But both Fax and York are in a better position financially so why would it be a major concern you are getting outbid for players?
Well, it's pretty much that. If we are serious about building towards Super League (I don't think we are, but that doesn't mean the club isn't peddling that line) then we shouldn't be getting outbid or be in a worse financial position than (with all due respect blah blah) Halifax and York.
Looking at next season, there'll be a cashed-up Leigh, either Featherstone or Toulouse, also pretty cashed up. Then there's the rest scrabbling for the other play-off spots. It looks like we could end up grabbing the shirt tails of Halifax, York, even Newcastle (who are apparently going Full Time and spending money like it's going out of fashion).
If that's where we are these days then fair enough. Just stop with the 'we are going for SL' narrative.
Anyeay, I suppose we'll have a better idea when the squads take shape
