates to a growing fan base which in turn put money in the coffers to attract and buy these better quality players we all crave for. If people are happy for this once great club to suffer a slow lingering death I question your loyalty ,just as people question mine for daring to speak my mind about this great clubs current predicament which has slowly but surely turned into a team of easy beats .
I’ll be on the terraces until I draw my last breathe , but there aren’t many of me left ,and if we don’t turn the tide very soon there will be far fewer going forwards and that my friends truly saddens me .This club is bigger than everyone ,coaches , Directors ,they all have come and gone but the Trin has kept going throughout ,I hope my grandkids are stood watching this once proud team in 20/30 years time ,and so to that end we must do whatever it takes to keep this club going . If this current crop had as much pride and passion for our club as I have had over the years we wouldn’t be staring down the barrels as we are now .

Because it's nonsense. Leeds along with Wigan, Saints, Hull, and Warrington pay top wages, usually, way way more than we do.

What they don't have to do is pay over the odds. If we offer a player X and Leeds match it, the player will generally go to Leeds for overwhelmingly obvious reasons. So Leeds doesn't pay low, they just don't have to pay higher. Interestingly it's less effective with overseas players, who will generally follow the money despite the crud they spout about new challenges.

This is why by comparison most of our SL stars have usually been overseas players as we can't compete at a domestic level.

I think the difference that players stay at Leeds for more than they could get rather than what we could offer.

Simple really ,where are these players going to get winners medals ,wakefield or Leeds. As we’ve seen first hand injuries play a big part in any league campaign, would have thought it was a no brainier really , get a chance of a winners medal at leeds or zero chance at wakey . Leeds have always have had bigger ambitions than wakey ,and a young lad starting out would find it hard to resist if called on by the loiners over wakey
It was Sinfield himself who stated this some years ago not some silly chip oil talk

i think if we beat leigh the times we play them that might be enough to survive

I wouldn't sit comfortably if we only had 4/6 points this season. I certainly wouldn't be expecting to stay up.
