Super League clubs yesterday gave their unanimous backing for a merger between Gateshead and Hull Sharks. The move brings to an end Super League rugby in Gateshead as the newly-formed club will play in Hull. The merger's acceptance means the new club will receive £1.25m over two years[/b:29hh40bl].[/color:29hh40bl]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47724.gif

Working on that logic why go anywhere?? Surely if Rovers are as skint as you seem to think, we'd just do what we did last year and not go anywhere. It's not as if we went to portugal last year and scrimped by going only to Wales this year is it, even after stating the criticality of warm weather training last year...
